The strobe-illuminator/pilot lamp will light up and the
turntable platter will start to rotate.

The tonearm will descend slowly onto the record and
play will begin.

return to the arm rest (auto-return), and the turntable
platter will stop rotation.

The turntable platter will continue to rotate briefly due
to its own inertia.

select knob to the neutral 0 position.

Attach the stylus protector, if you have one, to guard
the stylus tip from damage.

How to stop play

The tonearm automatically returns to the arm rest, and the
turntable stops rotating.

How to suspend play
Set the cueing lever to the up position.
The stylus tip of the cartridge will be lifted from the record.
