@ Stop switch:
For stopping play (reject) and outward cueing.
When you press the stop switch (for less than one second),
the tonearm automatically returns to the start position.
(auto-return)
lf you keep the switch depressed (for more than one
second), the tonearm will move outward toward the edge of
the record.
If you press the cueing control to raise the tonearm, and then
press the stop switch intermittently, the arm will move out-
ward in approximately 1 mm steps.
@ Start switch:
For beginning play (auto-start, auto-lead-in) and inward
cueing.
When you press the start switch, the tonearm automatically
moves to the record's lead-in groove and starts playing.
(auto-start, auto-lead-in)
If this switch is pressed during play, the tonearm will return
to the start position and begin playing it over again.
If you keep the switch depressed, the tonearm moves inward
toward the center of the record.
The tonearm will not move when you press the start switch if
there is no record on the platter.
© Cueing control:
For interrupting play
Pressing the cueing control during play causes the tonearm
to rise off the record. To resume play, press the control
again. A muting circuit cuts out noise when the stylus
initially contacts or leaves the record surface.
© Repeat switch:
For repeat play
When you press the repeat switch, an LED lights up and the
record is played repeatedly from beginning to end.
When you want to stop this cycle, merely press the repeat
switch again.
Pressing the stop switch will cause the tonearm to rise and
return to the start position; it will also stop repeat operation.
