the record is 30 cm, pressing the cueing contro! will cause
automatic operation to begin (in the same way as if the start
switch is pressed).
When there is no record on the turntable mat, the platter

returns to the start position.

If you press the start switch for less than one second while a
record is being played, the tonearm returns to the lead-in
groove and begins playing the record again, The LED above
the repeat switch flashes on and off to indicate that
this is happening.
If the cabinet is opened during play, the tonearm returns to
the start position.
If the power switch is turned off during play, the tonearm
rises above the record and stays at that position.
