When the power supply is first switched on, the power L.E.D. in the power
switch will flash. 33 rpm is selected by pressing the 33 rpm button. Once
pressed 33 rpm is selected and the L.E.D will flash until the turntable has

rpm is pressed then the L.E.D will flash again until the turntable has settled
at 45 rpm. To deactivate 45 rpm press the 45 rpm button again or 33 rpm.

(muted) from the motor.
To switch off at any time, simply press the power switch.
