HOW THE AUTO RECORD SIZE
SELECTION WORKS
When the START/STOP button is pressed, the tonearm goes
automatically into the lead-in groove, whether the record is 30cm
or 17 cm. A beam from the lamp is transmitted through the holes on
the rubber mat and the platter to the photo detectors which ac-
tivate the auto record size selection.

When a 30 cm record is to be played,
both inner and outer holes are covered
so no beam is transmitted to the photo
detector.

the tonearm lowers to the same point
if a 30 cm record were on the platter,
since both the inner and outer holes
are covered. To play a 25cm record,
proceed as in “TO BEGIN RECORD
PLAY AT A PARTICULAR POINT.”
When a transparent record is to be played,
a beam passes through both the inner
and outer holes to the detectors so the
tonearm does not lower onto the
record. To play a transparent record,
bring the tonearm onto the record and
press the OPEN/CLOSE button, then
press the ARM LIFTER button.
In this ‘case, auto return and repeat
may not activate at the end of the
groove. Press the START/STOP button
to return the tonearm to the arm rest.

TIPS ON RECORD HANDLING
@Before playing, clean the record with a record cleaner or
soft cloth. If a spray cleaner is used, make sure that it has
dried completely before playing the record. Playing the
record before the cleaner has dried may damage the record.
It is-a good idea to clean the record again before putting it
away. :
@Handle a record by its edges and do not touch the grooves.
Fingerprints on the record surface may encourage an
accumulation of dust, resulting in impaired tone.
e@ Use a commercially available anti-static spray to neutralize
the static electricity on a record.
@ Avoid exposing a record to direct sunlight or sources of
heat, such as a hot-air duct.
@Store your records vertically. They should not be com-
pressed.
REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION WITH AN
OPTIONAL REMOTE CONTROLLER
The optional RM-44 system remote controller controis the following
functions of the turntable: power on/off, start/stop of the record
play, tonearm up/down and synchronized operation with the Sony
cassette decks using the optional RM-65 synchro remote control
unit. This remote controller, with its infrared ray sensor, can control
connected components by a-infrared ray transmitted from the RM-
44C remote commander supplied with the system remote con-
troller. For connections and operations, refer to the system remote
controller’s instruction manual.
