@ For auto-return or reject during play
If you press the stop button during play (without first
pressing the cueing button), the tonearm will rise and return
to the start position and the platter will stop rotating.
Auto-return (reject) operation will not take place if the stop
button is depressed while the tonearm is raised above the
record surface.

@ For playing single-play 45 rpm records
Press down lightly on the 45-adaptor while turning counter-
clockwise. The adaptor will pop up above the platter surface.
17 cm (7") diameter 45 rpm records are automatically played
at 45 rpm, thanks to optoelectronic detection of record size
when the speed select knob is at the auto position.
@ For playing non-standard records
When playing larger than normal diameter 45 rpm records or
smaller than normal 33-1/3 records, open the cabinet and
turn the speed select knob to the appropriate speed setting.
Record size will still be detected automatically.
For playing transparent records (which may be coloured red,
green, yellow, blue, etc.) you must place the accessory
optical sensor light-block sheet on the turntable mat under
the record (otherwise the optoelectronics will operate as if
there were no record on the turntable mat).
Operation is the same as for auto-play. (Never use the
light-block sheet with ordinary non-transparent. records.)
Using the optical sensor light-block sheets
Use these sheets to cover up the light-guide slits on the platter
when playing transparent records (which may be coloured red,
green, yellow, blue etc.)
First put the light-block sheet on the turntable mat, then put the
record on top
e For 45 rpm singles, use the smaller (17 cm or 7") sheet.
For other transparent records (17 cm, 25cm, 30cm or 7", 10",
12”), use the larger sheet and shift it around on the platter
so that it covers up the correct light-guide slits appropriate
to the record diameter, as shown in the diagrams.

Placement
Place the unit in a stable position where there is little or no
vibration.
Locate the unit as far away from the speakers as possible and
isolate the unit from sound radiation from them.
Do not use or store this unit where it will be exposed to dust,
dirt, high humidity or high temperature. Do not place it near
heaters.
Do not place it near or on top of a power amplifier, since
power amps radiate much heat.
Do not use under direct sunlight, spotlights, or other
extremely bright light sources.
Bright lights may cause misoperation of the optical sensor
system and therefore interference with automatic operation.
This also applies to flashlights or infrared remote control
units brought very close to the turntable.
Place the turntable away from the power amp to prevent
hum.
Hum may be caused by leakage flux from the transformer
in the power amplifier (or integrated amp). Therefore. if you
notice hum, try moving the turntable to a slightly different
location, further away from the amp
Keep it in a well ventilated place.
@ When a radio is placed too close to the turntable and is
played while the turntable is in operation, interference to
AM/FM reception may result.
We do not recommend operating this unit while driving an
automobile.
