Technics SL-L3 User Manual

Playing non-standard records and making adjustments
In order to perform program record play, direct song
selection, and forward and backward skip functions
properly, this unit is designed so that the stylus is
lowered shortly before (about 0.5 mm) the
beginning of the gap between songs. Because of
this, no sound is heard for about ten seconds after
the stylus contacts the record when using one of the
above functions.
