Push the lift lever (it is besides the auto stop switch) backward to raise the tone arm and gently move the tone arm to the desired position over the record. You can turn the pitch control knob to adjust the speed of the platter little by little. The turntable will begin to spin when the tonearm is moved toward the record (when the AUTO STOP switch is ON). Push the lift lever forward to lower the tone arm slowly onto the desired position on the record to start playback.b ( Note: when you push the lift lever forward, do not push it beyond the position of the tone arm clip)
