“ With the programming lever set to the OFF position, plug the power cord into a suitable outlet. Many amplifiers provide convenient receptacles on their rear panels, to which the turntable power cord may be connected. Often, these receptacles (Fig. J) are labelled "SWITCHED" and "UNSWITCHED". An unswitched outlet is powered at all times. A switched outlet is powered only when the amplifier is "ON". ”

Manual Play
Insert the manual spindle and move the program control knob to the manual position. The turntable will begin to rotate at the selected speed. Carefully lift the tonearm by the cueing lever, and place it on the record. After the record has been played the toenarm will return to the tonearm rest and the unit will shut off. If you wish to discontinue playing in the middle of a record, press the play button. The tonearm will return to its rest, and the unit will shut off. ”

“ Return all records to their protective sleeves and jackets. Do not leave records on the turntable for long periods if not in use.
Store vertical rather than horizontally or flat. If possible, store records at average room temperatures. Do not permit them near or in contact with heat producing devices, such as radiators, electronic equipment, amplifiers, etc. Excessive temperatures tend to cause warpage of records. Avoid handling the groove surfaces as this will deposit a film of oil. Hold records by their outer edges when mounting or removing from turntable to keep records clean. ”
