With the button (6) on the right near the tone arm,

Automatic start
Remove the transparent stylus guard by carefully
pulling it towards you.
The lift lever (5) must be in position UP.
Move the knob (7) into position Start and the tone
arm will be automatically lowered onto the record (Fig. 11)
Manual start and tone arm lift
Bring the lift-lever (5) into position UP.
Unlock the tone arm from its rest and move it above
the lead-in groove of the record. The motor and
platter will now start turning. By lowering the
lift-lever (5) the tone arm gently declines, thus
being very kind to your precious records. With the
help of the lift-lever the tone arm may be moved up
and down again anywhere across the record while the
platter keeps turning (Fig. 11)
Stop
After reaching the lead-out groove the tone arm will
be automatically lifted up and returned to its rest.
The motor is switched off. You can also switch off
the record player by either moving knob (7) into
position Stop, or by raising lift-lever (5) into Fig.11
position UP and returning the tone arm manually
to its rest.
