This is a fully automatic direct drive turntable. If you set an EP record and press the start button, it will automatically play at 45 RPM. For LP records, it will play at 33 RPM. For 12-inch 45 RPM records, press the 45 RPM button after pressing the start button. For manual operation, press the speed button and then manually place the cartridge on the record. The cover has scratches and scuffs, but the condition is normal considering its age. The operation is fully automatic, and the rotation speed is accurate with quartz lock. Sound output has not been confirmed as there is no needle. Since the operation has not been confirmed, this is a junk item. Thank you for your understanding.
