Operation: Semi-automatic with auto-return tonearm; the tonearm returns automatically at the end of the record or when the reject button is pressed.
Pitch Control: Equipped with a pitch adjustment knob for fine speed tuning.
Tonearm: Straight tonearm with adjustable tracking force and anti-skate controls, allowing precise cartridge setup.
