Does the tone arm retract automatically at the end of a record, or if it does, can it be disabled?

no, it doesn't retract; but once it finishes the last band the turntable stops - you can set a switch for this not to happen (which I've never done, so I assume it just keeps turning); this is a really nifty little unit - I am thrilled to have bought it

Arm does not retract. There is an autostop switch which can be set to stop the turntable when he arm gets to the end. Once the arm gets to the end, you can raise it with the raise lever, but the arm itself does not retract.

Yes it does have a stop button, but it goes back to the beginning of the cd you are playing, Hope this helps

If I remember correctly from my RCA days, putting weight on the tone arm can eventually damage the records. Hopefully there is a "skating" adjustment that will cause the tone arm to track less strongly.

If you were to pull the USB cord out it would stop straight away. However if you have Serato DJ tehre are stop time controls and effects that you can use to create a nice fade out if you want to do it that way :)

About the retracting Microphone shaft. It stopped retracting after just a few uses so now its on all the time...which is very annoying since my cell phone gets picked up by this device even when I am in the house as its within range. I have duct tape holding the shaft in the retracted position. It is over 30 days since I bought it so I can't seem to return it to Amazon since It will not let me generate an RMA.

The arm is a manual start but is automatic return at the end of the record.

The awnser button on the mic doubles as a mute button. It also stops/starts music and such.

No but there's a button to pause your music. And for me, when I press it twice it skips the track and goes to the next one.

Yes, but if the song on the 7" is long (over 5 mins), the turntable will stop automatically :(

The arm goes back and the vinyl stops spinning automatically. But you have to turn the power/volume knob down to completely turn off the power.

sorry, can't help you, it was a gift for someone, I didn't open the box. I think there was something on the box about overriding recording though

When the record finishes playing the turntable stops. You have to lift it and move it to the side.

If you hit the rewind button while playing, you should be able to put the recorder in rewind mode. Otherwise its hit stop and then rewind. Since I returned the unit, I am assuming you would be able to go directly from playing to rewind without stopping and then rewinding for any period. Similar recorders do have that feature.

No the turntable is not fully automatic. You must sit the arm on the record and at that time the record begins to turn. It will not return the arm to its starting position. HOWEVER, it does cut off when the record is finished and the arm has moved to the center. Hope this helps! Bob

No it does not, a double click pauses the music, and brings it back again. How ever no Siri control.

I have another brand that does that. I leave it in and switch to FM to get it to stop. When I go back to tape it works properly without the clicking and ejecting.

yes the stylus arm has auto return. I still do not recomend this unit as the stylus/cartridge is of inferior quality. The sound reproduced when playing records is very trebbly and does not do your music justice. If your recording feature actually works (mine failed on 4 different units) you would be better off plugging in another quality record player into the auxilliary to record a better sound.Good luck with this unit if you do buy one, but after my experiences with this particular product, I will never purchase this brand again.
