if i forget to turn it off when a record is done playing will the needle or my record get damaged?

If you let it run too long, the label will drop out. :)Just kidding, I agree with Mark and Tom.

I agree with Mark. If done repeatedly I expect there would be premature needle wear

Not that I have noticed, I have done it several times myself! It may shorten the needle's overall life span ... whatever that might be ... but as for damage to the record, that's unlikely.

I have only had mine for a couple of months and have not seen that kind of behavior from it at this point. Is it possible that it was in your pocket and the stop button got bumped accidentally thereby initiating a pause, and then (again accidentally) the record button got bumped thereby re-starting the record operation from that pause?

No. "At the end of the tape, playback stops and the unit turns off automatically."

If it were me, I would erase all previous recordings and start anew at the time you where concerned about. Leaving the system running makes sure you didn't forget to turn it on, or something happen at a time where you least expected it.

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.

It has a test / silence button. I would think that you would just need to press the button if you accidentally cause it to go off.

yes it does show on the recording when you play it back. But it can be off in the playback if you set it up in the off mode in the main menu

No, once you upload it you can unplug it. I love mine! Currently have it in the 93 performance, maybe one day I will upload another tune lol!

Not at all, stopping the loop leaves all the information intact. Even when power is removed the loop is there waiting when you plug it back in. Actually deleting the loop requires that you stop the loop and hold down the record button; feels much like smothering it with a pillow. Holding down the record button while the loop is still playing simply undoes the last thing you recorded. In my humble opinion, the Ditto's a real solid pedal.

First of all yes there is a lifting and lowering arm for placing the needle on the album and it auto returns when done . Also there is a locking clip that secures the arm in place when not in use ! It needs to be slid over to the right to un secure the arm before play . I hope this helps please let me know if you need more help or have any more questions . :)

Yes. I ordered two replacement needles when I purchased the unit. You will be pleasantly surprised at the performance and sound quality of this unit. I considered the Crosley but too many negative reviews led me to the Electrohome unit. Be sure and clean the records before playing or recording them. It will help reduce static and will make the needle last much longer. Good luck-->

Happens a lot with record players needle is just not heavy enough tape a penny to the top of the arm/needle and that will fix the problem

Back in the 60s we put a coin on the needle head. Depending on the depth of the scratch, could be dime, nickel, or penny. Nickels seemed to work the best. If that didn't work, I held my finger on the needle head at the spot, kind of re-grooving the record.. It always worked and never skipped there again. And I still have my collection of 300+ 45s and albums.

Yes. Plug it in, place the record on the turntable. Turn the power/volume switch on. Manually move the needle arm to the start of the record. Music starts. That's all there is to it.

If it's not turning and the blue light is on your turntable might be broken. Every time I put the arm on the record or just take it off the clip the record begins to spin.

I haven't had any problems with mine, but it is a cheap portable record player that is very convenient for sampling used records before purchase. That's all I use mine for.

Yes!!! The NO answers are incorrect. A record player signal needs to be adjusted for the RIAA curve that is applied to the Vinyl when it is made. You will need a Phono preamp before this amp, otherwise the music will sound horrible
