is the turntable fully automatic which means the arm returns to its starting position when the record has finished?

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

Hello, in fortunatly the unit that I ordered from amazon never powered on when I got it. I contacted for a return but never heard back. I don't think it has a turntable as most commercial units don't.

It's not an automatic revolving turntable. You are just able to turn it by hand.

There is a switch setting that allows the tone arm to stop when it hits the run-off groove at the end of a record. That way if you fall asleep the record won't keep spinning and the stylus won't continue to grate on the record surface. You can either choose to turn this feature on or leave it off.

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

No. This piece is a simple record player and it plays GOOD! The tonearm does not return automatically when the record is finished. You can always do it manually.

The record begins to spin after the stylus settles. I absolutely love this turn table.

The tone arm does not automatically return on this model. You have to lift it when the records finishes playing. I don't find this to be a big deal for a nice turntable that costs $100

Yes. When I turn it,it automatically goes back to the original position. Works perfectly

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

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 I'm using the arm correctly, you set it on the record to begin with, but if you have first clicked it to the right, then it will remove from the finished record automatically and rest back at the side.

Yes, it does. Worth noting: One must place the needle on a record manually to play. It does, however, return to its resting place after the record plays.

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.

At the end of the record , the tonearm is automatically repositioned back on the tonearm post and the unit is switched off.

Sounds like a loose connection, but I think more information is needed to diagnose the problem. Is there a troubleshooting guide in the owners manual? Does the tone arm return to the home position when it stops playing or does the turntable just stop?
