Automatic

With regards to a record player, "automatic operation" refers to the fact that certain functions of the record player run automatically without the user having to intervene manually. This approach simplifies operation and makes playing records less time-consuming. Here are some aspects of automatic operation on a record player:

1. Tonearm automation - starting and stopping playback

   A record player with automatic operation has an automatic tonearm. This means that the tonearm with the needle is automatically lowered onto the record when the record player is started. The playback process can be stopped at any time by pressing a button, whereby the tonearm is then automatically raised and returned.
   
   

2. Automatic tonearm stop at the end of the record

   After the last track on the record has been played, the automatic tonearm lifts the tonearm automatically and returns it to its rest position.

The advantage of an automatic record player lies in its user-friendliness. It offers a convenient and user-friendly option that requires less manual intervention, which can also be attractive for newcomers to the world of record playback.

The automatic system minimises the risk of errors, such as accidentally scratching the record due to improper handling.
