This is like a new car that you can't get into gear unless you put your foot on the brake.Why tec support could not tell you how is bad. It's so easy it's hard the first time.Plug the unit in. Place a record on the turn table. Press the cue button. Lift the arm and bring it over to the record.Press the cue button to lower the needle. Your turn table is turning. It' a clever way they have it set up BUT why didn't they put it into the instructions. I think I'ts a great unit.

This is funny. Looks like some people are too young to have ever used a manual turntable. The turntable will turn on and spin automatically when the arm is pushed over the record and lowered! Just like my old Technics turntable.

Jim: I, too, am pulling my hair out. I read everyone's reviews and I did what you guys suggested, but still no turn. I am exhausted.Frustrated Barbara

No offense to the first few letter writers, but it does show how remotes and having everything work automatically has changed the world. Hmmmm, I wonder if that's why my screw driver won't turn. I never could find the darned on/off switch!!!

I bought the Ion turntable from Costco (in store) too. After reading all of these issues, I think I'll just not even take it out of the box and return it tomorrow! Also, I paid more for it at Costco than it's costs here. I bought a gadget from QVC called an Inport Deluxe for about $80. Note that I have not used it yet so I cannot give an opinion on it. You have to use your own turntable, cassette player, reel to reel or radio and connect to your computer. It comes w/software that removes pops and clicks. I like that it's more versatile than just a turntable. Hope it works!

I am another who bought this turntable from Costco.com. My problem turned out to be that the belt was not even on but hanging freely. You could see it through on one of the openings in the platter. So I popped off the clip around the spindle holding the platter on and attached the belt. I used a Bic pen cap, placed between the platter and the belt in one of the openings on the platter to make it very easy to attach the belt to the post on the table. Everything appears to work now although I have not recorded anything.

I had the same experience. Tech people were helpful and sympathetic (sounds like they have dealt with these issues many times). Now the next mountain to climb is the Audacity software which, for a non-techie, seems perfectly named.L. Gavrichhttp://www.golfcommunityreviews.com

To Camilla: I also noticed when I push the play/pause button it shows "no usb". So I push the play/pause button again and the same thing happens. Then I pushed the Mode button that didn't seem to help either. I also noticed it does not respond immediately when you press any button. When I open and close the CD holder it goes back to square one. So now I just keep pushing the play/pause button and sometimes it responds. I don't like this at all. When you read the instructions they are very confusing. I am thinking about returning mine. Hope this helps you decide if you want to keep it.

It does not appear to turn on when power is applied ... which is why I will be returning it. It requires pressing and holding the power button for ~3 seconds.

That happened with mine also. For me, holding the power button down for a ridiculously long time worked and it powered on. 99% of the time, it turns on easily now. Only once since then has it failed to power up normally. Holding the power button for the prolonged time was successful again. Best of luck!

I also charged mine for 24 hours, actually longer cause I charged it in the guest bathroom. Anyway, I pressed the button and while holding it you slide it up and it turns on. Maybe charge it longer and if that doesn't work it might be a defected one. Hope you can figure it out, otherwise you'll have to send it back and wait to get another one. I love mine, so it would be worth the wait if you had to return it.

What are you describing as a "Release" button? I just use the power button, myself.
2165466
Yep it's the button on the side. Push for on and push for off. My button make a loud click when I push it. Also, you might double check to make sure your unit is charged. I'm very happy with mine.

Cool... I struggled with this for a week. Could not find any reset button or hard reset. Turning the switch off for 15 seconds by holding my thump on the lower right corner of the screen. It asked with a message 'Do you want to erase user setup?' I pressed No and then it started working...What is this placing finger on the right bottom corner does, no idea. but it works! Thanks a million.

Well,...that's just it. It's an odd design because there is NO trigger. The power button is on the back of the unit and you would use your thumb to slide it on and off. The slide button will indeed lock in either the on, or the off, position.

Thanks everyone. However, I KNEW I where to press to turn it on. My problem was I charged it for 16 hours and when I pressed the button it did NOTHING. I messed around with it and then took the chance on charging it for about 12 more hours. I put it on the charger and smashed it in real hard and now I think it's working. Maybe I didn't have it fully in the charger. It seems weird that it just sits in there with no connection port. We'll see. I appreciate everyone taking the time to try and help. Happy Holidays.

"J. Chin says: Any updates? Does this keyboard now allow for the mapping of a "Start" and "PS" button?! Please advise, I'm thinking of getting a keyboard but I don't know which one to buy for the ps3. The $80 doesn't seem to work that well (well, it's imperfect without any way to overcome its flaws)."J.Chin,Is the $80 keyboard that you refer to the Playstation 3 Logitech Cordless Mediaboard, or the newer Playstation 3 Logitech Cordless Mediaboard Pro (with the PS3 keys)?

My guess is that it's a bad bit of hardware (battery that isn't holding a charge) or the power button is malfunctioning. You have to hold down the "play" button for a long time to get it to turn on and I think that must put a lot of pressure on the button. I'd contact the manufacturer and tell them what the problem is and ask for a replacement unit.

I sent it back for a refund and bought another brand. Didn't trust this one and didn't look like the power button was fixable as it kind of just fell in. Several reviews report problems with this power buttton. I think the company has corrected on newer ones but I wouldn't trust that I would get one of the newer ones. They should have recalled this model but didn't.

I have the same issue/question... there definitely is a model that has a DC power port, and when I ordered from here the picture showed that model (and this listing still shows the same picture). The power port is on the right side as you view it from the front. HOWEVER, the unit I received did not have the port. I would love to know where I can purchase one.

that would be something you would have to take up with the company, I have no idea if they would send you a new one. I can tell you it's really hard to get in touch with our customer service because I tried to do the same thing after the top piece by the power button split, I wanted to see if I could get a new top piece without getting a whole new battery pack and never got an answer back.

You must have hit the wrong button. I am just a customer. If you keep hunting around you will find someone to purchase from. I searched on the internet last time and bought them. I did not find them on Amazon.
