When I put on a record, hit "start," the arm moves over towards the record, hovers a bit, then without playing anything, returns to its "home". ????

I have had mine for over a year and play it every day and have no problems. Have you tried contacting Sony for some tech support? That would be my only suggestion.....sorry I couldn't be more help.

I had the same problem after I had it for about 2 years... as did others I read about. I took it apart thinking I could fix it and saw how it was made....it is a throw-away, all plastic junk. Funny thing is when I put it back together it worked again for a while. I finally just threw it away...If you want my recomendataion I would bang it around a bit, then see if it works again, it did for me. If not? Toss it, it is junk!

I know mine does it on a set rotation as set-up on my thumb drive. It may also do random but I've never looked to see.

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?

I put my photo into the input in the back that says rec. line. I have not checked to see if it worked yet just because I have not played an album.

After you install the new firmware to the card, power the unit up while holding down the play button. Then press the >> button once and press record....give it about 5 seconds and then power it off and then back on and it should work just fine.....just sort of did it by accident!

mine did something like this once when i first got it (2 years ago). the turntable was jammed somehow. sorry i can't remember any more details.

For me, the record stops in the dead zone, but the needle does not lift. So the needle just sits on the record until removed (but w/o record spinning).

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 takes a few seconds before recording starts after you push record. As for looking at it, I don't think it knows if you're looking at it or not. Just push the record button, look wherever you want.

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.

Try to remove and reseat your pick up stylus. The vocal content of a record is likely in mono, while the music is stereo. If the stylus isn't seated correctly it might not respond properly to the vocal content. Of course, I assume you properly removed the stylus guard which the unit ships with installed. I can't imagine you would get any pickup period if you left it in place. I was very disappointed in the unit I bought. The audio quality is such that you won't get any "thumping" bass from the unit. It only has two watts per channel and sounds like a 50's vintage table radio

1st: Make sure it's set to the correct setting: 33 1/3, 45 or 78 (Size/Speed of Record)2nd: Make sure the Record is not Warped/ badly scratched (this may cause skipping) 3rd: Make sure the record and needle are clean: (Use Alcohol & a Vinyl LP cleaner for Record/Qtip for Needle) last: *Since I don't believe this model has a weight setting on the arm and I'd hate to see you tape a bunch of penny's to it so it stops the skipping...I'd recommend you contact: the manufacture: (Website) http://www.electrohome.com/contact/

It may be the record itself perhaps? Is the player level? My unit works beautifully 2 yrs now!

Automatic. You press Start and it goes. When the record's finished (or when you press Stop), it automatically lifts the needle arm and returns it to the arm rest. You 'can' do it manually if you want though....

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

reset button on back--both extreme records revert to current temperature. I had to open and clean the swith on one of the three meters I bought--works fine now. Pat.

It has a switch that you move from record to play...ours went in stuffies as well and we haven't had any issues so far...
