A:Answer You can get many answers on the Audio Technica site (www.audio-technica.com) ... But yes, to your answer. These "fully automatic" units usually means that you press start, the turntable spins, you move arm over record and use the 'lever' on the arm lifter to lower the arm/stylus to the record. You can manually lift in the same way at any point to reset where it plays. At end of record, arm automatically lifts and motor shuts off, but arm does not return to rest point, you would do that manually. Simple design means less to go wrong!
