Does the tone arm retract automatically at the end of a record, or if it does, can it be disabled?

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

Arm does not retract. There is an autostop switch which can be set to stop the turntable when he arm gets to the end. Once the arm gets to the end, you can raise it with the raise lever, but the arm itself does not retract.

I'm an audiobook listener, and it will remember you previous track position, assuming you don't skip tracks or add/remove any files. If you do, then it loses the position.

The awnser button on the mic doubles as a mute button. It also stops/starts music and such.

Yes. Remove the four screws holding the top onto the body, then adjust the spring tension screw underneath. Adjust in small increments, then test. It takes awhile. Just don't let the turntable and tone arm flop around too much while adjusting the reset screw.

This model does have any kind of auto stop. Of course, you can look over and see when you've reached the end of the record. (Recording through the USB connection isn't affected if you have your speakers on too)

Yes ... When the stylus goes into the inner grooves at the end of the record, the arm lifts and goes to rest in it's home position and the turn table stops.

No. "At the end of the tape, playback stops and the unit turns off automatically."

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....

Yes it has a pause button during playback. During recording, it does not. You would just hit the record button again and it would stop recording.

This arm DOES return to the rest by itself, it doesn't just sit on the record. But you do have to place it on the record yourself initially. It does have a cuing lever.

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

An old trick I learned when I was a kid was to put a penny on top of the head of the tone arm, the little bit of extra weight keeps the needle in the groove. If it happens with every record that might fix it, if one penny helps but doesn't stop the skipping add another. I wouldn't put more than 3 pennies on it though.I hope that works.

It only plays one record, no stacking. You must load tonearm on the record but it does have an automatic return to stop function.

Hi C.There is a reverse(rewind) button(also fast forward,stop, and pause) to turn back tape to certain spot. But if you are talking about auto-reverse - where the tape automatically goes to the next side when first side is finished - no it does not have that. There is no counter either so when you do reverse, you just have to stop and go till you find what you want - it's a nice little recorder/player for the price,mine has a slight humming in the background when I recorded voices, but didnt bother me much - I have this and have written a review(on jan 10th/10) with feature details - it may be of some helpLaurie Hi C.There is a reverse(rewind) button(also fast forward,stop, and pause) to turn back tape to certain spot.

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

If you were to pull the USB cord out it would stop straight away. However if you have Serato DJ tehre are stop time controls and effects that you can use to create a nice fade out if you want to do it that way :)

The button doesn't skip tracks or adjust volume. It does however pause the music, and unpause. Hope this helps.
