As time waltzes on we find, understandably, that many are unsure of the way in which autochanger record decks should be used. We have therefore produced this short guide which also accompanies
this guide.
Record decks are many and varied, so we've stuck here to a few of the commonest layouts.
Please note that our forums contain much more information on record decks, as indeed does the internet.
This guide assumes all is in good order; stylus, cartridge, deck mechanics and amplifer being all in servicable condition. In connection with that, it is not the purpose of this guide to cover faults; these are well covered in the Vintage Audio section of the forums.
The following two posts are only to explain the layout of the controls. Subsequent posts explain the setting up, operation and what to do when you've got bored and want to pack your record player away again.
Thanks to Kat Manton and Michael Maurice for some of the images (the better quality ones!) in this guide.
