Introduction

This guide is used to provide step-by-step instructions for performing a mechanical reset on all AT-LP60/LP60X and AT-LP3/LP3X models. This procedure is used to resolve some instances of inconsistent functionality of the auto start/stop function of the automatic turntable.

There are no replacement parts or tools required to perform this procedure.

Step 1

Unplug the power source located on the back of the turntable.

Step 2

Press the stop button located at the front of the turntable one time.
During this step, remove your record (if one is on the turntable) and remove the black felt mat.

Step 3

With your right hand, hold the tone arm in the rest so that it does not move.
With your left hand, slowly rotate the platter clockwise until you hear a series of clicks.
After hearing the series of clicks, the cam gear assembly should not rotate while the platter is spinning - if the cam gear is still rotating, press the stop button again and repeat Step 3.
Cam gear assembly - white gear visible through holes of the platter.
Allowing the tone arm to move freely during this process can result in the stylus being broken.
