Operation
Reverse mode can be engaged while the platter is stationary or while it is spinning - ie whilst playing a track.
To toggle switch between forward and reverse, press the start-stop switch for more than one second.
This may not seem long, but in normal use you only press the start-stop switch for a fraction of this time.
Visual notification
When in reverse the 33 or 45 RPM speed switch LED's which are usually lit steadily will blink twice a second.
This is your visual cue that the turntable is in reverse mode - essential to know when the platter is stationary.

Conversley, when changing the platter direction from reverse to forward, a single long tone will be heard : --------
By default audio notification is off when the turntable is switched on - the sounder can be removed if not required.
