How do I play vinyl records on my Mixx Analog Plus fully automatic turntable?

Playing records on the Mixx Analog Plus is very straightforward, and because it’s fully automatic, you don’t need to touch the tonearm at any point. Here’s how to get the best out of it.

Get your record ready

Place your vinyl on the platter.
If it’s a 7" single with the larger centre hole, slot the 45 RPM adapter into place — you’ll find it stored in the little holder beside the turntable.

Choose the right speed and size

Press the FN button on the turntable (or 33/45 on the remote) to select the correct speed for your record.
Press the Size button to set either 12" or 7".

The display will show “VR” along with the speed and size you’ve chosen.

This bit matters: if the size is set incorrectly, the tonearm won’t know where to drop. It can land in the wrong place or potentially damage your stylus, so it’s always worth a quick double-check.

Prepare the tonearm

Remove the stylus protector. You don’t need to touch the tonearm itself — the turntable handles everything from here.

Start playing

Press Play (either on the unit or the remote).
The Mixx Analog Plus will lift the tonearm, move it into position, gently lower it onto the record and start playing automatically. No manual placing, no lining things up — it does the lot.

Pause and resume

If you want to pause a record mid-play, press Play/Pause.
The tonearm will lift while the platter keeps spinning, and you’ll see “II” flashing on the display.
Press the button again and it will lower itself back to exactly the same spot.

Skip forward or back

You can move through a record electronically using the Forward or Rewind buttons.
A quick press nudges the tonearm slightly; holding the button moves it further.
The tonearm will reposition itself without you ever needing to touch it — in fact, you shouldn’t, as it’s a fully automatic mechanism.

Repeat play

If you want the record to loop continuously, press Repeat.
When the record reaches the end, the tonearm will return to the start of the first track and begin playing again.
Press Repeat once more to turn the feature off.

When the record ends

Under normal circumstances, the turntable recognises the run-out groove. The tonearm will automatically lift and return to its rest position. Simple as that.

If it doesn’t stop automatically

A handful of vinyl pressings don’t have the standard end grooves the turntable looks for, so it may not know the record has finished.
If this happens, just press Stop and the tonearm will return to rest.
It’s not a fault — just a quirk of some records.
