ABSTRACT:
A stationary record player having a turn table and a pickup pivotally secured to the turn table, so as to trace, when rotated together with the turn table, the recording groove of a stationary record medium on which the record player as a whole is placed. The record player has various novel functions such as an automatic stopping function for automatically stopping the player when the play is finished with the record medium, an automatic returning function for automatically resetting the stylus to the starting position, a lift-stop function for automatically stopping the player when the latter is lifted up from the record medium a slide-stop function for automatically stopping the player when the latter is displaced laterally from the correct mounting position on the record medium, a pause state eliminating function for stopping the player when the latter in the pause state is lifted up from the record disc, and so forth. These functions are effective to prevent the unnecessary wear of the stylus and to protect the latter from any damaging external force. Further, the force required for turning the player into operation is derived from a motor for driving the turn table, so as to obtain an improved operability of the player. The playing performance of the player is further improved by an additional provision of an end repeat and optional repeat functions by means of which the playing is performed repeatingly over the full or a desired part of the record medium.
