Hi, I hate to be the bringer of bad news ...but that thing is worse than the cheap players from 40 years ago. Regardless..the auto stop mechanism is probably activating and causing the issue. It is unlikely that an inexperienced user will be able to fix it. My suggestion is to get it back and return it as defective. It should not malfunction just because it was shipped. For perhaps more specific guidance you might post the question on the vinylengine forum. Lots of expertise there.
BTW, vinyl is surprisingly making a major revival. More turntables were sold last year (this years data is not in yet) by major makers (not companies like the one that made yours) than any year since 1998. Better still more new LPs were pressed than any year since 2000. Why...has everyone speculating but I don't mind. I have 5 operational turntables and several humdred LPs many pressed within the last two years. CDs however are dying. Digital may be the eventual way to go but IMO it still has not convinced me to keep my music library on someone elses cloud.
