I thought every record player would automatically play a record when you start the player. This was a feature of the record player we had. I never thought any player would require a person to manually put the needle on the record. (Yes I remember records, even though I was born in 1977.)
I hate to admit it, but I was scared of the record player we had. It clicked whenever someone started to play a record and the sound frightened me. (By design, it was supposed to click.)
