I think this is a poor design feature.

Great sound, solid design

This is simply a good product, well-designed with the features anyone would want for casual listening to vinyl in 2012, emphasis on automatic no-brainer usage

This is very well designed to have all we need for enjoying music these days

Very sleek and slim design

Very easy to hook up, and very smart looking design

The product is excellent, well-made, simplistic design, and sound quality superb when connected

Good sound quality and nice design

Smooth sounding and sleek design

They're not expensive or anything, but it is (I think) very poor design to need to do that.2

Very straightforward design and easy to assemble and get going out of the box

The turntable is very good, however the software that accompanies it is very difficult and edgy, designed by s geek for geeks, and not regular humans.

How cool is that!I love the design to place the START/STOP and the UP/DOWN buttons on the front, OUTSIDE the lid

The product is well made and has a sleek - clean and elegant design

Initial impressions upon the first day I do like the simple clean design

Nice design, simple controls easy to use and didn't need a phono preamp

Very clean design, wonderful sound e very sharp during the operation

I like the sleek design and my old records sound great on this turntable.

Good s***.

It is a great player for a beginner, but (possible) inability to play 180g LPs is a huge drawback
