The Victrola VPT-800 is a fully automatic belt driven turntable, has an intuitive control layout, and is designed to make it easier than ever to listen to vinyl; just place your favorite vinyl on the platter, press play, and off you go. The VPT-800 is finished in black and includes a removable dust cover designed to keep your records safe and dust-free.
The turntable comes with a factory setup Audio Technica AT-3600LA moving magnet (MM) cartridge with a 0.6mm conical stylus, so is plug-and-play ready. It even has a novel repeat function that just keeps on playing the same record from start to finish.
