When turning does the turntable stop and start?

When a turntable is turning, it typically continues to spin without stopping during a turn. However, if the turntable is designed for manual operation, the user may need to stop it briefly to change the record or adjust settings. In automatic models, the turntable may pause momentarily during specific functions, such as returning the tonearm to its resting position. Overall, continuous rotation is essential for playback.
