Record player (en-US)
A record player is a turntable system used to play vinyl records. It typically includes a turntable platter, a tonearm with a cartridge and stylus (needle), and often built-in speakers or a connection to external speakers and an amplifier. When the stylus tracks the grooves in the record, it converts the physical groove patterns into sound.

Common types and terms
You may see “turntable” used interchangeably with “record player,” though “turntable” often refers to the hardware itself. Some record players are all-in-one (with built-in speakers), while others require separate speakers and amplification. Key parts you might hear about include the stylus (needle), cartridge, platter, and speed settings like 33⅓ and 45 RPM.

Basic care and safe use
To keep records and the stylus in good condition, handle records by the edges, avoid touching the grooves, and keep the stylus clean. Use the correct tracking force and keep the tonearm balanced according to the manufacturer’s instructions. If you notice skipping or distortion, check for dust on the record or stylus and consider professional inspection if issues persist.
