Troubleshooting
Turntable Not Spinning
•
Turn the speed selection knob to 33 or 45 (power LED should light up). Lift the tonearm
over the platter and it should start spinning.
•
The turntable should be connected to a known good power outlet and the power cable
should be securely inserted into the unit.
•
Ensure the rubber belt is intact and hooked around the platter and the motor pulley.
No Power
•
The turntable should be connected to a known good power outlet and the power
cable should be securely inserted into the unit.
•
The power LED should light up when the speed selection knob is set to 33 or 45.
Wrong Speed
•
Check the record label for the correct playback speed and that the speed selection knob is
set to match it. Normal LP playback speed is 33 1/3 RPM, but some play at 45 RPM.
Skipping
•
Ensure the record surface is clear of dirt and debris. Also check that the record is not
warped or deformed.
•
Inspect the stylus tip for built up dirt or debris. Use a stylus cleaning brush to clean if
necessary.
•
Ensure the turntable is on a sturdy and level surface and properly leveled using the
adjustable feet.
•
Use the instructions in step four of the first time setup instructions to confirm the tonearm
was balanced correctly and set to the correct tracking force for the included cartridge.
•
Check that the anti-skating control is set to match the tracking force.
Audio Feedback
•
If audio feedback occurs ensure the speakers are positioned away from the turntable.
The turntable should not be placed in front of the speakers or on the same surface as
the speakers.
•
For best audio performance the dust cover should be removed during playback.
•
Playback at excessive volume can cause feedback. If feedback is occurring decrease
volume or lower bass levels.
•
If using an external preamp with a rumble filter, turn it on to reduce resonance feedback.
