Before Asking for Repair Services

While the unit is used, an unusual phenomenon may be confused as a malfunction for a certain reason. Prior to asking our official 
sole distributor of your country for repair services, please check the table below and read the operating instructions for the subsidiary 
devices. If the cause of the malfunction cannot be identified, please contact your dealer. When we have once accepted your request 
for repair services, inspection fees and traveling expenses may be claimed even though the unit is found to be normal.

• The ground side of the pin-plug cable has 

no contact with the terminal.

• Make connections securely so that the 

ground side of the pin-plug cable makes

• The ground wire of the record player is not 

connected.

• Connect the ground wire of the record play-

er to the SIGNAL GND terminal.

• Connections or mounting conditions are in-
