Frequently asked questions
1. Why is the sound very distorted when playing a record?
• Check that the turntable is connected to a suitable input on the connected device.
• Check whether you have connected the turntable to a phono input on your amplifier. If so, ensure that the pre-amp switch on the turntable is
set to Off.
• Check the tracking force and anti-skating adjustment (see page 6).
• Check there is no dust or dirt accumulating on the stylus. If so, carefully clean the stylus using a proper stylus cleaning brush or try to blow the
dust off the stylus. (Do not use your fingers.)
2. Why is the sound very quiet when playing a record?
• Check that the turntable is connected to a suitable input on the connected amplifying device and that the connections are secure.
• If using an Auxiliary input or Line input, ensure that the pre-amp switch on the back of the turntable is set to On.
• Check that the volume on the amplifying device is set appropriately.
3. Can I use an external preamplifier rather than the one built into the turntable?
• Yes. Set the pre-amp switch on the rear of the turntable to off. If the external preamplifier has a Moving Magnet or Moving Coil option (this
may be marked as MM or MC) ensure that the Moving Magnet option is selected.
4. Why does the turntable not always switch off at the end of a record?
• Check that the Auto-Stop switch on the back of the turntable is set to the On position.
• The operation of the Auto Stop function is dependent on the location of the run-out groove at the end of the record. Even if the turntable does
switch off, you should return the tone-arm to its support after playing a record. Failure to switch off after playing some records is not a fault of
the unit.
