Troubleshooting
If you experience a problem with this unit, please check
the following items before requesting service. Something
other than this unit could also be the cause of the prob-
lem. Please also check that the connected devices are also
being used properly.
If it still does not operate correctly, contact the retailer
where you purchased the unit.
No power.
e
Confirm that the AC adapter is plugged into an out-
let. Then, press the STANDBY/ON button to turn the
unit on (page 6).
There is no sound.
e
When connecting this unit's analog audio output
jacks to the audio input jacks of an amplifier or other
equipment, set the PHONO EQ (audio output set-
ting) switch to ON (page 6).
Playback is not possible; there is noise.
e
Confirm that the stylus cover (made of white plas-
tic) has been removed.
e
Clean the stylus (page 5).
e
If the stylus is worn-out, replace it (page 5).
e
Place the unit as far away as possible from TVs,
microwave ovens and other devices that emit elec-
tromagnetic waves.
Noise occurs when a record is playing
e
Noise could occur if the stylus pressure is higher
than cartridge's specified value. Readjust the stylus
pressure so that it is the specified value (page 5).
The pitch is wrong.
e
Set the rotation speed (RPM) to match the record
(page 8).
The sound is skipping.
e
Vibrations will cause skipping. Place this unit in a
stable location.
e
If the record is dirty, wipe it clean.
e
Do not use scratched records.
e
Balance the tone arm and readjust the stylus pres-
sure (page 5).
If the stylus pressure is lower than the value des-
ignated by the cartridge, skipping is more likely to
occur.
