Troubleshooting
If you experience a problem with this unit, please check the fol-
lowing items before requesting service. Something other than
this unit could also be the cause of the problem. 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 outlet.
Then, press the STANDBY/ON button to turn the unit on
(pages 14 and 15).
There is no sound.
e
When connecting this unit's analog audio output con-
nectors to the audio input connectors of an amplifier
or other equipment, set the PHONO EQ (audio output
setting) switch to ON (page 14).
Playback is not possible; there is noise.
e
Raise the protector (page 15).
e
Fingerprints and dust on a record can cause noise and
the sound to skip. Use a commercially-available record
cleaner to clean records (page 11).
e
Clean the stylus (page 14).
e
If the stylus is worn-out, replace it (page 14). The lifespan
of a stylus depends on the use conditions, but it is usually
about 300 hours.
e
Place the unit as far away as possible from TVs, micro-
wave ovens and other devices that emit electromagnetic
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 12).
The pitch is wrong.
e
Select the rotation speed indicated on the record (page
15).
The sound is skipping.
e
Vibrations will cause skipping. Place this unit in a stable
location.
e
Clean the record.
e
Do not use scratched records.
e
Balance the tone arm and readjust the stylus pressure
(page 12). The stylus and sound might skip if the stylus
pressure is lower than the cartridge's specified value.
