Troubleshooting 

No signal through one or both channels: 

 

No signal contact from the cartridge to the internal tonearm wiring; or from that to the arm lead; or 

from that to the phono box; or between that and the amplifier. This could be due to a faulty plug, 

broken wire or loose solder joint in the plug/socket connection. 

 

Phono input not selected at amplifier. 

 

Amplifier not switched on. 

 

Amplifier or speakers are defective or muted. 

 

No connection to the loudspeakers. 

Strong hum on phono input: 

 

No ground connection from cartridge or arm or arm cable to amplifier, or ground loop. 

Distorted or inconsistent sound from one or both channels: 

 

Tonearm output is connected to wrong input of amplifier, or MM/MC switch is incorrectly set. 

Needle or cantilever damaged.
