Potential incorrect use and fault conditions
Pro-Ject Audio Systems turntables are manufactured to the highest standards and undergo strict
quality controls before leaving the factory. Faults that may possibly occur are not necessarily due to
material or production faults but can sometimes be caused by incorrect use or unfortunate
circumstances. Therefore the following list of common fault symptoms is included.
The platter does not turn although the unit is switched on:
•
The unit is not connected to the mains power supply.
•
No mains at the socket.
•
Drive belt is not fitted or has slipped off.
No signal through one or other channel 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 solder joint or simply loose plug/socket connection.
•
Phono input not selected at amplifier.
•
Amplifier not switched on.
•
Amplifier or speakers defective or muted.
•
No connection to the loudspeakers.
Strong hum on phono input:
•
No earth connection from cartridge or arm or arm cable to amplifier, or earth loop.
Distorted or inconsistent sound from one or both channels:
•
Record player is connected to wrong input of amplifier, or MM/MC switch incorrectly set.
•
Needle or cantilever damaged.
•
Wrong r.p.m., drive belt overstretched or dirty, platter bearing without oil, dirty or damaged.
