TROUbLE ShOOTINGTrouble Shooting: Listed below are common problems you may encounter, and solutions.
The turntable has no power:
1. Check the power cord, is it connected?
The sound is distorted or on one side only:
1. Make sure that the cartridge is properly wired. Refer to the Cartridge Assembly section on page 9.
2. Check if the stylus is worn out.
3. Make sure that the cartridge is making a proper connection. If need be, remove the cartridge and
clean the contacts on the back with Isopropyl alcohol, and reinsert it.
4. Check if the selector switch on the mixer is set to "Line" instead of "Phono." If so, switch
the selector switch to "Phono." Always connect the turntable RCA cord to the Phone input on a
mixer.
5. Check the RCA cables, are they connected properly? When the RCA cables are frequently
connected and disconnected, they may become damaged and need to be replaced.
The sound level is very low:
1. Is the turntable connected to a device with a PHONO preamp. Connect the turntable to a preamp
mixer that has a PHONO input. Make sure the turntable is connected to the PHONO input, NOT
AUX or LINE.
The turntable skips consistantly:
1. Is the turntable on a unstable surface. Refer to Turntable Installation on page 11.
2. Check if the tonearm is balanced properly. Refer to Tonearm Balance and Stylus Pressure on page
11.
3. Check if the stylus is worn out.
4. Check your records, are they warped?
