General Specifications
1. Amplifier (system) controls are set incorrectly: wrong input selected,
tape monitor on, speakers switched off, etc. Verify proper control
settings.
2. Stylus is broken or missing. Check the stylus assembly and replace if
necessary.
3. The stylus assembly may not be fully seated in the cartridge body. Check
the cartridge and adjust if necessary.
4. The pre-amplifier selector switch of the AT-LP5 is set in the wrong
position. Verify that it is set to the correct output to match amplifier
input.
- No sound/very weak sound: Phono Out setting into an Aux/Line input.
- Very loud/distorted sound: Line Out setting into a Phono input.
5. The tracking force is set too heavy (stylus assembly is bottoming out on
record). Set tracking force per cartridge manufacturer’s recommenda-
tion.
6. Turntable is picking up excessive vibrations from floor, walls, or nearby
speakers. Reduce vibrations or place turntable on sturdy/solid surface.
1. The stylus guard is still in place. Remove the stylus guard.
2. The tracking force is set too light. Set tracking force per cartridge
manufacturer’s recommendation.
3. The anti-skate control is set improperly. Verify anti-skate is set for
same value as cartridge tracking force.
• Do not touch the stylus tip with your fingers; avoid bumping the stylus
on the turntable mat or a record’s edge.
• Clean the stylus tip frequently, using a soft brush
and a back-to-front
motion
.
• If you use a stylus cleaning fluid, use it
sparingly
.
•
Never
apply harsh chemicals or solvents to any part of the turntable
system.
• Prior to moving the turntable, always unplug it from the AC outlet and
lock the tonearm on the tonearm rest
.
1. Turntable is set for wrong speed. Make proper speed selection for
