Troubleshooting
The platter doesn’t turn although the unit is switched on:
•
The unit is not connected to the mains power supply (the building’s electrical system).
•
No mains power is being delivered at the socket.
•
The drive belt is not fitted properly or has slipped off.
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:
•
Turntable is connected to wrong input of amplifier, or MM/MC switch is incorrectly set. Needle or
cantilever damaged. Wrong rpm; drive belt overstretched or dirty; platter bearing needs lubrication
or is dirty or damaged.
