Turntable does not operate
1. Make certain the turntable’s AC cord is plugged into an AC
outlet, and that the AC outlet is “live.”
2. Check the drive belt to make certain it is on correctly. (See
Figure 11.)
A) Remove the record mat from the turntable platter (Fig.
11a). Place the mat in the cardboard packaging sleeve for
safekeeping. Through an opening in the turntable platter,
visually inspect to see if the drive belt is around the motor
pulley (Fig. 11b).
B) If the drive belt is not around the motor pulley: Lift and
remove the turntable. Place a thumb into each of the left and
right openings on the turntable platter; and, using the fingers
to press down on the turntable housing’s surface, pull the
platter straight up (Fig. 11c). Avoid pressing on the tone arm.
C) With the turntable platter bottom side up, place the belt
along the outside wall of the turntable platter’s drive rim,
making certain that the belt is smooth and flat all the way
around (Fig. 11d).
D) Put the turntable back on the center spindle, make certain
it is fully seated, and align one of its openings over the motor
pulley position.
E) Through the opening, carefully hook the turntable belt with
a finger or with the original red ribbon (never use a sharp
object) and pull the belt over the motor pulley (Fig. 11e). Make
certain the belt is not twisted between the pulley and the
platter’s drive rim.
F) Put the record mat back on the platter.
G) While holding the tone arm in its rest position, slowly turn
the platter by hand clockwise at least 10 rotations to clear the
mechanism’s automatic cycle.
Turntable operates, but no sound at all
1. The stylus guard is still in place.
2. The tone arm Lift button is pressed in.
3. Amplifier controls set incorrectly: wrong input selected, tape
monitor on, speakers switched off, etc.
4. Check the stylus on phono cartridge for correct placement.
Refer to the instructions for replacing the stylus on page 6.
Turntable operates, but no sound, or sound not loud enough
1. If the turntable is connected to an AUX (high-level) input: The
Pre-amp Selector Switch may be set to the “PHONO” position
(phono-input level).
2. The input gain of the amplified speaker or similar device may
be too low.
3. The stylus assembly may not be fully seated in the cartridge
body. (See Fig. 10 on page 6.)
Sound is very distorted
1. Turntable connected to an amplifier’s PHONO input: If the
pre-amp switch is set to the “LINE” position (AUX high-level
output), a phono input will be overloaded.
Record/tone arm moves slightly up and down
1. Usually this is a normal condition and not a problem. If this
causes the turntable to be unable to track the record, please
contact your dealer or our service department. Make very
certain the surface upon which the turntable is resting is
not picking up vibrations from the floor or walls, or from
direct speaker sound.
