Troubleshooting - Teac GF-350 Manuel Du Propriétaire

If you experience any problems with the unit, please take a
moment to look through this chart and see if you can solve the
problem yourself before you call your dealer or a TEAC service
center.
No power
e Check the connection to the AC power source. Check and
make sure the AC source is not a switched outlet and if it is,
the switch is turned on. Make sure there is power to the AC
outlet by plugging another item such as a lamp or fan.
No sound.

The sound is noisy.
e The unit is too close to a TV set or similar appliances.

appliances off.

Troubleshooting

Turntable
Will not play.
e Loosen the transportation screw, and slide the stylus guard
up.
(The stylus guard is a grayish smoke plastic cover that
protects the stylus during transportation. Failing to remove
this guard will not allow the needle to contact the groove of
the record and no sound will be heard!)
e If the stylus is worn-out, change the stylus.
e Select the correct playback speed.
Sound skips.
e Place the unit on a stable surface to avoid vibration and
shock. Make sure the unit is level both front to back and
side to side.
e Clean the surface of the record/disc.
e Don't use scratched, damaged or warped records/discs.
If normal operation cannot be obtained, unplug the power
cord from the outlet and plug it again.
Beware of condensation
When the unit (or a record/disc) is moved from a cold to a
warm place, or used after a sudden temperature change,
there is the danger of condensation; vapor in the air could
condense on the internal mechanism, making correct
operation erratic or impossible. To prevent this, or if this
occurs, leave the unit for one or two hours with the power
turned on. The unit will stabilize at the temperature of its
surroundings.
Maintenance
Always keep the turntable clean.
If the surface of the unit gets dirty, wipe with a soft cloth or
use a diluted mild liquid soap. Be sure to remove any excess
liquid completely. Do not use thinner, benzine or alcohol as
they may damage the surface of the unit. Allow the surface
of the unit to dry completely before using.
