Troubleshooting

Playback is not possible; there is noise.
e Raise the protector (page 9).
e Clean the stylus (page 4).
e If the stylus is worn-out, replace it (page 4). The lifes-
pan of a needle depends on the use conditions, but it is
usually about 300 hours.
e Place the unit as far away as possible from TVs,
microwave ovens and other devices that emit electro-
magnetic waves.
Noise occurs when a record is playing
e Noise could occur if the stylus pressure is higher than
cartridge's specified value. Readjust the stylus pressure
so that it is the specified value (page 5).
The pitch is wrong.
e Set the rotation speed (RPM) to match the record (page
9).
The sound is skipping.
e Vibrations will cause skipping. Place this unit in a stable
location.
e If the record is dirty, wipe it clean.
e Do not use scratched records.
e Balance the tone arm and readjust the stylus pressure
(page 5).
If the stylus pressure is lower than the value designated
by the cartridge, skipping is more likely to occur.
