Ensure the record is clean and the stylus is free from dust or debris. Check that the record is placed flat on the platter and the speed setting is correct. If issues persist, gently clean the stylus with a proper brush.
Troubleshooting
No sound from the built-in speakers
Ensure the turntable is powered on and the volume knob is turned up. Verify the stylus is properly seated on the record's groove and not lifted.
Record skipping or repeating sections
First, ensure the record is clean and free of dust or debris. Check that the turntable is placed on a perfectly flat and stable surface. Gently inspect the stylus for any visible dirt or damage.
Record is playing too fast or too slow
Confirm that the speed selector switch (33 1/3, 45, or 78 RPM) matches the correct playback speed required by your record. Incorrect speed selection is a common cause.
Turntable platter is not spinning
Check that the turntable is correctly plugged into a working power outlet and that the power switch is in the 'On' position. Also, ensure no foreign objects are obstructing the platter's movement.
