Troubleshooting

Turntable not playing sound

Ensure speakers are correctly connected to the turntable and that the volume is turned up. Check if the tonearm is properly lowered onto the record and that the correct input source (e.g., Phono, Bluetooth) is selected if applicable.

Bluetooth connection not working

Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your smart device and the turntable is in Bluetooth pairing mode. Try moving the devices closer together and restarting both the turntable and your smart device. Check the Bluetooth version compatibility.

Skipping or jumping during playback

Ensure the turntable is on a level surface. Check that the stylus is clean and not damaged. Verify the tracking force is correctly set (if adjustable on your model) and that the tonearm is balanced.

Sound distortion or low volume

Clean the stylus and check your records for dirt or damage. If using external speakers via RCA, ensure they are properly connected and powered. If using the included speakers, verify they are not overdriven and that the source volume is appropriate.
