Troubleshooting
Before referring to the check list below, first verify that:
• The power cord is securely connected.
• The speaker cords are securely connected.
Should any problem persist after taking the specified
remedial actions, consult your nearest Sony dealer.
The tonearm skips, skates or fails to advance.
b The turntable is not level. Place the turntable on a
level surface.
b The tracking force is incorrect. Follow the
instructions on page 6 and set the tracking force to
the appropriate value for the cartridge being used.
(The supplied cartridge requires 4 grams of tracking
force.)
b The anti-skating adjustment is incorrect. Make sure
the ANTI-SKATING dial is set to the value indicated
on the tracking force ring (see page 6).
b The record is dirty or scratched.
Clean the record with a commercially available
record cleaning kit, or replace the record.
Poor sound quality, excessive noise, intermittent sound,
etc…
b Inspect the locking ring on the tonearm and verify
that the headshell is firmly secured (see page 4).
b Make sure the ground wire is connected to U
(ground) terminal on the mixer (see page 5).
b The tracking force is incorrect. Follow the
instructions on page 6 to set the tracking force to the
appropriate value for the cartridge being used. (The
supplied cartridge requires 4 grams of tracking force.)
b The stylus is dirty or worn. Remove dust on the
stylus with a stylus-cleaning brush, or replace the
worn stylus (see page 9).

Rumble or low-frequency howl*.
b The turntable is placed too close to speakers. Move
speakers away from the turntable.
* This phenomenon, called “acoustic feedback,” occurs
when vibrations from the speakers are transmitted
through the air or via solid objects (such as shelves, a
cabinet, or the floor) to the turntable where they are
picked up by the stylus, amplified and reproduced
through the speakers.
