    What to do if the stylus skips on my Audio Technica Turntable?
    • J
      Justin JohnsonAug 13, 2025
      If you're experiencing stylus skipping on your Audio Technica Turntable, it might be due to a tracking force that's either too light or too heavy. Try adjusting the tracking force. Also, verify that the anti-skate is set to the same value as the cartridge tracking force. Another reason for skipping may be a problem with the record itself, so check the record.

      Gregory HoffmanAug 27, 2025
      If you are experiencing no sound or low volume from your Audio Technica Turntable, first, check if the cartridge’s protector is still in place and remove it. Ensure the tonearm is lowered from the lift position. Verify that the settings for the connected equipment are correct. Inspect the stylus, replacing it if needed, and check the cartridge, adjusting if necessary. Finally, if the tracking force is set too heavy, adjust it accordingly.

      If you're experiencing howling with your Audio Technica Turntable, it could be picking up excessive vibrations from the floor, walls, or nearby speakers. Try to decrease the vibrations or mount the product on a surface that isn't subject to vibrations. Also, make sure the surface the product is mounted on is stable.

    Why are the strobe dots difficult to see on my Audio Technica AT-LP140XP Turntable?
    • T
      Thomas LevySep 8, 2025
      If you're having trouble seeing the strobe dots or the stylus illuminator is very dim on your Audio Technica Turntable, it might be due to excessively bright or fluorescent light interfering with the strobe indicator. Try shielding the strobe indicator from bright light using your hand or a record jacket.
