• Check that the turntable is connected to a suitable input on the connected amplifying device and that the connections are secure.
• If using an Auxiliary input or Line input, ensure that the pre-amp switch on the back of the turntable is set to On.
• Check that the volume on the amplifying device is set appropriately.

• Yes.Setthepre-ampswitchontherearoftheturntabletooff.IftheexternalpreamplierhasaMovingMagnetorMovingCoiloption(this
may be marked as MM or MC) ensure that the Moving Magnet option is selected.
4. Why does the turntable not always switch off at the end of a record?
• Check that the Auto-Stop switch on the back of the turntable is set to the On position.
• The operation of the Auto Stop function is dependent on the location of the run-out groove at the end of the record. Even if the turntable does
switch off, you should return the tone-arm to its support after playing a record. Failure to switch off after playing some records is not a fault of
the unit.
