  If your Sherwood Turntable produces no sound, ensure the phono cables are securely connected to the PHONO input jacks on the amplifier. Also, check that the headshell is firmly secured with the tonearm locking collar and that the cartridge lead wires are properly attached inside the headshell. Verify that your amplifier is correctly set up by checking the function switch, tape monitor switch, and speaker switches, referring to your amplifier's operating instructions.
