Clean the record
Clearaudio offers many helpful accessories
for care and cleaning. In the event of damage,
we recommend an assessment by a specialist
and, if necessary, an exchange.
Adjust the tracking force.
Use a record clamp or replace the record.
Check the position of the drive belt.
Check the connection.
Select a speed and start the turntable.
Check the position of the drive belt.
Is it too loose and needs to be changed?
Check all connections; reduce the level on the
(pre-)amplifier to a low volume for acoustic
checking of gross errors.
It can be helpful for conductivity to connect
the metal parts of the turntable to the ground
of the (phono) preamplifier. The turntable
provides a grounding terminal for this purpose.
Use a sufficiently thick wire to establish the
ground connection.
Check the pin assignment of the pickup.
Check the record for recommended speed.
There are also records in LP format (30 cm)
that have to be played at 45 rpm ("maxi
singles") and small records in single format
(17 cm) that have to be played at 33 rpm (so-
called " EP's").
Adjust the speed according to the operating
instructions.
