Clean the record / or the cartridge. 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 alignment of the turntable and adjust
if necessary.
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.
