TROUBLESHOOTING
Crosley turntables are manufactured to the highest standards and undergo strict quality controls before leaving the
factory. Faults that may possibly occur are not necessarily due to material or production faults but can sometimes be
caused by incorrect use or unfortunate circumstances. Therefore the following list of common fault symptoms is included.

- No power at the outlet.
- Drive belt is not installed or has slipped off.
No signal through one or other channel or both channels:
- Correct input not selected at amplifier.
- Amplifier not switched on.
- Amplifier or speakers muted.
- No connection to the speakers.
- No connection between turntable and amplifier.
- Wire leads not connected the cartridge.
Strong hum on phono input:
- No ground connection from cartridge, arm, or arm cable to amplifier or ground loop.
- Turntable too close to speakers.
Distorted or inconsistent sound from one or both channels:
- Turntable is connected to wrong input of amplifier.
- Needle or cantilever damaged.
- Drive belt overstretched or dirty.
- Platter bearing without oil, dirty or damaged.
- Dust on stylus.
