AT ATLP120usb turntable distorted sound? - Audio Technica ATLP120USB Turntable

I didn't know that a turntable had bass control on it. If it has why not turn the bass down? I think it is your receiver not the turntable

RCA LEAD IS DAMAGED, CHANGE IT.

Check that the cartridge is fitted properly.

reverse the phono cables to see if the other side goes out if it does you could have a bad cable or the wire is off at the catridge.

Hi, the transformer that supplies power to the motor has been fried by the 220v input and will need to be replaced. If you remove it and go to your local electronic parts supplier they should be able to sell you a replacement. Cheers John styluscity.com

Just turn up the weight on the arm slowly bit by bit till the problem stops. The weight should have numbers on it - set it at 2 and increase it. You will have to stop the record playing each time you increase the weight. Also look around to see if it has an Anti-skate control, if it has again increase that in stages. It's all down to trial and error setting up a turntable, there's no correct way and it depends also on the records too and quality of them.

This turntable has a preamp switch on it, which is probably on and what is causing the distortion. Take off the metal record platter by lifting up on the two holes gently. Turn the pre-amp switch to 'off' and then try it again. This is probably it...

Or you can plug it into an input that doesn't have a preamp and that should work.

Your query incomplete. Please resumit.

Your turntable is a preamp. Your amplifier might be going bad. did you connect it into phono? dont connect it into the cd or dvd input because those wont work.

Do you have the unit in Turntable mode? Can you describe the distorted sound? Is it a hum, sound cuts in/out, scratchy sound? There have been alot of issues which plagued this unit. We get at least 1-2 a week in here for various issues. Although, I've never had one with distorted sound, that wasn't caused by something else (bad RCA cables, faulty mixer line, etc).

So make sure it is the unit. If so, you will need to take this in to a qualified service center for repair as determining the issue requires the tech run some test on the unit.
