It's shown in the manual.

Since it's Direct Drive there's no belt to fall off. There is an electronic brake.

Could your problem have something to do with the Reverse function? Check the L.E.D. Perhaps cycling it will help.


USING THE REVERSE BUTTON:
1. Press the REVERSE (17) button to reverse the rotation of the
PLATTER (2) (the REVERSE LED (17A) will light while in reverse
mode). Press the REVERSE BUTTON a second time to return to
normal play.

Clean Your Turntable with a microfibre cloth. Power off the turntable and unplug it for safety. Access the turntable's platter by lifting it off. Inspect the belt. If it's loose or damaged, consider replacing it. Amazon should have the belt replacements. If Your Record Player Spins Too Slow, Here's How to Fix It in 3 Steps - All For Turntables

It is strange that both won't open, something common to both, power supply to them? https://www.google.com/search?q=gemini+cdx+602+drawers+won%27t+open ..

measuring that voltage wont tell you a lot of information. You need to see signals in an audio circuit and those transistors could be MOSFET and or they cannot be tested while in circuit.

Much depends on the noise and where it is originating. The deck doesn't seem well thought of and it is unlikely the manufacturer has a spare parts service - unless you have the skills needed to locate and rectify the "noise", which could be electrical, electronic or mechanical, and otherwise restore the deck it would seem advisable to replace it.

Sorry we have no way to know were you are so how can we recommend a place to buy it?

It depends on what connections the laptop has. Most have an audio in socket. So you can use that. All you need is to find a audio out on the deck. I looked at an illustration and it has an headphone socket. So you could use that. Just keep the volume control low.

Well this website is showing the picture of it, but you will have to enquire if they are still selling it. It will just slide on and a screw will tighten it up. http://www.trusound.co.uk/P/409/Gemini+TWMT-3601604+Tonearm+Counterweight+ I can't find on the net anyone else selling parts for this model, still.

This is not an audiophile turntable. There is no provision for adjusting the vertical tracking angle. The closest you can come to making an adjustment is to place shims between the phono cartridge and the headshell.

Is the unit earthed ?

Is there something 'special' about them? Power cords are common. Take one to an electrical supply store, radio Shack or just look around the house for an unused one.

Look in your control panel on your computer and check the sound settings. For instance I have Sound Max on my PC and the imputs have to be set on to listen to different sound sources. Also there are level controls on it that can be set to zero.

Hi! Please open the volume control icon located on the lower right of the screen and check out the auxillary. Mostly they are muted so you will need to turn them on. Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa!

Hi,

It's depending on the brand you're using.
But for general you have to check your;
Battery
Frequenty of the handheld, same as reciever
Frequenty of the receiver, same as the handheld
Gain adjustment in the handheld.
Gain on the receiver.
Check on the receiver if there's any RX when you switch on the handheld.

Good luck,
Gerard

As far as I know, Gemini does not release schematics outside of their authorized service centers. If only one channel is out, you shouldbe able to A/B the two to find the problem components. If the side is completely blown, the most likely problem is the output transistors. Start with those and work back. If you need further details on the method, update this with any questions.

Hi there,

just read about your issue with the gemini's 02, have had the same ones since december 06, and have had the same problems as you, mainly my 'play' buttons that broke down into the machine.

The first time I had it repaird by the shop I bought them at, after that had several times where the paly button broke into the machine. What I do now is to open the player by unscrewing the screws and it 'tape' the button where it should be.

The tricky thing is that when opening the player, there's like a sound card on top of the buttons, so you need to get that tape in between the card and the button, I learned to do this with a tweaser;

Having said that, I will also tell you that I've had it with this gemini hassle and that I will move to pioneer soon;

Good luck!
O.

look for pre out on your gemini hook up phono cables to these then to any input on your reciever,eg cd, switch reciever to cd turn up and away you go
