20 Most Recent Gemini PT-1000 II Turntable - Page 3 Questions & Answers

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!

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
