The stylus skips when playing records. Why?

The possible causes are as follows:

1. The cartridge isn't attached to the headshell properly, and/or the headshell isn't properly connected to the tone arm.

　-See the Instruction Manual > [Setup] > [Playing using the stylus].

2. The tone arm balance and/or stylus pressure aren't set correctly.

　-See the adjustment methods in the Instruction Manual > [Setup] > [Playing using the stylus].

Note: When using a cartridge weighing 9.5 g or less, the sub weight isn't needed.

3. The record is dirty, damaged, or worn.

　-Either clean the record with an appropriate cleaner or use a record in better condition.

4. The stylus tip is worn away or broken.

　-Replace the stylus with a new one.

5. The main unit is tilted.

　-Place the unit on a level surface that's free of external vibrations. Turn the insulator to finely adjust the level.

6．The Magvel Clamp is set to [LIGHT]

-Remove the Magvel Clamp or turn it clockwise ([HEAVY] side) to a position where the stylus doesn't skip.

For details, see the Instruction Manual > [Setup] > [Installation].
