The needle skips when I perform scratching.

Possible reasons could be as follows.
1. The tone arm and cartridge are not connected correctly.
　- Refer to the Operating Instructions for information on how to connect.
2. The tone arm and needle pressure are not adjusted correctly.
　- Refer to the adjustment methods detailed in the Operating Instructions, and adjust the settings so that they are appropriate to the needle being used.
3. The record is dirty, scratched, or worn.
　- Clean records with a dedicated cleaner, and use records that are in good condition as much as possible.
4. The tip of the needle is worn or broken.
　- Replace the needle with a new one.
5. The product is inclined.
　- To the extent possible, use the product in a horizontal location where it is not affected by external vibrations.
　　Additionally, the insulators can be turned to make minor adjustments to move the unit to the horizontal.
