Why isn't the turntable turning when arm is already placed on record?

If it's not turning and the blue light is on your turntable might be broken. Every time I put the arm on the record or just take it off the clip the record begins to spin.

No....you can place only one record on the turntable...play it.....remove and add another....

I have had my turntables for three years now and no issues did you go through the whole Zero Tone balance set proper weight if not try to see id anti skate works! If the tonearm is balanced you should be able to turn the anti skate and the tone arm moves while the arm is floating! I hope that helps!

Does the CD tray respond? Does it open when it is supposed to? If you move the tone arm off it's rest post does the turntable begin to turn? If so the unit is powered up. Is the source selection knob not working? I hope you have better luck than I did with the unit I bought, I was profoundly disappointed with mine. The 2-watts per channel audio output was a huge disappointment. You won't get any "thumping" bass our of this unit. It doesn't distort, but has the sound of a 50's vintage table radio.Good Luck

The arm is automatic. You don't want to force it into any position. Try resetting it by unplugging it from the door. Just shutting it off doesn't force a reset.

An old trick I learned when I was a kid was to put a penny on top of the head of the tone arm, the little bit of extra weight keeps the needle in the groove. If it happens with every record that might fix it, if one penny helps but doesn't stop the skipping add another. I wouldn't put more than 3 pennies on it though. I hope that works.

You're actually looking for the tone arm itself to be level when lowered onto a record. If the tone arm is level, the cart should be at the right angle.

The turntable is beneath the stand so the entire unit pivots as a whole. Hope that answers your question.

The turntable did not come with any such 'adjustment'. However, in school, we wrap a tightly wound piece of plastic wrap (scrunched into a piece of 'string' sort of) around the spot where the top inserts into the base, and it holds the turntable in place fairly well.

Yes, Jarred I have had the same problem. I'm listening to a song and detecting minor fluctuations in the pitch of the music. Strange because the strobe indicates that the platter is rotating at a consistent speed, but there is no denying the fluctuations. Maybe the record is sliding around a bit and not making firm contact with the turntable? Not sure. Anyway it's getting annoying and I'm starting to think we got a lemon. Will be persuing this with Pyle.

Maybe you need some sort of pre amp for the turntable for it to run on your receiver, Shure used to make one but I haven't seen one in quite a while. Do you have access to any other receiver to see if it works ok...it may just be faulty. Without getting my hands on it is hard to say just what the issue is.

If I'm using the arm correctly, you set it on the record to begin with, but if you have first clicked it to the right, then it will remove from the finished record automatically and rest back at the side.

I checked the bottom of the turntable, and I would say yes. As long as the bottom section was stable. It is the top portion that turns. Hope that helps.

My guess would be that either the line is close to or running along with a power cord, or you need to ground the turntable. Or if you had to get a small turntable amplifier like I did, ground that. Good luck!

If your turntable has an internal pre-amp, the problem is probably with that piece of your equipment. If it doesn't have an in internal amp, this product should help. Most older turntables do not have built-in pre-amps. I'm assuming you have your turntable connected to an external amp. If it is a stand-alone (speakers in the phonograph) machine, this will not help.

No, I don't think so. The arm doesn't have any mechanical attachments, if that makes sense. It won't automatically go on the record or off. It's only done manually.

This happened to me once before but it wasn't a problem with the tone arm. I tried to play different records to isolate the problem and it turned out that my vinyl record was defective. There was no visible scratch on the LP so I didn't initially think there was an issue on the music. You may want to check your vinyl or look under the needle to see if some lint has accumulated there.
