Questions and answers
Turntable won’t turn
The Retrolife R609 turntable may not turn for the following reasons:
1. Tonearm Not Reset: The tonearm might not be pushed back into its reset position. If it's not reset properly, the platter won’t spin. Move the tonearm toward the right until you hear a click.
2. Belt Issues: If the turntable uses a belt drive, the belt may be loose, out of place, or damaged. A loose or misplaced belt can be repositioned, but a damaged or crumbled belt must be replaced.
3. AUTOSTOP Switch: If the AUTOSTOP switch is ON and the tonearm is not in the correct position, the platter may not spin. Try turning the AUTOSTOP switch OFF and repositioning the tonearm.
4. Power Supply: Ensure the DC plug is firmly inserted into the DC IN jack and the power adapter is properly connected to a working outlet.
5. RPM Switch: The 33/45/78 RPM switch must be set correctly; otherwise, the platter may not function.
Check each of these components to identify and fix the issue.
