I got a new turntable and am having problems with playing a new record. I have everything set up right, but it skips. Is the turntable defective?

Mine is doing the same thing! I put in a message to Crosley support but I may just return it. It skips on the last song of every record.

Yeah it sounds defective. I would suggest calling Amazon to see if you can get an exchange.

I bought it for my son and it works great. It could be the record....have you tried several records. If so then I guess there is something wrong because his works perfect.

I was unable to listen to a record due to a skipping turntable arm. However, when I listened to the radio the speakers sounded a little thin.

RETURN IT!! This was gift for my 80 yr old father, and we had no shipping damage, no issues playing LP's or 45's or connecting to my dad's main system. With LP's there is slit in the back of the cabinet so the LP's could spin, but I will go over to Dad's this weekend and take a look.

Hello Susan I purchased this turntable two years ago using Windows 7 no problems I believe you have a faulty unit. Also, I purchased `Spin Again' software for downloading lps. Very easy more user friendly than audacity

Hey, I am buying speakers for a friend who has the same turntable - did you ever find a good solution / speakers? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am more than pleased with my turntable. The only thing I wish I had thought about when ordering a turntable was an automatic arm that would lift and go back once the record was completely played. I have had no skipping at all. The radio plays great and the sound is also great. I ordered it because I purchased a scrapbook looking thing at a little shop and it had very old records in it. Great sound from those.

It's probably the recording you're listening to. Try a different track and/or player

Hi Liz I returned 2 of them. The first one the cd did not work then the next nothing worked. Im sorry to tell you but you do need to return it. Also if you use the recordplayer and it has the scratches and on the cd it will sound just like that. It sounds tinny. So Sorry to tell you this but i had no luck with it. 2sassyjay@comcast.net

Hello, in fortunatly the unit that I ordered from amazon never powered on when I got it. I contacted for a return but never heard back. I don't think it has a turntable as most commercial units don't.

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.

I purchased this turntable and am having nothing but issues trying to get it to just play, I have Windows Vista, a brand new HP with the dual chips? Did you have similar issues? Were you able to get anything resolved? Thank you It plays for a short time then Pyro says Audio Stopped? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

I only play old vinyl records on mine. It works beautifully with a few added modern hook ups being the main difference between old player and new one.

For me, the record stops in the dead zone, but the needle does not lift. So the needle just sits on the record until removed (but w/o record spinning).

I wish I could help, but I haven't had the problem. Stay after Ion until they offer a valid solution to your problem or replace the turntable. One thing you could do is make sure the turntable is level. Hope this 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

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!

It may be the record itself perhaps? Is the player level? My unit works beautifully 2 yrs now!
