Not sure...my daughter's works great! Make sure the needle bar is up. Good luck!

The only thing we can think of is the screw that locks the turntable for shipping. Be sure you loosen it. Ours is working great. Also the turntable will not start until you move the arm over.

First, of course, turn dial to phono, then lift stylus up and place it over record. It should start turning when you lift stylus up.

Its been a while since I got mine but there is a screw that locks the turntable in place to prevent damage in shipping.

Make sure the knob selector is switched to Phonograph. There is a plastic guard that has to be pulled back off of the arm/needle. The arm needs to be pulled over above the record and the first time I had to push the arm down until it reached the record.

Try plugging in to an open spot in the audio section. Is your "CD" section unused? Plug into the white and red RCA-type plugs. Just remember which section you use when you want to play your turntable! Good luck! No guarantees, Lol!

It could be your input cable from your music source. Try a different cable first before declaring the unit defective.

There are versions of this turntable with and without USB connections. Make sure that the description of the turntable you are purchasing mentions USB if that is what you need.

Hi Sally I connect my turntable to my stereo input and stereo goes to a sound jack in my computer. I think this is better than using the Alesis adptor.I tried one and sent it back.Try using your stereo and let me know, Doug in Carlsbad Ca.

I personally feel that the Audio Technica At-lp1240 is good replacement for this,http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-AT-LP1240-USB-Direct-Turntable/dp/B007R9B0UQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1414319354&sr;=8-1&keywords;=Audio+technica+at-lp1240 And its cheaper too.Tried it at the shops and it sounds pretty good,hope its helpful :)

Sounds like a loose connection, but I think more information is needed to diagnose the problem. Is there a troubleshooting guide in the owners manual? Does the tone arm return to the home position when it stops playing or does the turntable just stop?

May sound overly simple and you probsbly did these things.. but make sure u have the volume up on the controller. I have mistakenly turned it off or down and didn't realize it. Other than that make sure it's connected to the computer. If still not working you should contact manufacturer or amazon to rerurn. Hope you get it fixed. It's a great system.

Gary, I gave the turntable to someone as a Chrsitmas gift, so I'm sorry that I am unable to specifically answer your question. I recommend you contact the manufacturer's customer support department for more information regarding interfacing it to a Mac. I can report to you that the person I gave it to absolutely loved it, and has since moved out of state, so is not readily available to question about his experience. I can tell you that my own personal experience with Mac's is that their "plug and play" designs are excellent, requiring little or no user technical expertise.

Honestly I would just return the thing. You can get a turntable that actually works and puts out decent sound for a lower price. I sent mine back the day after it arrived because it sounded like a tin can.

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.

That sucks. This turntable worked for me for about 2 and half years and now the needle needs to be replaced but I cannot find the correct replacement anywhere. Also - it seems as if they do not have a website or any sort of customer service like you say. I took it in to Guitar Center and the guy told me to check out www.needledoctor.com but I haven't looked into it yet. Good luck!!

Looks like it needs Windows. See http://www.crutchfield.com/S-L7jBjg1mI7r/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?search=turntables&i;=057ATLP2DA, which gives more specifications than amazon does. The Audio-Technica AT-LP2D-USB is Mac-compatible--and also twice the price. So what else is new?

you probibly don't have it on the right selection switch and you need to manually bring the arm over to begin the 33 to turn.....if not perhaps the turntable band has slipped off

Since everyone is enjoying, go with an ELP laser turntable. Internet search for that and be amazed. Play your records like they ARE CD's. Wild!

My daughter doesn't have a problem with her turntable. She said turn up the volume. Good luck.

Yes that's exactly what it does. Just make sure you have another cable to run into the device from the turntable.
