If my turntable is not turning, how do I get it to turn?
Make sure the power is turned on and the unit's function selection is set on PHONO and then gently move the tone arm to the right until you hear a "click". Remove any cassettes that might be in the cassette player. Lift the tone arm and carry it over to the beginning of the record.

Why will my tone arm not return?
The tone arm will need to be reset. Lift the tone arm and return it to its rest, then lift the tone arm and carry it over to the spindle. Allow the tone arm to auto return from your hand. This should reset the tone arm. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you will need to return the unit to the retailer of purchase or send it to Crosley Radio.

Why does the record start in the wrong spot?
Make sure you have the correct size of 7, 10, or 12 selected for your speed.

The record is playing, but I get no sound.
Make sure to remove the white protective needle cover from the end of the tone arm. Make sure the plastic needle was not removed when the protective cover was taken off. Adjust the volume to a higher level.

Why does the needle slide across the record?
Make sure to remove the white protective needle cover from the end of the tone arm. Make sure the red or white plastic needle was not removed when the protective cover was taken off.

I lost my power adapter, what is the correct voltage?
12v .5 amps or 12volts 500 milli amps

Why does the turntable turn too slow or too fast?
Make sure you have the correct speed selected for the record you are playing. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you will need to return the unit to the retailer of purchase or contact Crosley Radio at 1-866-CROSLEY for assistance.

It sounds like only one speaker is working. How do I make them both work?
Call Crosley Radio at 1-866-CROSLEY for assistance.

Why won't the plug fit into my wall?
Make sure the plug safety cover is removed. Crosley units use a standard Polarized safety plug that has one blade wider than the other. If your outlet does not take this type of plug, you may need to look into a possible converter or contact Crosley Radio at 1-866-CROSLEY for assistance.

The tone arm seems stuck, how do I get it to move?
Call Crosley Radio at 1-866-CROSLEY for assistance.

Why do I hear a buzzing/humming sound on the CD's that have been recorded from my unit?
Before recording, make sure your record is completely clean and free of dust. Dirt and dust can cause inaudible sounds to become audible during recording.

Why does my unit say FORBID or FAIL when I'm trying to Finalize my recorded CD?
Please be advised the typical blank CD disc has between 75-80 min of recording space. If you exceed the available space on the disc, the unit will stop and finalize itself. If this occurs, then you will receive the FAIL/FORBID message. You can verify if the disc has been finalized by removing the disc from the CD recorder and by playing it another CD player. If the disc plays back in the new test CD player, then the unit has been finalized. If this doesn't resolve the issue, please Call Crosley Radio at 1-866-CROSLEY for assistance.
