Frequently Asked Questions - TN4Dse TEAC

How to adjust the tonearm tracking force?
First balance the tonearm horizontally by turning the counterweight, then turn the tracking force adjustment ring to align 0 on the scale. Then turn the counterweight so that the scale matches the specified tracking force (e.g., 2.3 g for the supplied cartridge).
What to do if the turntable does not spin?
Check that the AC adapter is plugged in and that the STANDBY/ON button is pressed to turn on the unit. Also ensure the speed selector is set to 33 or 45 rpm.
How to connect the turntable to an amplifier?
Use the supplied RCA audio cable. If connecting to a line input, set the PHONO EQ switch to ON. If connecting to a phono input, set it to THRU.
Why does the sound skip?
Skipping can be caused by vibrations: place the turntable on a stable surface. Clean the record and check that the tracking force is correct. If necessary, rebalance the tonearm and adjust the anti-skating.
How to change the cartridge?
Disconnect the wires from the cartridge holder, loosen the screws, and remove the old cartridge. Install the new cartridge respecting the connections (white: left channel +, blue: left -, red: right +, green: right -). Then balance the tonearm and adjust the tracking force.
What is the lifespan of the stylus?
The stylus should be replaced after about 300 hours of use. Use a replacement Sumiko Oyster stylus.
How to clean the record and stylus?
Use a commercial record cleaner following the grooves. For the stylus, use a special stylus cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals like thinner.
Can I use an MC cartridge?
The built-in preamp is designed for MM cartridges. For an MC cartridge, set the PHONO EQ selector to THRU and connect the turntable to a phono preamp or MC-compatible amplifier.
How to open and close the dust cover?
To open, gently lift the front edge until it stops. To close, lower it gently. Do not place anything on the cover during playback to avoid vibrations.
What to do in case of hum (buzz)?
Connect the ground wire of the audio cable to the ground terminal of the turntable and amplifier. If the noise persists, try disconnecting the ground wire. Keep the turntable away from sources of electromagnetic interference.

The platter rotation speed is not right.

→Confirm that the rotation speed scaling knob is set to 33 and then it rotates about 100 times in 3 minutes.

The tonearm does not go down even when the tonearm lifter lever is lowered.

→Balance the tonearm and readjust the tracking force (page 12).

Sound is odd or breaks up.

→Check the connectors connected to the amplifier, and set the PHONO FQ (audio output) setting switch (page 13).

The pitch is wrong.

→Select the rotation speed indicated on the record (page 14).

There is no sound.

When connecting this unit's energy audio output connectors to the audio input connectors of an amplifier or other equipment, set the PIONO EQ (audio output setting) switch to ON (page 13).

Playback is not possible; there is noise.

Remove the protective cap from the cartridge style as before using the sumtable.
→Reconnect RCA audio cables.
→Fingerprints and dust on a record can cause noise and the sound to skip. Use a commercially-available record cleaner to clean records (page 11).
→Clean the stylus (page 15)

If the stylus is worn-out, replace it (page 15). The need for stylus replacement depends on use conditions, but we recommend replacement after about 300 hours of use.
