A:AnswerCheck the belt routing. The belt comes preinstalled around the drive rim on the flipside of the aluminum record platter, but you have to finish installing it by placing it around the motor pulley after placing the platter on the spindle. Make certain that you are placing the belt around the brass-colored motor pulley after installing the platter. To check this, simply remove the black felt record mat from the turntable and rotate the aluminum record platter by hand until one of the large rectangular shaped openings in the platter is located in the upper left corner of the turntable (at about the 10 o’clock position). Look into the opening and locate the brass-colored motor pulley. Is the belt around this pulley and is the belt taught? The belt does not go around the white post located on the right side of the turntable (at about the 2 o’clock position).
A:AnswerWhen you get a turntable, you should also get a pair of active speakers (I recommend edifier if you don’t have a pair of speakers already)
Otherwise, you will not be able to properly listen to your record. Yes you may still hear the record faintly just from the needle, however there are no volume settings on the turntable themselves, unless you get an all in one turntable & speaker. All in all, if you want the best sound quality and the most traditional set up, you can’t go wrong with a pair of active speakers connected to the turntable via the included Left and Right output cables. Hope that answers your question.
A:AnswerIt has a regular aux out and comes with a aux-to-RCA cable. You can hook it up to a receiver or speakers that take aux or RCA in. Bluetooth out is just another option.
A:AnswerThis question is surprising, since the platter itself is rather heavy metal. I'm sorry, I have no idea what to do with this as I've never encountered it. I think I'd take it back for an exchange.
A:AnswerProbably. A/V equipment is really easy to set up compared to a computer system. Check to be sure that your Polk soundbar has RCA input jacks...it probably does.
