Sony turntable need jump around while playing record.
If it keeps sliding in one direction, it probably needs an anti-skating adjustment or to be put on a level surface. If it jumps all over, the stylus weight is probably too light or the surface it's on isn't stable enough.

check the antiskating. then i don't know.. maybe the tonearm has to be calibrate

HELLO
These cheaply-made turntables only do ONE job and that is to archive your record collection. Not surprised by the fact the record plays great on your normal turntable.
The arms on these turntables have quite a heavy tracking weight to them and you cannot adjust it. My advice to you is if you want to archive vinyl there are plenty of quality HIFI turntables out there that will blow away your Seal turntable. Don't be tempted to put a small coin on the headshell as this will INCREASE the weight and probably damage your record.
A friend of mine has one these awful Seal tables and I think they are pretty bad sound quality, also they go under many different brand names.
AVOID!

First make certain the record is clean with no dust or anything on it. If that doesn't work increase the weight/pressure to the stylus, by using moving the weight on the end of the arm. Ideally it should bet set to that recomended by the cartridge maker, so check that.

CHECK ANTI SKATING SETTING SHOULD BE SAME AS STYLUS FORCE ABOUT 3.ADJUST TONEARM HEIGHT SO IT IS PARALLEL TO RECORD WHEN PLAYING.HAS THE DECK HAD NEW PHONO CABLE FITTED RECENTLY IF SO THIS WILL BE THE CAUSE GET IT DONE PROPERLY.

Recheck the arm settings. Weight and antiskate settings cause what you describe.
