Power is on--for my PX-E869U turntable but the motor pully that the belt wraps around does nut spin. I would guess the the motor is at fault. How much work is it too replace and where could I find a part# and a place too buy it. Any solutions or informatio would be appreciated.

Well looking at the newprice, i would buy a new one/, but you have a belt drive platter and it it works as easy as a carengine - and the belt which turns the transformer, which goes via pullies which maybe in your case is just worn out, but first try a bit oil. And check the belt quality. If it is the motor, which i doubt , i wouldnt put any money in it , since they the unit is 60euro new.

This turntable is a belt driven type. The belt wraps around the underside of the platter and the drive motor spindle. If the belt has slipped off, broken or is so old that it is slipping - the platter will not turn. Usually you can remove the rubber cover on the top of the platter to use access openings beneath to put the belt back on.

The turntable product brochure, owner's manual and related info is available from Pioneer, here.

I hope this helps!

Lift felt on platter and and lift the platter section off the unit by putting your thumb and forefinger through the two large holes and pull upwards.There should not be any special routing for the belt and should go directly onto the spindle motor to your platter. Place the belt around the inside rim of the platter while it is still off the unit. Now replace the platter and move the platter around until you see the spindle motor through one of the holes. Use some tweezers to manouvre the belt onto the spindle motor. On some units you will have to lay the belt out inside the unit, replace the platter and manouvre the belt onto the platter. Hope this helps

Lift the platter off the turntable. You can identify the motor spindle by using your fingers to turn the round shaft which rotates freely. Remove the rubber mat off the platter. Place the belt around the outside of the drum on the bottom of the platter. From the top of the platter, place your finger in one of the platter holes and tension the belt so it will not fall off or twist. Griping the platter trough the holes while keeping tension on the belt place the platter on the turntable aligning your finger with the belt to the motor spindle. Place the section of the belt on your finger over the motor spindle. Replace the rubber mat on the platter.

Instructions on installation of your drive belt - this also applies to other brands as well - however this belt is only for the Technics models listed above:

1. Remove the turntable platter off from the turntable
2. Remove the old/damage belt
3. Wrap the new belt underneath the turntable platter - you will see a small lip on the bottom of the platter. Wrap the belt around this lip.
4. Put the platter back on the turntable
5. The turntable platter will have small holes, rotate the platter until you see the motor, and the motor shaft.
6. Pinch the belt, so that it wraps around the motor shaft
7. Turn on and enjoy!

There are zillions of belts out there. I hope you still have the broken one which will give you the profile of a new belt. Measure the diameter of the sub-platter under the platter. The belt you need well be a slight stretch fit. Then, with the platter back in place, slip the belt over the motor pulley making sure it is not twisted.

Ok, so put it back on.

It's very simple, just take the platter off, and out the belt on the bottom. Then put the platter back on, and you'll have to pinch the belt off the platter, and wrap it around the motor shaft.

Just lift the platter off the turntable, and you'll see where the belt goes. You'll see a metal spindle/motor - this is where the belt wraps around. Then you will have to wrap around your turntable platter. This is a little tricky, but you should be able to figure it out.

Most turntables have the belt wrapped around the bottom of the turntable platter, and then around the motor. You'll have to remove the rubber mat, to expose some holes on the platter, where you can squeeze your fingers in to pinch/wrap the belt around the motor shaft - generally on the lower left side. You can't miss it. Also, for future reference, here is the operating manual for your unit, and it has instructions on replacement the belt - it is on page 6: http://usa.denon.com/DP29F_DFU_ownersmanual.pdf

The reason why the audio is low, is that todays receivers do not have a phono input, and these types of inputs are differant then the ones of today. You will need whats called a phono preamp, and one should still be available from Radio shack. Or you can go here to find out more about them: http://www.phonopreamps.com/ To reseat the belt, take off the rubber mat on the turntabe disc. Install the belt around the inside ridge, there should be a couple of holes on the platter disc. Install the patter back onto the center spindle. Turn the platter around till you see the motor pully through one of the holes in the platter. Take the belt that is around the turntable platter, and pull it over to the motor pulley. Good Luck
