DP29F turntable has static

My girlfriend has a Denon DP-29F turntable that sounds terrible when it plays. There is a lot of static and distortion when it plays. It seems to be worse in the right speaker than the left and at the higher or lower the pitch is. Don't think it's the speakers or the receiver cause the radio plays fine. We replaced the needle and the problem persists. The receiver is an Insignia and brand new with proper phono inputs/ground. Any help or suggestions?

Either you haven't earthed the deck to the amp, on the proper ground screw, or your head shell wires are touching.
if the cartage(the thing the needle slots into) unscrews from the tone-arm, try unscrewing it,then putting back on, nice & tight....
if it still does it then it's your RCA leads that go from the deck to the amp(phono cables).
normally you would wire a deck/decks to a mixer first, then from the master out on the mixer to the AUX IN on the amp.

SOURCE: Won't stop turning

There are some gears which move back and forth under the turntable which link to the plated  Sometimes they just get stuck, sometimes just reseting them will resolve the issue. Sometimes you need to lubricate them since they a just getting stiff (only lubricate the center of the gears by the shaft they set on) It is rare that any parts are actually broken PS Protect the needle while attempting to service the unit Rob

SOURCE: The Denon dp-45f has the old red & white jacks

Fasten the ground to one of the metal screws that hold the metal(?) cover on.You want to connect it to the metal frame of Onkyo.

Adjust pitch

Register (free) at Vinyl Engine and download the service manual. The adjustment you need to do seems fairly simple. You will need a turntable strobe disk to get the the speed right, unless you have perfect pitch.

No sound when i connect my denon-dp 29f turntable to denon rcd-m39 receiver. what might be the reason? Wrong receiver?

If your receiver ain't has a phono input and the tt has only a phono output, you'll need a phono to line line riaa amp , between the units.

Denon DP-297 Turntable Tone Arm Skating

There should be a weight on the end of the arm, this needs to be adjusted. Some have numbers on them, increase the number shown. To get it to work right you will have to do it by trial and error. Increasing the weight in small steps, then playing a record. The trick being so it stays in the groove, but not too much so it rumbles on the sound. You will need to repeat the process several times till it sounds right and stays in the groove.

Turntable (DP29f) belt came off. picture of it on?

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
