PANASONIC COMPACT AUDIO SYSTEM MODEL #SG-HM22 help

I don't have the specs available however, many turntables utilize the actual wall outlet voltage to operate the turn table itself. if you have one in front of you, you can measure the voltage directly. It should be AC as the frequency of the input voltage is what sets the base rate of the motor that operates the turn table and is then typically altered by the transmission.

there should be a small switch on the inside of the turn table that allows you to switch from 45 (what i think your listening to) to the normal speed which i think is 33

That's right.

Here are some in-depth instructions.
Turntable-belts generally go from the spindle motor to the underside of the platter. The platter, or table tray, is the metallic structure which supports the record. After taking the platter off the turntable, a pretty self-explanatory process, look for the only large, circular "lip" on the platter's backside and wrap your belt around it. Make sure the band is flat, not twisted. Put the platter back in its original place and, working through one of the holes in the platter, pull the turntable belt to the far side of the spindle motor.

I hope this helps.

You need an "Audio Output" ie. Tape 2 mon or Rec out (RCA jack) on the Panasonic for it to work. Hope this helps

Hi there

this sounds like the belt that drives the turntable itself is slipping you can normally access it by removing the securing clip by the centre spindle and then lift the turntable up and you should be able to see the belt give the belt a good clean with isopropyl alcohol refit and hey presto (if you still get slippage order a replacement belt )

I have the exact same player and it does the same thing.. I guess no one knows how to fix this.

You can't put a price to something you have no idea what is all about. Know the condition of the unit, if it does work, it's a steal for used one.

Hi

Can you give me the make of the unit as well, we can do some searches aobut the place to see what can be found. Belts are generally not an issue as they can be fitted to suit the turntable. The stylus can be identified by often the shape and colour of it. Do you have the old one still? I have ID charts that can be used to match it up.

I had the same problem & came up with this solution. It is very simple.

Take the platter completly off the turntable by pulling on the nipple in the middle of the platter. If you are unsure what the platter is it is the base that the record lies on. It may take a good pull to get the platter off.

Take the belt completly out of the turntable. On the underside of the platter you will see a large circular lip. Wrap the belt around the exterior of the lip. Make sure that the belt is flat & not twisted.

Inside the turntable you will see a large round white gear. On the edge of this gear you will see a semi circle cut out of it with no teeth on it. Align this groove facing front & center of the unit. You can feel it pop into this natural position.

Take the platter & on the underside you will see a small white gear in the center. On the bottom edge of the gear you will see a square notch. This square notch needs to face the front & in center of the unit.

On the inside of the turntable there is a small white wheel on the right side near the record player arm. This is where the belt has to wrap around. This is the motor.

Take the platter & sit it on your lap with the underside facing up. Align the square notch that's on the gear so it is facing 12 o'clock. Pinch the belt at 3 o'clock and pull it a couple inches away from the lip.

Now flip the platter over & be prepared to install it in the unit.

With the belt pinched away from the unit slip the pinched portion over the the small white wheel that is the motor. Put the spindle that is in the center of the platter into the center hole of the turntable. Make sure the belt does not get twisted & that the belt is still on the outside of the lip not getting pinched or hanging off. Remember to keep the square notch that is on the the underside of the platter facing front & center. This step may take a few tries so just be patient.

Now push the center of the platter all the way down as far as it will go.

Turn on the turntable & enjoy your vinyl!
