Kenwood KD-48F turntable. Why isn't tone arm working right?
Everything works great except when I press the Play/Cut button, the turntable turns, the tone arm lifts, but then goes to the end of the record before setting down on the record. Is there an adjustment to the tone arm?
Thanks,
Bob

Hi Terry ,
I need more information from you.Your Kenwood is a two speed belt drive that features several auto functions.Are all the functions except the auto return function working? Could you elaborate a bit more on the problem?
Thank you
its likely that the belt has stretched and therefore will keep happening as its no longer http://www.needledoctor.com/Online-Store/Turntable the right size? go to this site for a replacement?
The tonearm lift is no longer level as it should be and the arm is sliding along it under gravity as the arm lowers to the record. Has it received a knock?
Have a close look to see whether it has been tilted slightly. That would be enough to give the problem.
A new stylus should not change the tone arm balance setting if it is the correct stylus.
Does your arm have a sliding balance weight at the rear of the arm? If so you can slide this slightly towards the cartridge to regain the correct playing weight.
I would suggest you get a repair shop to do this for you, or you could finish up damaging your records.
There should be a set screw that you can tighten in order to adjust the height return. If you do not have anything like this, perhaps your record is raised too much. How thick is your rubber mat? Do you have any other mats sitting on top of this?
There is an adjustment in the postion sensor switch of the tone arm located under the support housing. BE VERY CAREFULL in lifting or fliping the unit over. If you can lock the arm in postion please do so before proceding. There may be some dust in a optical sensor or the postion sensor switch may be loose and just need repostioning to the correct location. If your not technicaly inclinded I suggest a strong blast of air in this area may solve your dilemma, possibilty hair dryer(NO HEAT), air compressor(max 20 to 40psi) or a good seat of lungs.
