I bought 2 of these for my daughter for her birthday and both of them skip records forward---it starts playing OK and then the player / record skips --any suggestions on what to do to make the records stop skipping?

It may be the record itself perhaps? Is the player level? My unit works beautifully 2 yrs now!

Hello, Recording is rather simple with this machine. Once turned on , press record, let it initialize, press record,,again. You have to hit the stop button twice for it to stop recording. to play back hit play. Your recording should play back. I have several of these recorders and one does not playback through the recorder only through the computer. I had no problem getting the company to send a replacement.

An old trick I learned when I was a kid was to put a penny on top of the head of the tone arm, the little bit of extra weight keeps the needle in the groove. If it happens with every record that might fix it, if one penny helps but doesn't stop the skipping add another. I wouldn't put more than 3 pennies on it though.I hope that works.

Make sure the knob selector is switched to Phonograph. There is a plastic guard that has to be pulled back off of the arm/needle. The arm needs to be pulled over above the record and the first time I had to push the arm down until it reached the record.

We did have a similar problem and found out that the cartridge wasn't in all the way. We gave it a good push and it snapped in a bit further on the bottom. If this doesn't work, it could possible be your AV connection. Good luck. My kids love this toy.

The record player was defective and was only able to play 45 rpm records which are like singles. Small records. It plays old cassettes. Like I said it was defective and it was unable to play CDs. But I was able to transfer record or small records into USB device in front console. Which you are able to transfer into computer and mp3 or phone .

I don't have the record player anymore. It was a very good player; very clear sound. I used to play my old 78's on it. But it was a nuisance to keep changing the records. So I am currently looking for a "stackable" record player. Unfortunately, Crosley no longer makes the stackable players. I will now search on E-Bay. DAME HILDA VAN WINKLE

Maybe you need some sort of pre amp for the turntable for it to run on your receiver, Shure used to make one but I haven't seen one in quite a while. Do you have access to any other receiver to see if it works ok...it may just be faulty. Without getting my hands on it is hard to say just what the issue is.

Lisa, I'm sorry you're facing difficulty with this music box. My granddaughter's is still working fine. Perhaps you can contact the manufacturer and politely ask for a refund or ask for an explanation and remedy. I hope this helps.

Yep...The same thing happened to me. I sent it back, bought another one and it happened again. The last one I ordered from Amazon which I never received from Amazon so I took that as a sign to find another player. Any suggestions?

Oddly, we have the same problem. We have had our Sony for several years, granted, but it has stopped transitioning to the next CD too. I have no answers for you. If it is still under warranty apply to Sony for your answer. Good Luck!

I wish I could help, but I haven't had the problem. Stay after Ion until they offer a valid solution to your problem or replace the turntable. One thing you could do is make sure the turntable is level. Hope this helps.

I had so many issues with this player myself that I eventually scrapped it and purchased one of superior quality..... Off brands can be tricky to deal with.... you might try formatting the player to clear everything off the memory.

This happened to me once before but it wasn't a problem with the tone arm. I tried to play different records to isolate the problem and it turned out that my vinyl record was defective. There was no visible scratch on the LP so I didn't initially think there was an issue on the music. You may want to check your vinyl or look under the needle to see if some lint has accumulated there.

Not sure, on all LP's? Could be Cartridge alignment as the further into the record the more distortion with misalignment or a bent stylus. Or the cartridge could be picking up noise from the motor, but I would think that would have been a problem from day one. Probably not much help, but if you changed the cart. recently this could be it.

Every several months, my cassette deck rejects the device. What I do is keep the music playing, then keep putting it in a few times until it accepts it. It's been maybe a year since I've had to do it. I would try cleaning the cassette deck if it. I don't see how this thing could destroy a player unless you are being really rough with it.

I gave the recor4d player to my granddaughter. Check the directions that came with the player. Not much help, sorry. Go to a recordplayer repair shop (if you can find one)
