- No Sound Output: Ensure all connections are secure, and the gear switch is not in the OFF state. If the tube light is not illuminated, verify your power supply is operational.

- Interference Noise: Use shielded signal cables and make sure the grounding of the record player is properly connected to avoid unwanted noise.
- Warm-Up Period: The tube requires a warm-up time to achieve optimal sound quality—expect rich, natural sound after about half an hour of use.
