When stopping playback on one of my SC5000M i noticed there was sound still coming through to the mixer for a second. After some inspection i noticed the motor wheel on my green SC5000M to the left goes backwards a few millimeter when stopping the playback, resulting in a “reverse scratch” sound whe…

Yeah it doesn’t matter in what way i stop the platter, the motor reverses after stopping regardless. Even if the unit doesn’t have power and i spin it manually. This is not the case for my other SC5000M, so it makes me think there is something wrong with that platter motor. I shouldn’t hear a scrat…

[image] Reticuli: I think one unit always stopping perfectly is a fluke of a really good brake. I was gonna say that the stopping one might be the faulty unit lol. I did take a look at the old thread to see if anything was new but nothing has changed. The OP did produce a video of how the d…

His doesn’t wobble any more than mine do in the vid. And he is using pause.

Cue should cut the sound, though, in contrast to pause.

None of those buttons cuts the sound completely on the unit where the motor goes in reverse, i hear a backwards scratch regardless. On my other unit the sound cuts perfectly and the motor doesn’t go in reverse when stopping. I’ll post another video where you can see the motor going backwards more c…

We know what you are talking about this is not new. It’s just you are the first out of many that has one with a tight stop. You can always turn the motor of before stopping

Ok so it is “meant” to be like that when using motorised platters. That’s a relief, i really don’t want to send something back to the retailer again, i just wanted to know if the unit i had was faulty or not. I just want the sound to be off whenever i turn it off, i mean i don’t expect to hear anyt…

I’m talking about the sound. There should be no sound when you hit cue. Your latest video did not demonstrate you’re experiencing something different than that since you recorded no music. Hitting cue is not going to wobble less physically, but it cheats the sound off with cue so there isn’t drif…

Oh okey, i see what you mean. I just tried it again, using the que button to stop the track prevents the reverse scratch sound being heard, but the que button doesn’t really work as a replacement for a pause button. And as i mentioned before, even if i use my hand to help the platter to stop, as soo…

You mean this one which is exactly what the OP is querying
