Turntable belt/pulley help- kind of urgent

Evidently you did not need to remove the belt. Did you find the ribbon tape the manual tells you to use to pull the belt over the pulley? Is the pulley (motor spindle) bent or broken? Where did you put the belt back on. In the diagram of the instruction manual the belt is attached to the underside of the platter. Are you putting the belt around the top of the platter?

Okay,I'm aware I sound like an idiot here, but I figured the belt thing out. apparently I had to leave it on the platter.

Anyway, I've come across another problem. The platter spins, I can hear the cartridge tracking the record, all cartridge wires are connected and in the correct spots, I've set the tracking force/alignment to an approximately accurate value (without the help of a gauge, which might have been the source of the problem, but I doubt it).

All cables from the turntable to the amp (which is a NAD C315BEE integrated amp) are connected.

All cables from the amp to the speakers (Wharfedale Diamond 10.1). Unless I'm missing something and the speakers have a hidden power button, everything is fine.

Except...no sound is coming out of the speakers. None at all. I can hear the tracking sound coming from the turntable itself, but nothing else.

Help?

Are the phono cables from the turntable plugged into the PHONO input on the NAD and is PHONO selected as the source on the NAD?

Also, were the cartridge wires in the headshell connected?

Check the mute button on your amp. Don't laugh, it's happened to me before !!!!
