TLDR: only nudging on jog wheel ring rewinds track (like scratching)
I’m curious if I’m the only one having this issue, couldn’t find any topics yet
(I searched for “nudge” but maybe that’s not the right word for what I mean…)
I’ll use nudge in this topic anyway
When I’m trying to beat match and nudge the track back (or forth) a little, using the outside, metal-ish ring of the jog wheel (without touching the platter of course), it very often happens that the track rewinds as if I DID touch the platter, wanting to scratch.
If this happens live your pretty much f***ed!
I tried it many times, looking at my hand and focusing on NOT touching the platter, only the outside ring but it still happens…
Vinyl mode is on when this happens of course and I know that it won’t happen if it is off, but I want full control so I’m used to scratch and nudge having vinyl mode on, not toggling that button all the time.
So I’m only touching the outside, metal-ish ring for nudging and I’m really touching the platter for scratching, setting cue points etc.
Does anyone have a solution for this or is this a hardware problem and do I have to return my Prime 4?
Never had that issue before. I also do a lot of nudging my self but I normally touch out side the jog. As I feel the the touch platter is sensitive. I think there a setting to that am not sure doe.
Yup, grounding issues (either that are related to the power grid/outlets/adapter or a rare hardware defect on the denon unit) result in screwed up touch sensitivity of touch capacitive jogwheels.
Since SC5000 makes some kind of calibration on startup, poor grounding probably results in screwed up calibration making the unit detect touch when your hand is above the jogwheel.
Okay I found the problem.
The power sockets in the wall aren’t grounded.
My house is built in 1910… that’s why
Possibly going to be some work to get them grounded I guess, but at least I know what it is now
Thx everyone!
