Reply to Technics n00b

Yo djtt community s, I got a problem. I got my techs yesterday and picked up my m447s, but it's being a bit odd on my record. Ive never used tts before, but my height is set at 0 the arm is balanced and is floating, anti skate is set at 0. The needle sits flush with the headshell. My balance is not backwards and the traking force is set at 2.5. When I put the needle on the record, you can hear like a scraping noise and the audio is choppy and staticy. Btw record is ub40 labour of love seriously though, help me out. Thanks!
