Why is my Technics Turntable humming during playback?
Humming during playback on your Technics Turntable can occur if other appliances or their power cords are too close to the stereo cords. Separate the turntable from these appliances and their cords. Also, ensure the earth lead is correctly connected to eliminate hum.
Why are the left and right sounds reversed on my Technics Turntable?
If the left and right sounds are reversed on your Technics Turntable, double-check the stereo cord connections to the amplifier or receiver to ensure they are correctly connected.
