      Megan WilliamsAug 8, 2025
      Humming during playback can occur if other appliances or their AC power supply cords are too close to the stereo connection cable. Try separating the Technics Turntable and its cords from other appliances. Also, ensure the earth lead is correctly connected.

      If your Technics Turntable has power but you're not getting any sound, or the sound is weak, the stereo pin cables might not be correctly connected to the amplifier/receiver’s PHONO terminals. Ensure that the stereo pin cables are properly connected to the amplifier’s PHONO terminals.
