Humming during playback can occur if other appliances or their AC power supply cords are near the stereo connection cable. Separate the appliances and their cords from the Technics Turntable. Also, ensure the earth lead is correctly connected.
What to do if my Technics SL-1210M5G Turntable has power but no sound or weak sound?
