  A humming sound from your Yamaha Amplifier can be due to a couple of reasons. First, check that the audio plugs are firmly connected; if the hum persists, the cords may be defective. Second, ensure there's a GND (ground) connection between your turntable and the unit.

  If only one speaker is producing sound on your Yamaha Amplifier, the BALANCE control might be incorrectly set; adjust it to the appropriate position. Also, incorrect cord connections could be the issue; ensure the cords are properly connected, and if the problem persists, the cords may be defective.

  If the sound level is low or distorted when playing a record on your Yamaha Amplifier, first check if the LOUDNESS control is active. If so, set it to the FLAT position. Also, verify that the PHONO (MM/MC) switch is set to the proper position.

  If the BASS, TREBLE, BALANCE, LOUDNESS controls, and SUBSONIC FILTER switch aren't affecting the tone on your Yamaha Amplifier, the PURE DIRECT switch may be ON. Switch the PURE DIRECT switch to OFF to enable these controls.
