I hope someone can help me...

I got my used m3ds today and on one of them it seems that the left channel doesn't work. There is a huge bassy buzzing sound coming out of the left speakers. The right one is okay. Although i did just plug them into an amp one by one just to check to see how they are. i dunno

please help

Connect the ground wire to grounding screw on your mixer. You ought to read the manuals that come with the equipment!!! Oh and usually receivers have ground outlets for turntables. They are usually labelled "PHONO" for phonograph

make sure both of the ground wires are hooked up. I don't think they make a mixer that dones't have a ground on the back. Some might have it labled with a signal that looks like a horizontal line with 3 parallel horizontal lines below it.

if that's so simply unscrew it abit stick the grounds in, retighten and you'll be rocking.

if one of the channels aren't working. that could also mean that the rca cable is broken. i had that problem with one of my mk2's that i bought used. you should check that out
djHollen
i honestly think the left rca cable might be so. any advice on fixing that cuz i certainly dont want to open the tables myself. i bought them used. no manuel.. theyre m3ds

i'm not good with soldering and stuff like that.. i know u can get directions do take it apart and put the new parts in yourself, but its better just to take it to a store if you dont' understand anything. www.1200s.com

if one side of the rca cable is broken you'll only get audio out of one speaker. unplug either the red of the white side and see if you still hear sound. then replug in the side you took out and unplug the other. that should work as a quick test.

djHollen
yeah i did that. the left channel on both of my tables is out. is that a common occurence? thanks for your help guys
