RR35/RR36: Why is my record player buzzing?
If your turntable is emitting a low-frequency buzzing sound, it's most likely a ground hum.
This is sometimes due to electrical noise or interference from other devices on the same circuit.
The best way to solve this is to ground your turntable.

- The RCA cables included with your record player have a ground wire on them, this is easily identified by the forked U-shaped spade connector on each end.
- Slide one end of that ground wire behind the ground terminal on the back of your record player
- The other end can be connected a ground terminal on the back of your receiver/amplifier, or a metal screw on the body of your speaker or amplifier.
