connecting a SL1210 deck

[buckman]

Is there a correct way of doing this just connecting the deck? (without a mixer)

I think you have to earth the deck to stop the hum ..? and also the line outs dont seem that hot?!?

Turntables require a phono stage to preamp the signal. You can find them on hi-fi amps and DJ mixers, or you can buy phono stages separately for not too much (check hi-fi stores).
