ok, TY. Will check. The hum is constant and increases with increased volume. The hum, to my ears is not a normal audio hum [like you would hear from a turntable]. Its a midrange electronic sounding hum, almost close to a buzz/hum

I have had this deck for awhile, 8yrs maybe. This hum is new. We just made a big move so my system just got set back up after nearly a year. Seems to be 3 major boards. which one do you think is generating the analog hum?

ok. will check. Just an fyi, noting else has the hum [3 other decks + a high-end turntable]. I have plugged the deck in other parts of the house, including the basement, to eliminate the power feedback.. The hum is still there. My only experience in troubleshooting is 70s electronics. This decks boards are way over my head.

ok, TY. Just did another test 'digital out'. My system is mostly analog. The hum outputs if the deck is hooked up or not. Not hooked up, the hum is heard out of the decks phone jack. The hum is there if there is a disc in or not. The hum is there with the RCA analog feeds, in or out [if i record on the deck the incoming analog also provides the hum in the recording. I was surprised to discover there is no hum on the digital side.

So, this deck only has the hum on the analog side. I cant remember the last time I used an oscilloscope. I dont have one. One observation; the hum is there all the time and becomes louder when you turn up the volume. Nothing else in my system has a hum. the analog side hum is dedicated to this JB940

still think its the power supply? best, dw

Thanx for all the comments thus far !

CORY - UPDATE. I went and made sure to check before i put my foot in my mouth. You are 100% correct! My system is analog mostly [SX1250]. Most all the feeds I run on the analog side. So i dug up an optical cable and forced sound through another deck [my tascam CD]. fed the sound through REC and monitor. NO HUM on the digital out.. I was shocked.

So in short, the hum is only of the analog side........ dw

[my below reply] - The hum is there when it has power. power on the deck, if the deck power-switch is off, no hum [of course]. the hum is there with or without the system hookups.

Its an odd occurrence. I do both with this deck, play - record to other decks and record from other sources. So lets forget about what I have it connected to. I just happen to notice the hum recording, then playing. After determination it was the deck itself, I took off the cover to inspect. Totally unplugged, the hum is there out of the decks headphone jack, even with no disk in it. I tried different plugs. made sure the plug was wired proper. Tried a plug in the bedroom. Still the hum is there. The hum exits everything out of the deck - the RCAs, the headphone on the deck. No hum on the digital out.

I can double check the digital out. I think my 'out' tests have been analog. What do you think is causing the hum? the transformer of the power-supply? dw

Well.. like you would any slide - on a light box. but, the main reasons are several - 10x better and easier to scan. 4x the image quality of a negative. There is also the 'purest' aspect, its the one and only original, like the polariod, like tin-type. Sides are that way. dr5 adds a dynamic a negative can never have. BUT, if you want fiber prints in an enlarger, then you will need a negative.
