I'm trying to work out the same thing too. The stereo unit that came with the sl-hm42 stopped working recently and I'm trying to work out a way get the record player going again. By the looks of things I'm going to have to invest in a pre-amp to boost the output of the record player but that will be no good unless I can work out what each of the wires do....

Let me know if you work it out yeah?
Also, just to check, does your flat white plug have 6 wires?

I'm having a similar issue - except my panasonic sl-hm42 platter is moving too slow on 33 1/3 settings (don't have any 45's to try). It's a DC model, so I would think there would be some kind of pitch control settings or screws somewhere on it but I can't seem to find them. Does anyone know if it's possible to adjust the pitch on this model turntable? Thank you!

wanna sell it?

the sound is sounding blurry

I am not familiar with your particular model of turntable, but typically the belt is easily accessible under the platter (rotating metal disc). Remove the platter (it often just lifts off, but don't force anything) and then you will be free to reattach the belt. Good luck!

the platter must be able to spin freely without a belt installed as shown in this video

that would be one likely cause presuming you have the correct new belt that is.

above video should help. if your platter is "stuck" then call them for tips. also make sure it does NOT say "direct drive" on the front of the unit.

presuming you are talking about the SL-H350 as in the body not the SL-DZ1200 as in the title

I have answered this.

Do you receive any disc errors? Or does it just not even load/accept the disc? If it does accept it, do you hear the cd turning?

Make sure you dont have anything jammed in there. The only thing that would cause this is a faulty drive, which should only be replaced by a qualified service technician. The part itself is roughly a $70-100 part.

The nearest you will get is the service manual. Dowmload the service manual and follow the dissasambly and reassambly instructions to the letter, otherwise it will not work correctly and the timing will be out. https://elektrotanya.com/panasonic_sa-ak20.pdf/download.html

Try disconnecting all of the speakers except the left and right main speakers. If it works, check the wiring at the back of each speaker to make sure there aren't any shorts between the terminals. Better yet, just inspect the terminals both at the audio unit and the backs of the speakers. Stray strands of wire reaching across to the other terminal or exposed wire on the other side are a common problem. If you have that all cleaned up and still have the error, you may have shorted transistors in the output amp of one of the channels, very likely the subwoofer. This may be caused by shorted speaker wiring, or the amp may have failed on its own. In either case, you would have to replace both of the output transistors for that channel (they may be built into a power amp module, in which case the module must be replaced). This requires soldering skill, and the knowledge to identify the transistors and check them with an ohmmeter. Most of the time, it's a basic job for any skilled electronic technician. (I did run into one model that would have required two days of disassembly labor just to get at the failed transistors - I told the customer that wasn't designed for service and he would be better off buying something different to replace it.)
