Default Videostar 3V29 Noisy Audio (AUX)

Morning all!

I've got a 3v29 which works perfectly (playback taes) except for a couple of things. When playing back recording from the a freeview box using the AUX input is quiet and there is a background hiss. Along with the hiss you can also hear the live audio from the freeview box. The picture is perfect.

There is also a whirring from the large copper coloured motor marked in attached pic to the right of the main head, it sounds like its a dry bearing but not wanting to make a mistake by using WD40, I thought I'd see advice. Its the same area motor that whurrs when the head spins up/threads then stops.

The only cause I can think of for the background hiss is the DIN to Left/Right RCA cables i'm using are marked "Audio Out", is this the problem?

Thanks in advance
