I just got the turntable and after I hooked it up, it plays, but I have to turn the volume on my system all the way to hear it. If I had that volume when I switched the recevier to the CDplayer or TV, or anything else, it would be so loud that I would blow the speakers. Please help.
Make sure you are connecting the unit to the PHONO input on your receiver or mixer. If you do not have a PHONO input, then you need to purchase a PHONO PRE-AMP and then you'll be able to connect to any LINE or AUX level input.

I would check the wires to the cartridge. It might that one or more is off or loose.
If you turn down the volume completely and listen with a record playing you should be able to hear (with your ear) the stylus in the grooves of the record playing the track. Pick a loud (rock) record for this. If it does that OK the stylus is good.
You need to buy a turntable pre-amp, as the signal output is much too low to drive an amplifier. Or buy a DJ mixer, which has a turntable preamp built in, as does any "integrated receiver" which is basically a tuner/phono preamp/amplifier combo in one box.
If the player has a MD/MC pickup head, you need to use an input suitable for MD/MC (Magneto Dynamic/Moving Coil). If that is not available, you need to buy a standalone phono pre-amp (pre-amplifier with RIAA-correction curve). Like the TCC TC-400G/L. Example: See HERE and some info HERE.
Either the cartridge has failed, or an internal amp in the record deck has, or despite what you say the receiver has. I will clarify this for you. Magnetic cartridges need a pre-amp before it gets amplified by the pre-amp and power amp of your reciever. If that pre-amp fails you will still hear the low sound from the deck, but all others cd/tape would be normal as they don't go into the deck pre-amp.
All you need to is trace the circuit. Find the magnetic cartridge pre-amp and find where it joins with the pre-amp of the amp! If you stick a screwdriver at that point, you will get a buzz at normal volume on each channel. The cartridge pre-amp has gone if you do get a buzz!
You probably find it's a single IC that's gone, some are prone to static problems.
It sound like you may have to hook your turntable up to a phono input. Turntables have low level outputs. The phono input is designed to amplify this low level more than the cd/dvd inputs do. If you do not have a phono input, you can buy an external "phono preamp" online. Hope this helps.
Does your receiver have a dedicated phono input? If not you'll need to use a preamp between the turntable and receiver. Your other turntable may have a preamp built in and the Technics not.
If this does not help, please post the brand and model of both your receiver and your other turntable.
Make sure you connected the turntable to the PHONO INPUT of your Vestax Mixer. If so, then the problem might be with your mixer output, or your sound system. You will need to test each unit individually to determine what the issue might be.

check if the digital compression option is off.turning it on should make the sound equal.also might want to check your volume setting on the main menu when you turn it on.only problem is you need the remote.hope this helps in some way.
