Hi, Remove the rubber mat on the platter, there is a toggle-switch for the pre-amp. With the power off, manually rotate the platter and it will become visible through the gaps. This should resolve the low volume issue. Hope this helps. Post back with your results and good luck.

Hi, if your not plugged into your amp via a dedicated phiono input, Ie CD or Aux then you need a preamp to boost the line levels. Cheers john. Styluscity

Old turntable given to me. sanyo tp 728 plays records, but volume very low. volume on stereo on full to hear quietly
Are you feeding the signal into the PHONO input? If not, then the volume will be very low. Make sur it is a PHONO input, not all receivers have them now.

Home theater hooked up volume sounds low
Check your different settings either in your t.v. or your amp. In your menu settings you can change your audio. Bass trebile etc. and even sometimes switching it from stereo,mono, dolby digital will increase your volume. Dolby digital is very quiet if your not running and exteranal amp system. so try changing it to stereo and your volume should increase.

Old turntable works but is too quiet to hear
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.

Volume is low on my turntable
You have to amplify the output from your turntable output to the input of your amplifier. To do this you can buy what is known as a pre-amp. Radio shack probably still sells them.
Be sure to ground your turntable to your amplifier and not the pre-amp. This should stop any hum or at least diminish it. Bear in mind that your records will not sound as loud as your CD's. Hope this helps.

Computer to stereo volume is very quiet...
Unless you have a choice of inputs, nothing.
If available, you can try a magnetic cartridge input which is much more sensitive than 'Line.'
It may be screechy though, different curve.
