Hi!

Turntables will output high quality sound only if they are connected to a pre-amplifier. These devices are different from normal amplifiers in that they only take the raw sound from the turntable and make it louder. Having the turntable only connected to a standard amplifier will not be the same, the sound will be played back at a very low volume.

Make sure the turntable is connected into the phono input on the back and the dial is turned to phono on the front. Then there is a little button around the back (you might need a matchstick to press it as it’s countersunk from memory) which toggles the input between ‘normal’ and phono. You want it switched to phono. Good luck!
