Have an RX_V371 that I use for cd's. Just bought Audio Technica turntable with phono preamp, thought I had it set up but almost no sound coming through?

No sound ? Make sure the audio input cable is connected to the music center FIXED outputs, the black connector is fully seated in the music center SYSTEM CONTROL 1 jack, and the multi-pin connector is firmly seated in the Acoustimass module jack. ? Turn the music center off for ten seconds, then on again, to reestablish communication between the music center and the speakers. ? Check the connections for any external components. Make sure to select the correct source for the desired input. ? Check the speaker connections. ? Be sure the CD is placed correctly, label-side up, in the music center, and the cover is closed. ? Increase the volume. ? Check to see if MUTE is lit in the display. Press the MUTE button on the remote to unmute the sound. ? Disconnect any headphones. ? Connect the FM and AM antennas , and last but not least. Make sure there is power going to the remote speakers or the unit will not communicate with them. Good Luck

Since the protection circuit trips after 4-5 songs at high volume from LPs, it may be that the infra-sonic rumble common to phonographic recordings is driving your amp stages much harder than it sounds like they are driving. You can check this with watt meters for your speaker outputs, or by filtering such extremely low frequencies on the input. If you have an equalizer--especially an old one--it may have an infrasonic filter, or just cut the very lowest frequency available on the equalizer after running your phono pre-amp into the EQ and the EQ into your VCR2 input. This setup will verify if your problem is the infrasonic rumble, but I wouldn't use it as the solution. There are very quiet infrasonic filters available that would work better for the long term. And if you just cut the lowest EQ frequency out, you'll miss some good bass.

You have a VERY nice turntable! TWO quick questions: 1) How do you define "minimal" volume? It is not NECESSARILY unusual that your turntable / receiver combination will have lower volume than your tuner, CD or DVD player. What happens when you CRANK IT UP?! Don't worry about the position of the volume control! 2)Are you changing the turntables output settings via the switch under the platter? Please post a reply and we'll go to the next step! Note: Ceramic cartridges are pretty much extinct. They were strictly low-end, low-cost, low-fidelity devices used in cheap audio systems of "yesteryear". Have you ever seen a BSR or Garrard turntable? Or your grandad's Magnavox Console Stereo? THAT'S where you'd find a ceramic cartridge!

Ditto. Double check the ground cable. If it is connected, then try a different set of RCA cables. Also check the connections on your headshell/cartridge. Make sure all 4 wires are properly secure.

is the wire loose on either end? sometimes the electrical plugs can cause noise due to resistance, so trying different outlets might help too
