I've just been given this turntable and have plugged it in to my Maurantz Melody hi-fi. When attempting to play a record the sound is very faint. Have had to whack the volume up to max to just barely hear it. Does anyone have any ideas what this could be please? Loose connections in turntable perhaps?
