    Is there a way to fix the built in amp?

    I bought a Denon DP - DJ 151 turntable at a pawn shop for Christmaslast year. It has a switch on the back labeled phono / line . My understanding is that the"line" side does not need a preamp. But there is almost no volume. Is there a way to fix the built in amp?
