How to record from lps to tapes

Hello audiogoners,
I am having trouble recording lps to tapes using the Otari Mtr 10 and appreciate your inputs.
 The sound produced at a too low output level (volume).
Connections: elp1 out on Conrad-Johnson premier 17ls preamp to tape in. Tape out to elp1 in on the pre.
Output from Allnic to aux2 on CJ pre.
when recording, I set the source on the Preamp to Aux2, then set to elp1. I set the volume at the normal listening level (41). But the sound getting out from my speakers were too low volume, I can only barely hear it.
Did I do st wrong?
Thanks,
Calvin

Hi @cleeds 

The Allnic is the phono preamp, and it is set at the proper gain. I am listening to my lps right now at the same volume when I recorded.

I mean the same volume setting at “41” and the sound comes out normal.

There is the switch for Bal-Unbal on the board. I switched it back to Balance and my system is working as normal.
 Thanks for all the helps gents.

This morning I hooked up the Teac to the system. It turned out the problem was on my Otari. I might touched a switch when I cleaned yhe machine internally. I will check with the maintenance manual and report back.
 Thanks everyone.
