“I purchased the 686 to pair with my Audio-Technica LP120XUSB and 2 Klipsch R-625FA speakers. When playing albums I have to turn the volume up to 50 before I get good sound out of the Klipsch’s and that’s not even loud. Is that normal?”

Some of the others hinted at it, your record player needs a preamp before going into the receiver. You can find one for less than $20
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, this is normal. The volume control goes to 99. My previous receiver had much lower number ranges as for similar volumes. You just need to get used to a different range and volume level numbers.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.According to the Manual, you can adjust the level for each input by up to 12 dB - that may help somewhat: 1. IntelliVolume Adjust the volume level when there are differences in volume level among multiple devices connected to this unit. Select the input selector to make the setting. Setting Item Default Value Setting Details IntelliVolume 0 dB Select a value between "-12 dB" and "+12 dB". Set a negative value if the volume of the target device is larger than the others and a positive value if smaller. To check the audio, play back the connected device. • This function does not work in Zone 2.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Your turntable says that it is, "equipped with a built-in selectable phono preamp". I am not sure if it is automatically enabled, but do you have the preamp selected or turned on? If not, that should clear up the issue.
