The record player is connected to the audio tape by means of a 7 pin din plug, and on the amplifier side and 4 jack plugs on the tape recorder.

It's all about audio signal levels - The signal produced by a record player stylus is a fraction of the signal level produced by a tape deck and in-fact requires special (RIAA) amplification to bring it up in the first place.
Usually the amplifier input has a dedicated input marked 'phono' for the purpose. There are seperate amplifier boxes available to do this conversion and amplification if it really is a problem. They produce similar output levels to the tape deck.

Usually every component runs to the amplifier and through the tape loop back to the cassette deck. This will mean the record runs through the amps preamp before the signal is routed through to the tape deck.
It may not be a tape loop as such, just a stereo output on the amp - depends how they label it.
That's what I know from my experience, a DIN plug is quite an old connection though - I've only ever seen them on reel to reel players!

You will find that on most stereo's that the radio plays louder than the tapes. This is because it's been set like that by the manufacturer this is normal if your wanting to record your own record's try using a disco unit as you controle the volume and it works great for me...

When you record pay attention to the VU meter. It has to be most of the time close to the red, but it can go occasionally to red.
Play first the loudest part of the record to calibrate the VU meter and then use that setting.
If you don't have a VU meter, just increase the "volume" button on the tape recorder when you record, but not too much because you will distort the input.

Check if the tape has a record level and make adjustment to this volume you want.

Get an ampopifier as this will allow you to change the audio level(volume) that is going from recordplayer to tape!
