Need help with Technics SL-1200MKII

I recently bought some used Technics SL-1200MKIIs and can play a record fine and can hear it playing out of the table itself. But I can't hear it playing out of the mixer (I have tried 2 mixers - 1 used, 1 new). I can't hear anything through the headphones + speakers. I have both tables plugged into the Phono inputs on the mixer as well. Does anyone have any other suggestions that might help me? I'm sure it's an easy fix. It usually is.

Thanks in advance.

The "phono" ins on the mixer probably expect to see the output of an outboard phono pre amp. The mixer's inputs are more than likely at line level and merely labeled "phono" for convenience.

I already tried the Line inputs and it still doesn't work. I think that's what I got from your reply?

No, I meant you probably will require an outboard phono pre amp to step the signal up to line level.

Is the sound the same when the table is plugged into "phono" and "line"?

I am only getting sound from the tables themselves. No sound is coming out of the mixer into the headphones or speakers. I'll look into the outboard phono pre amp. Thanks.
