Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

My CZ-101 has a horribly low output (-40db) !! I have to run it through a
pre-amp to get a level. Have you tried to listen on the headphones? 

 

Have you tried a reset? There's a  small hole on the bottom (one of those
pin-hole type reset switches with a 'p' to label it), try that as well. Also
try to send a sysex bank and see if that helps. My CZ-101 has a dead
battery, but if I keep it plugged I, it will retain the patches. If it sits
for a few months unplugged, however, I have to sysex dump patches to 'bring
it to life'.

 

As for my low output, if anyone has info on the jack type used for the
output, I'd appreciate that info. It looks like the owner prior to me has
taken the 'Phono' output and used it to replace the 'line out' jack (As I
don't have an actual jack in the phono port, but an open hole where the jack
once was). I'm assuming there is a different impedance for the phono jack,
which would explain the low output. Any input would be appreciated.
