To connect your Pioneer Elite VSX-51 to your AT-LP1240-USB turntable for better volume, follow these steps:

1. Check the Output of the Turntable:
- The AT-LP1240-USB has both phono and line-level outputs.
- If using the phono output, you need a phono preamp before connecting to the receiver.
- If using the line output, you can connect directly.

2. Choose the Correct Input on the VSX-51:
- Use an available analog audio input (e.g., "AUX," "CD," or "DVD") on the VSX-51.

3. Connect the Turntable to the VSX-51:
- If using the phono output, connect the turntable’s RCA cables to a phono preamp, then connect the preamp’s output to the receiver’s analog input.
- If using the line output, directly connect the turntable’s RCA cables to an analog input on the VSX-51.

4. Adjust the Volume:
- Use the Master Volume Dial on the VSX-51 to increase the volume.
- If needed, adjust the gain on the turntable (if available) or the phono preamp.

5. Select the Input on the VSX-51:
- Use the Input Selector on the receiver to choose the input where the turntable is connected.

6. Check for Sound:
- Play a record and adjust the volume as needed.

This setup will ensure optimal sound quality and volume from your AT-LP1240-USB through the Pioneer Elite VSX-51.
