Can I connect a record player directly to this sound system or do I have to use a receiver/tuner?

I think that if your record player has a pre-amp in it and a USB out, you could.

It works better connected directly to your turntable. But you can connect it to your receiver, you will have to adjust the gain, and monitor the output volume, and use the line input switch on the adapter.. I've used it connected directly to my turntable, and the files come out perfect!! It sounds just like you were playing it through your receiver. You just have to make sure you connect the ground wire from the turntable to the adapter.. This cuts out the hum.. Great device.. Buy it, you won't regret it..

Hi, no, you still need an amplified or mini system with phono sockets. Most mini or midi hifis dont enable you to use a recordplayer without a pre amp but you can with this

I don't think you have to. Set the tuner to DVD/Blue Ray and you should have sound. You do need external speakers connected.

The phono input on your reciever is designed to take input directly from the turntable. Using the preamp basically boosts the signal so you can use a regular aux input on your reciever (including tuner probably). Depending on your reciever the preamp will probably give a "cleaner" amplification than your receiver's phono input amplifier anyway.

This is not an integrated receiver. It is an amplifier. Likewise, you would not connect this to an integrated receiver.You will need nothing except speaker wires (obviously) to connect your speakers. However, for the turntable, you will need a phono preamp. This is not unusual; you would need a separate phono preamp for almost any modern receiver or preamp/amp combo these days as manufacturers do not include them much anymore.

I think you need a receiver with a PHONO input, this receiver does not have one. Only the more expensive ones have that input.

Yes, a turntable can be connected. You may need to use a Pre-amp in between the two devices ensure it is loud enough.

If the receiver does not have a pre-amp section you will get almost no sound from the turntable. Yes, this will work. You will need to put the turntable RCA jacks into the phono input and plug the output from this box into a input into the back of the receiver (CD, line in, or aux or something similar to that) be sure to plug in the power cube and switch the button in the front to phono.

You actually have to connect the turntable to a receiver that has RCA phono inputs (different from RCA aux inputs) and then use an optical out connection from the receiver to the soundbar. Those receivers are not easy to find, but one example is Marantz PM6005 Hi-Fi Integrated Amplifier.

Yes, you can, but it depends on the record player. If it has a built in phono preamp, that takes the level of the signal up to that of a CD player, then you can plug it in. If it doesn't, which is more often the case, you need a separate pre amp. Something like the Behringer might do the trick. Behringer MICROPHONO PP400 Ultra-Compact Phono Preamp

The record player comes with an adapter to a headphone/aux output with is compatible with any computer's mic input Edit: any adapter from audio RCA L/R (female) to 3.5mm headphone jack (male) will work.

Hi, I think you meant receiver or integrated instead of straight amplifier. If you connect to a Auxiliary input or tape in etc. you would need a Phono pre-amp (step up transformer) then use the chassis screw to ground the turntable.

Yes!!! The NO answers are incorrect. A record player signal needs to be adjusted for the RIAA curve that is applied to the Vinyl when it is made. You will need a Phono preamp before this amp, otherwise the music will sound horrible

You need to find the output of the turntable, then something that will convert it to av so you can plug it into the reciever. I use my phone exchange with this setup and bought a headphone to stereo av cable and that works.

Hey Geron, you can't use that turntable with new receivers. Older receivers had a phono preamp but not the new stuff. There is a headphone jack that you could hook up a speaker to, but I wouldn't suggest it. The jack is a large one, so cables could be an issue. I would get an inexpensive surround sound receiver to link it up. Email me at tundrausher@yahoo.com if you have more questions. Good luck.

I've used a cassette adapter on mine. Just plug it in like you would a CD player and listen to your collection.
