Can you connect the Ion Vinyl Forever USB Turntable-to-Computer Adapter to the line outputs on the back of your receiver and record records that way?

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..

I connected the Vinyl Forever to my PC. Then, using RCA cable connected to my turntable, and it worked fine.

I believe so. It's standard RCA stereo connection IN to the adapter, then USB OUT to the computer. So I would think any sound source that is coming RCA OUT to RCA IN should be fine. I used my tape deck and my turntable. Only thing you might have to play with is the PHONO/LINE switch. When I used my turntable directly into the adapter, I had to use the PHONO setting. It's really easy to use and I think it's a great product.

In general, no. The output of the turntable's cartridge (the little gadget that is actually in contact with the record) is not strong enough to drive the speakers. Another piece of electronics, called a "preamp", has to go between the two. If the turntable has an integrated preamp then this could be possible. These turntables exist but are rather expensive. Search on Amazon for "turntable integrated preamp" or "fully analog turntable" & be prepared to spend $200 to $1000.

Hi Sally I connect my turntable to my stereo input and stereo goes to a sound jack in my computer. I think this is better than using the Alesis adptor.I tried one and sent it back.Try using your stereo and let me know, Doug in Carlsbad Ca.

I think this is possible because the VCR has provisions for analog input. Why you would want to do this, I do not know because you cannot make disc recordings. You can only play what is saved on the hard drive.

It says you can but I haven't messed with it yet, BECAUSE THIS RECORD PLAYER SUCKS!!! It is built cheap and it is awful. Get something from ION. They are quality and have a vinyl to mp3 output and software. Lesson learned. Cheap aint good and good aint cheap.

Yes, you could but it would record them as MPEG files on DVD meaning they would have the sound but blank video, unless of course you queued up some other video and video source and captured that while playing back your records. This device would be overkill for the purpose you describe. Instead, but a cheap audio capture card for your PC, one that has stereo input (not just mono mic). It will have a red and a white set of RCA plugs as input. Then, use that card and PC software to capture your turntables output and record it to your hard disk...as WAV files and MP3 if you select.

You can use it with anything that has a "audio line out". Google connecting a turntable to audio amp.

The answer is yes,if you have a phono stage in back of your receiver.You can look behind to see if it is there.If not you can buy a phono stage and install it through your analoge inputs.Don,t forget to put your ground cable on or we,ll get a lot of humming from your speakers.Your turntable has three cable connections,a right,a left and a ground cable.Cassette tape has an input in back,now with an cd player you have two options, a coaxial digital plug or optical cable.If you are interested in the Tascam player recorder,you can only use a coaxial plug.The Tascam is AWESOME! if you decide to go with it.

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.

Does your turntable or cassette deck have a USB port? If so, then this cable may likely work for you. If you hope to play audio out, then try and capture it from your computer via the USB port, i'm not sure what software might allow this, if any. http://www.avsforum.com/forum/index.php Avs forums might have more information for you here.

Alas, no. I also have an old turntable, and there is no appropriate connection to the receiver.

not from the unit, but if you are feeding the sound in from analog source to the rca's in, sure you could. This is a component recorder, it doesn't connect to the pc in that way. But as I say, If you feed the line out from the source, to line in on the unit, you can record what you hear.

There are lots of RCA connectors on the back of the receiver, and are all line level inputs for things like tape decks, CD players, VCRs etc.. The thing you need to know is if your old turntable used a magnetic cartridge which most of the better turntables from the late '60s up to the the early '90s did, you will need to get a phono preamp for it. They are available on Amazon for a reasonable price.

My vinyl to pc capture was pre hdmi. I used rca to pc audio input. Software must have vinyl clean up feature.outcome is not high quality, but provided a clean retro sound on cd for a friend who's father recorded the album for her. sorry, HDMI audio in from rca...haven't tried. Maybe Audicity could help

Not that I recommended this device - I returned it. But, which line out are you using from your receiver? Normally for this type of operation you would take the "record" line out

I would not see why not if the turntable has RCA plugs. Mine is connected to a front PC USB portwith a 35 year old turntable attached.

Yes. I use the line-out in live and practice situations to run to a mix board. As far as cables, you can find 1/4" to USB adapters pretty inexpensively, as well as 1/4" to 1/8" (computer/headphone size plug). Either one of those should enable you to record a single instrument with Garageband. If you're looking to record frequently, or record more than one instrument, I would look into a interface, like the ones offered by M-Audio or Presonus (just search Amazon for "m audio interface"). With an interface, you would just need another 1/4" cable to run from the line out to the interface. Yes. I use the line-out in live and practice situations to run to a mix board.
