I want to hook up my turntable but don't see a place to put the grounding wire from the turntable. Where would I properly attach it?

Hi Michael C., available audio port for this Sony LBT-ZX66i is a PHONO IN L/R jacks (red/white). You may check your turntable if it supports this kind of connection. -Ely

Plug in the two RCA jacks to your amp, then plug in the power supply... That's It !!! Don't forget to ground the turntable to the amp..

You'll definitely need an RIAA-type of preamp (Amazon has a few economical models). The signal coming out of a turntable needs to be EQ'd and boosted to work properly. No real way around it. :-)

Yes, you can. Don't forget to connect the ground wire from your turntable to the ground lug next to the RCA inputs.

Check your amplifier/receiver and see if it has a phono RCA input on the back. You should also see a ground wire screw as well. If it doesn't have this and doesn't say phono you will need a preamp. Also check what type of cartridge the turntable has, most common is MM Moving Magnet so a common preamp will do. If the cartridge is a MC Moving Coil you will need a more powerful preamp. Many preamps will tell you on the box if they can amplify a MC signal. If you have a not that expensive table you probably have a MM cartridge and a regular phono preamp will suffice.

I found it fairly simple and straight forward to hookup. Run a ground wire to back of Receiver from back of turntable which is marked. Then run the rca cable from back of receiver to back of turntable. Three wires to hookup and ready to use.

Since the receiver does not appear to have a dedicated Phono input on the back just pick any channel that is not in use, and plug the red and white RCA cable from your turntable into the receiver, into the red and white holes on the back.

i would think so long as it follows the standard settings, two screws to hold it to the headshell and four wires for the plug base, i would not see that as a issue. i think the bigger concern was does the plug base fit your turntables arm.

Yes that's exactly what it does. Just make sure you have another cable to run into the device from the turntable.

The AT-LP120-USB has an isolated power supply, so no grounding wire is needed or necessary. The ground between the turntable and your receiver is carried through the outer ring of the RCA connector.

You will need: -A receiver. It can be stereo or surround, and it doesn't need a Phono input. Normally Turntables don't have a preamp built in, so traditionally receiver's have had one input in the back with a preamp labled "Phono". This Turntable has one built in that you can turn on or off with a switch on the back, so you don't need any specific type of receiver. -Speakers. Every ear is different. Set a budget and go listen to some at a store like Tweeter or Magnolia, or better yet an independent audio store in your area. Pick the ones you like, not the ones rated highest on Amazon. Make sure that the speakers can adequately reproduce deep lows or you may find yourself wanting to add a subwoofer to compensate for this. Unfortunately, more and more pairs of speakers fail to do this as they dump larger woofers for more smaller woofers. But some brands still do this exceptionally well. Again, trust your ears, not a salesman or marketing. -Cables. This turntable includes the cables to connect it to the receiver. You will need speaker wire to connect the speakers to the receiver. Speaker wire is nothing but copper wire, which is often stranded and wound. You wont benefit from anything thicker than about 14 gauge if the speakers are next to the receiver. Longer distances may need thicker wire. And that's it.

Try plugging in to an open spot in the audio section. Is your "CD" section unused? Plug into the white and red RCA-type plugs. Just remember which section you use when you want to play your turntable! Good luck! No guarantees, Lol!

This line amp has standard rca outputs - if your turntable doesn't have rca's, you can find adapters on line that will convert the rca's to proprietary connectors. This is a great little line amp

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 actually use another rca line input and use the pre amp from my turntable with an in line booster (between turntable and 5000) and it works much better than the phono input on the 5000. i was getting a humming noise using phono input. your setup might be different though. either way my vinyl sounds awesome now!

there are two analog inputs, so you could attach a turntable. However, you will either need a turntable with integrated pre-amp, or buy an additional turntable pre-amp. Normal turntable outputs are very low and also are not flat. Turntable pre-amps compensate by boosting the lows. Something like this: Pyle PP555 Ultra Compact Phono Turntable Pre-Amplifier with 9V Battery Compartment to Mini Phono Preamp

There are several ways. If the receiver has a phono imput (and Yamaha phono inputs are some of the best on the planet!! -- that's how I would go.) use that with RCA plugs. If no phono input, and you want to use rca plugs (analog) -- there is a switch which activates the turntable's internal phono preamp, you can use the auxiliary input (aux.). Finally, you can use a (digital) coaxial cable. The turntable also has a digital output. So you can take your pick.
