can a turntable be hooked up to this receiver? Also would I be able to hook my macbook up to it to play my itunes library and what cables would I need to accomplish this?

a turntable will need its own preamp, or a separate one to act as a go between. Will work in any rca inputs once a preamp is in place. I bought a 20 dollar pyle pro PP444 mini pre-amp on amazon and it works just fine for my turntable which is a vintage pioneer model -PLS40. I have both the SS1000 and SS3000 sony speakers. Obviously the 3000s are better, but make sure you have room as they are big for bookshelf speakers. They are only about 29 dollars more, so well worth it, if you have the space. I use the 1000s as surround speakers as they are easily wall mounted with brackets. I also have a pair of SS6000 floor speakers, which have very true sound, but not very efficient compared to the JBL monitor speakers from the 1970s I just picked up at an estate sale. They don't make them like they used to apparently, although it make be unfair to compare sony to JBL.

I realize this is an ancient question. You'll need to plug your turntable into an appropriate preamp, then this would work as you describe.

You should be able to. I assume you have an RCA output from the turntable which you can connect to the unit.

Of course you can connect a turntable to this amp. That is what I have done. However, you need to first connect the turntable to a pre-amp (or soundstage) to boost the signal from phono level to line level. You can get a pre-amp for $20 or even less. No need to spend a lot on this component.

If your turntable has rca hook ups then yes. You will just have to hook it up through one of your aux. Receiver works great for the price. Puts out great sound through our MTX speakers. I hope I helped you out.

No. You'd need an external preamp if your receiver (or whatever device receiving the turntable output) doesn't have an internal preamp.

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 you can. This deck has a USB cable and two RCA cables. You can plug the cables into you receiver's or amplifier's line inputs. An older piece of equipment might have phono inputs. Do not connect this turntable into the phono inputs as the pre-amplified signal might damage you amplifier or receiver.

There are versions of this turntable with and without USB connections. Make sure that the description of the turntable you are purchasing mentions USB if that is what you need.

No, there is no input for a turntable or any other device. You can only play a CD, or listen to music by connecting your iPad, iPhone, or iPod to it.

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..

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.

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.

This receiver doesn't have a PHONO input. You would need an add-on phono preamp to use this receiver with older turntables. Some modern turntables connect with USB or have a built-in phono preamp and could be used directly with this receiver. Search Amazon for "phono preamp"

Maybe you need some sort of pre amp for the turntable for it to run on your receiver, Shure used to make one but I haven't seen one in quite a while. Do you have access to any other receiver to see if it works ok...it may just be faulty. Without getting my hands on it is hard to say just what the issue is.

The only way I have used this turntable has been to input from vinyl directly into iTunes on my computer (a MAC running 10.6.8) via USB - sometimes via a free download called 'EZ Vinyl Converter' and sometimes, when I wanted to do some tweeking, via Audicity (also a free download). I have been very satisfied with the turntable for that purpose. But I'm afraid I haven't tried playing directly from the turntable into an audio system. Sorry if this is no help for your situation.

It has a pre-amp so you can connect it directly to a receiver AUX or CD player input. You can also connect it to a computer USB or AUX audio input. I would not recomend this turntable. I had to make some major modifications to it in order to track all the way. The tonearm lead in wire is poorly arranged and hangs up if not re-routed. If you are using it for something else besides just playing LPs it will probably be OK.
