do you need a pre-amp to connect a turntable to this receiver?

This reciever has it's own in built phono preamp so no seperate box is needed. Just plug and play! It is a magnetic cartridge input only.

Hi, Michael... I haven't played any records since I had this reciever until I read your e-mail. It took me a couple of minutes to coax my ancient turntable into playing, but it did play a record just fine... I turned the volume up to about 22 and it sounded great, and I don't have a pre-amp in my system. I hope it helps and if you buy this receiver, I think you'll be happy...we've enjoyed ours and have had no problems with it. We're not real serious audiophiles, but it does sound very nice on our CDs and radio use. Good luck...best regards... Doug in Niceville, FL

Mike, I don't believe so. There is a "Phono" jack on the front panel and on the back. See this link for a free manual:http://www.manualowl.com/m/TEAC/AG-790A/Manual/224539Good luck,-Andy

I do not have turntable, but there is a phono input to the receiver. I would think most all turntables would connect up to that without a pre-amp being needed...

No, you will still need a phono preamp. If your turntable has an amp built in, then sure.

I'm no expert but you'll probably need a pre-amp if your receiver doesnt have a phono input and or was built in the two decades. If you dont have a pre-amp then your record will be fine but you wont be able to hear it and you may damage your receiver. It would be great if you can find someone to loan you one just to test it.

You will need a pre-amp, when I first got this I got a Music Hall PA1.2 MM/MC Phono Pre Amp. So RCA cables from the turntable go into the pre-amp then the pre-amp feeds into your receiver/amp then out into you speakers. Everything has been great and I'm really happy with my purchase, you may want to get another cartridge as backup or to replace the one it comes with. I have one just for backup and have found the one that comes with it works great. I didn't have to buy anything else.

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.

Yes. I have a TT hooked up to mine. AUX input. Had the receiver for about 6 months now with no problems. If you have an older turntable and have to turn up the volume all the way to hear anything, then you also will need one of these http://www.amazon.com/PYLE-PRO-PP444-Compact-Turntable-Preamp/dp/B004HJ1TTQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1361320716&sr=8-2&keywords=PYle+preamp

You have to a pre amp for a turntable that does not have on already built in or a stereo that doesnt have one which most do not.

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.

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.

yes. you will also need another set of cables to go from the pre-amp to your auxiliary input. These are the same cables that are coming out of the turntable into your receiver. I'm assuming your Yamaha receiver does not have a pre-amp.

Dear customer, pre-amp is not necessary since it is an integrated amp. but you need to add a phono preamp to play turntable.

Your speaker wires still go to the receiver...The pre-amp is only for your turntable...

No, you don't. A turntable preamp will amplify a signal from phono level to line level, so you need either a phono input on your system (which you have) or a preamp between your turntable and a line level input.

If your turntable has 2 RCA audio out cables, then you could plug it in to an AUX input. I've done this with many old turntables and amps and it sounded great.

Your turntable should already have an output cable and (usually) a ground wire. This preamp includes the cable needed to go to your receiver or amp, as well as a mini-Y adaptor to convert this cable to plug into a computer line input.

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.

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