can I use this adapter to play (not record) records on my turntable? does it need special drivers just for listening?

Yes, you can! The whole point of the adapter is to create an input into the computer (from a phongragh or cassette deck, I assume a CD drive in the computer) so that a suitable program can convert it into MP3. That same suitable program can also play the input item(s.) Known programs that will play the input ar Windows Media Center, VLC, Audacity and Real Player. Other likely programs are Foobar2000 and Quicktime.

I don't believe it has enough drive at the USB connection to drive a speaker. I have never used it for that.You may try a speaker with aUSB connection and it's own build in amp.

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

In the back is under AUX a red and white for connection; but the instructions say these are for adding audio for DVD or VCR. The manual does not mention anything about turntables. I think it is because most people do not have turntables but it might work since it allows "external equipment" to use this port.

HI, I do not know what else it would work on other than my Teac LP R500 Record to disc recorder. Sorry. I am not an expert on turntables or electronics. I am just glad they make needles available. You might google your model to find out what needles work on it. Thank you.Duane.

AFelectrngineer already answered your question, but I was also going to recommend the ART USB Phono Plus. Even though you stated that you don't need the USB capability, the USB Phono Plus would probably be your best bet if you want to be able to plug in a set of headphones without having to do some electronic modifications to the unit. And if you do decide to use the USB capability, it'll probably sound better than your turntable's built-in preamp.

I think that you can. The unit does not have specific jacks designated as turntable but it has Aux inputs. This should work.

No. Your turntable output is not capable of driving the speakers. The speakers need to be connected to a preamp or receiver in order to get the proper signal. Hope this helps. Good luck.

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.

This turntable should have a pre amp built in. If it doesnt you will need it. I have the audio technica lp 120 and the pre amp on that is fine

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.

Sorry,This item does not have tha capability to plug in a turntable.Regards,HIDEF

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.

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

I use this amp in my vehicle to amplify the music signal from my phone to the AUX input of the sound system. It works very well, not only giving my additional volume but very clean sound. I also have a pair of Sennheiser wireless headphones but have not used the amp in conjunction with them. I suspect that it would work very well to amplify your turntable signal. One thing to consider... If this is a high end turntable, might you be losing resolution by using a digital device ( even a good one ) to amplify the signal?

NO!You cannot connect speakers directly to the preamp.A preamp gives you a strong enough audio signal to feed to an amplifier.You use it to connect your turntable to your sound card.Then, I think you can play "records" through the computer's speakers by way of software such as WMP or similar.I have only used it to create MP3s, music CDs through intermediary software, to make copies of the vinyl records.You do not want to play the records through the computer's speakers, anyway. Every time you play the record you are wearing it out more.It is best used to make copies of the records, then play the digital copy for listening to.

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"

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.
