Will this receiver accept a turntable directly, or would a separate pre-amp be required?

There's no Phono input, so that implies you need a separate pre-amp, though who knows, maybe it does have sensitive enough input.The manual is almost impossible to comprehend, and unit's routing is really confusing, keep that in mind.

It's an integrated amp, so you don't normally need a pre-amp. However there is no phono stage so you would need one for your turntable in order to bring the sound from the vinyl back to RIAA standard. Good speaker cables, too, obviously.

S.Payne is correct. The "Special Input" is called a pre-amp to boost the very low signal from the turntable's cartridge up to something the receiver can use. I have the "TCC TC-750 BLACK Audiophile Phono Preamp, Pre-amp (Preamplifier)" and I am very happy with it, however there are other, more cost effective pre-amps available on Amazon depending on the audio quality you are looking for.

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

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

Very few receivers these days have a Phono input, and this one does not. You will need to get a preamp to take the phono output and amplify it to line level, then use either Audio 1 or Audio 2. I can highly recommend this: TCC TC-750LC BLACK Professional Moving Magnet Preamp This unit also works very nicely to plug into a line-in jack on a PC sound card for ripping vinyl to MP3s. The only turntables that will not require a preamp are some newer ones that have it built in.

Yes, I believe you could through the auxiliary inputs, since turntables are not considered very much, in the digital age. I do hope it works.

This turntable model has no pre amp. Therefore it needs a receiver with phono input which provides the necessary boost. Usually only the pricier receivers have this option nowadays. I had to purchase a Denon in the $800-1000 range to get that. Separate preamps are available from Amazon that connect between phono player and aux input however. Read reviews on those.

If your turntable does not have an internal preamp, then you will need an external phono preamp prior to input into one of the audio inputs on the receiver. Decent ones are available for about $50: http://www.amazon.com/ART-II-Preamplifier-Outputs-Switchable/dp/B000AJR482

each speaker his its own amp i believe so each speaker his its own power chord to plug in to outlet.. the speakers have 3 options for connection... as long as your turn table has any one of those types of connections. you should be fine with out getting a preamp.. as long as you have a volume control on the turntables you probably wouldn't need a receiver..

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. :-)

I imagine you've already figured this out, but this unit has no phono pre-amp. You'll have to either buy an outside pre-amp for your old turntable (better quality, usually) which in turn plugs into your receiver or buy a new turntable that has its own pre-amp and regular RCA outputs for this unit (and most others I've seen).

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 will need an amp/receiver, make sure that the model you elect will accommodate a turntable or you will need a phono-preamp as well.

I agree w/dbrdoc43 - search amazon for "preamp" and read the reviews. A preamp will increase the signal from the ttable so it will be suitable for a modern receiver. Old school amps/receivers had built in preamps; newer ones don't.

If receiver other devices will have the same problem. If just turntable check all connectors and ground wire. If turntable connected to separate pre amp that could also be problem.

Or you could check out what are known as "head pre-amps" that will amplify the signal from the cartridge so that it meets the Denon receiver's minimum input requirement.When I was shopping around for a new multi-channel receiver or a simple stereo pre-amp/amp the salesman recommended that I go for a stereo pre-amp/amp since it would have a phono input, but the usual receivers don't.
