I cannot see the back panel clearly--is there a phono connection for old farts like me with a turntable? Or is there an effective method to use vinyl?

Without an external phone amp and line level"RCA" CABELS. No there is no phone input.I do here some companies are starting to bring phone inputs back.

I connected my turntable (white & red) to 'PC' on the back of the AV receiver and select PC on the input source to play your vinyl.

No it doesn't but I have a Onkyo preamp that has phone, tape1, tape 2, video, and cd inputs that connect through the auxiliary input on this receiver. I know it works because I have the same setup at my house. My Onkyo tx-nr1008 and my t-301 preamp run together but I added a turntable, dvd 2, and tape with my t-301 preamp. If you would like it I will put it up for sale on Amazon $100.00 free shipping if you buy the receiver.

My vinyl to pc capture was pre hdmi. I used rca to pc audio input. Software must have vinyl clean up feature.outcome is not high quality, but provided a clean retro sound on cd for a friend who's father recorded the album for her. sorry, HDMI audio in from rca...haven't tried. Maybe Audicity could help

I was wondering the same thing. I researched and found out that if yo buy a pre-amp to power the turntable it can be done. Receiver's in the past had the port for phono that was powered. John

yea... maybe we should put up an award for answering our question... how about we both chip in 100 bucks. I bet you by tomorrow morning we'll have dozen new answers!I want this thing badly, but if I can't listen to it NORMALLY using my stereo... then I'm not going to buy it. While I want to rip my LPs into MP3s, I also want to listen to them FROM the turntable.

I assume that you are using a standard LP record player. Most amps today do not handle conventional phonos, however, an inexpensive pre-amp between the player and any amp will take care of this.

Since everyone is enjoying, go with an ELP laser turntable. Internet search for that and be amazed. Play your records like they ARE CD's. Wild!

Yes, there's a 3.5mm jack on the back that you can connect a proper cable (likely with RCA phono plugs on the other end) to connect to your disk player or stereo. I don't know whether direct connnecting a turntable will give you enough signal without a pre-amplifier. Good luck!

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.

I also have a turntable that is audio technica AT LP60 , do I also have to buy an amp or can you tell me what to use. It is for a 13 year old and I dont want to have to spend 70 for this and then buy an amp. Somebody please help. I didnt know there were no speakers. i need it fast. Sorry this is a question not an answer

I think your machine has got a hardware failure. It sounds a little like something is broken in the turntable mechanism. I don't think you're doing anything wrong. (Oh, and no I haven't had anything like this happen in mine.)

Hi Ann, you need an amplifier. You can't directly connect this on a turntable. -Vincent

The unit is able to play back cassettes and CDs (originals and those recorded on it) through a receiver. It can not play vinyl. If recording of vinyl on the unit is needed, turntable will need to be run to a receiver/amplifier and the signal sent via the "line out" to the 222SLmk.

The Marantz TT42P is a nice piece of equipment. It works well. I found almost no staticwhen playing old Vinyl records. If your amplifier has phono input that means you cannot use a turntable with a preamp. You have to buy a turntable without a preamp!

A cloth dust cover is included. If you want to use this turntable through USB it should work for you.I wanted to use RCA connectors through my sound card but there is no pre amp so as far as I can tell it won't work like that. I know that wasn't part of your question but I wish I had known that in advance.

For a true audio buff with excellent hearing, that may well be a true statement. For those of us who are older, (I'm 71) and have experienced some hearing loss, It's fine. I'm copying old vinyl records into my computer using a $30 dollar software package called "VinylStudio" which cleans up the pops and clicks, and the finished product burned to CD's sounds great played back on my good stereo system. So, I'm very happy with the standard cartridge. Having said that, I'll probably upgrade to a better cartridge by the time I get halfway through the big box of vinyl albums, simply because I will have worn this one out. I forgot to mention, I'm not a classical music buff. We're into the 50's and 60's music, that we grew up with. Best of luck in your decision. Dick

Make sure everything is plugged in right. If using a turntable you need a pre-amp. Not to insult. Did you install the software?

No, the turntable has a built in phono amp. Please note that Pro-Ject often ships the wrong instructions with this unit and they will probably say that a phono amp is required. This confused me for a bit. The best thing to do is to download the proper instructions.
