The phono section of my receiver is awful. Do I run this product through phono or aux?

I'm running my turntable through the Cambridge Audio Azur 651 pre-amp into the CD input of my Pioneer receiver which doesn't have a phono input.

Run into Aux or any other regular (line level) input. Never phono unless you want to blow speakers and/or ears!

I don't have a phono on my receiver so I run it through the aux. I also bought Blue Jeans cables and I was quite happy.

You have to connect the 651P output to your aux input in your receiver, do not connect it to the phono input.

You have to run all preamps through the aux input. The phono section already has a 'preamp' board built in. If you plug it in to the phono jacks, it will probably give a massive about of impedence and feedback.

Aux! Phono pre amps boost the signal to regular line level. If you plug it into phono it will be very loud and may blow speakers.

Get a refund. Even if you get it to work the sound quality will be terrible. If you have an aux input I would suggest the Harmon Kordon BTA-10.

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.

There is no "phono" input on this receiver, so it doesn't have a preamp. You can use another RCA input (I am using "Tape"), but that will only work depending on your turntable, and if it has a built-in preamp. If your turntable has a "phono" out or phono switch/setting, it will work. I have one connected and it works fine. Otherwise, you will need to buy a little $20 preamp. If you are only looking to power your speakers for a turntable, this is probably not the receiver for you.

Make sure you are connecting to the phono input with ground wire. If you don't have a phono input jack on your receiver, you will have to buy a pre-amp in order to hook it up through an auxiliary port. You can buy a pre-amp from Amazon for about $25. Hope this helps.

Yes, it has aux inputs. (1 set) The phono though, should have it's own preamp. I don't have a phono so I have never done it.

I'm using mine with a Sansui QRX9001. Connect left and right audio plugs from the CD player to the corresponding auxiliary input ("AUX") plugs on your receiver. Do not connect to phono plugs.

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

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.

Basically any receiver/amp will work with this unit as long as the inputs are RCA jacks and that's pretty much all of them. Here's how it breaks down. All turntables require a pre-amp before the signal goes to the main amplifier. Most modern receivers do not have a dedicated slot for turntables any longer. So most turntables include the pre-amp built in. The switch for the pre-amp is on the back of the Audio Technica. * So if your receiver has a setting for "Phonograph", "Phono" or "Turntable" you're good to go. Just switch the pre-amp Off on the back of the turntable. * If your receiver doesn't have a setting for "Phonograph", or one of the a fore mentioned, then turn the switch On. That's it. Simple. Just be aware that should you buy a receiver without a "Phonograph" input you will loose the slot for whatever peripheral should go there. In my case I use an Onkyo CR-315 Shelf Unit. I plug my Audio Tecnica into the "Dock" slot. This is to be used with a special docking device that allows you to plug in an iPod. I know longer have this device, so no harm no fowl. If however I did have this device and needed to use it, I would constantly be switching between these two devices on my receiver. So just make sure you have enough inputs to avoid this potential hassle. Really, the only thing you need to look for on a receiver is to make sure it excepts inputs through RCA jacks and again, that's pretty much the standard. As to brand, that's up to you as far as your needs and budget.

I generally like Pioneer, but if you read my review you might guess I'm wondering why you would want to hook anything to the BD. Having said that, I'm sure they're not all that bad. Not sure, but I believe phono input level is different from than aux / cd... I also believe their is an inexpensive converter on Amazon and elsewhere. Hope that helps.

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

You only need an aux jack for this unit to work. No phono jack needed. Has its own amplifier inside unit. It does not need receivers.

We used the RCA plug in the front or the audio "in" (RCA plug) in the back. BUT your phonograph has to have a PRE-AMP. With ours, we could barely hear anything... it was way too low in sound to enjoy. I hope this helps. If you have any other questions that I might be able to help you with, please contact me. THANKS..

FOR CERTAIN this will not work properly with a phono out. You will need a pre amp or a turntable with a built in pre amp.

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.

No problem connecting to a receiver. If your computer has a sound card, you could connect via phono outputs to your receiver. Also SPDIF if both have that plug.
