Could I connect this directly to my turntable with a preamp? Or do I need to get a receiver as well?

I cannot know for sure as I have not done so. However, they have hi-z and lo-z inputs as well as the built-in amplification. Directly connecting to a turntable without a preamp should work....with a preamp might cause distortion but it might work as well.

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..

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.

You will need: -A receiver. It can be stereo or surround, and it doesn't need a Phono input. Normally Turntables don't have a preamp built in, so traditionally receiver's have had one input in the back with a preamp labled "Phono". This Turntable has one built in that you can turn on or off with a switch on the back, so you don't need any specific type of receiver. -Speakers. Every ear is different. Set a budget and go listen to some at a store like Tweeter or Magnolia, or better yet an independent audio store in your area. Pick the ones you like, not the ones rated highest on Amazon. Make sure that the speakers can adequately reproduce deep lows or you may find yourself wanting to add a subwoofer to compensate for this. Unfortunately, more and more pairs of speakers fail to do this as they dump larger woofers for more smaller woofers. But some brands still do this exceptionally well. Again, trust your ears, not a salesman or marketing. -Cables. This turntable includes the cables to connect it to the receiver. You will need speaker wire to connect the speakers to the receiver. Speaker wire is nothing but copper wire, which is often stranded and wound. You wont benefit from anything thicker than about 14 gauge if the speakers are next to the receiver. Longer distances may need thicker wire. And that's it.

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.

No, you do not need a preamp. There is a dedicated phono input. I took a snapshot of the page from the manual, but can't attach it here. You can download the PDF manual at onkyo's site and look at page En-18. :-)

Not really. Hard to find one with a proper phono input these days. Basically means you need a phono preamp to apply the right EQ to the phono signal before going to any of the inputs on this receiver. There are affordable preamps, about $50, I think.

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.

Check your amplifier/receiver and see if it has a phono RCA input on the back. You should also see a ground wire screw as well. If it doesn't have this and doesn't say phono you will need a preamp. Also check what type of cartridge the turntable has, most common is MM Moving Magnet so a common preamp will do. If the cartridge is a MC Moving Coil you will need a more powerful preamp. Many preamps will tell you on the box if they can amplify a MC signal. If you have a not that expensive table you probably have a MM cartridge and a regular phono preamp will suffice.

Hi, I think you meant receiver or integrated instead of straight amplifier. If you connect to a Auxiliary input or tape in etc. you would need a Phono pre-amp (step up transformer) then use the chassis screw to ground the turntable.

You will at least need a receiver that is equipped with an input for a turntable. Many newer home theater receivers don't include a pre-amp stage. And if you happen to use an audiophile-grade low-output moving coil cartridge, you might even need a pre-pre-amp. Most folks use the moving magnet cartridge that comes with the table (it's decent), so a pre-amp alone with a headphone jack will give you the "line level" output you'll need to drive headphones.

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.

I also just want to play my vinyl records, can I plug it into my receiver and play them.

You would need a preamp depending on what type of turntable you were using.

You can set it up for 2 channel stereo. Unless your turntable has abuilt in phono amp it cannot be connected to this receiver.

Look at the back of the set. There is an input set for "Phono." When I had a turntable, which I no longer have, this input jack sufficed on any receiver I ever owned - without a preamp. I would assume that is the case with this receiver. If you are uncomfortable without knowing for certain. I would suggest researching on the Yamaha website.

You can connect it directly, but a pre-amp could help. The sound is pretty clean as is.

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.
