How do i hook this turntable up to bookshelf speakers? It only has RCA output.

You need an amp to do it, the RCA jacks only put out pre-amp levels. You can also hook it up to a computer via the USB output.

You will need a receiver to drive speakers. The turntable will work with any receiver.

This turntable has stereo RCA output for connecting to speakers, pre-amp, or stereo input, so if your speakers have RCA input you can plug it right in. If your speakers are 1/8" plug, you can use an RCA to 1/8" adapter cable.

CR is correct. You will need to have a preamp of some sort built in to your turntable or a separate phono stage preamp. While I have not tried myself, I seriously doubt you could hook the rca out of the turntable directly into these speakers and get any reliable sound. The phono cartridge does not have enough output to drive a traditional amplifier in most cases. I do not recall seeing anything about a phono gain on the speakers. But I bet they would sound pretty nice with something like the Aragon 47K in between them, especially if you got the A5's

No, I don't but it is possible to connect turntables that have RCA plug outputs into the inputs so the signal can be entered into a computer program.Personally, I only use the outputs which go to sound equipment such as a mixer.

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.

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

Sorry no RCA Jacks, but I think they make a conversion cable from RCA to USB so you can use your turn table.Or Buy an new turn table with a USB cable output.

Would need more information regarding the turntable, but if it has RCA out put jacks get an RCA cable with a mini stereo input and attach to the auxiliary input. We have a TV connected this way in the patio with the hot tub and the sound is terrific

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.

I got it for a gift for my sister, I think it just plugs into computer to transfer records to digital files. MR etc. You can probably play them through computer speakers. There is no amplifier in the turntable.

Hi Eugene,The outputs are RCA only. You'll need to get a separate phono pre-amp (I bought a small pyle pre-amp) or a Phono-USB converter (ION has a nice one).

Sorry for the delay. I did not know the answer either so I contacted Pioneer. They said if your were using their receiver VSX 523 and wanted to connect a turntable to it, you would need an external preamp for the turntable and then connect it to an available red/white input. This is good to know as I have an older Dual turntable that I would like to connect to it. I recently bought a new Pioneer turntable but it has a preamp built in and all I had to do was to connect it to the CD input of the Pioneer AV receiver.

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.

This is a straight bookshelf speaker. Push in speaker terminals. You must have an amplifier.

An analog turntable will not be able to be connected to a digital stereo system (like a Sony Blue Ray unit). A digital turntable audio out with a USB cable will need to have a connection to the digital input - likely a USB

yea, you have 3 external outputs: headphone jack, RCA output, and L/R for speakers. i do recommend an amp or powered speakers because the volume is pretty low, and also you dont get a lot of treble when playing your vinyl.

you can plug in speakers with the rca output on the back of the stereo however, I bought this as a Christmas gift with the idea they can buy extra speakers for better quality but the output of the stereo is still average. They went and bought another one, haha. This stereo is nice for just simple, fun record playing but if you want something with good quality, spend $100 or more for a better quality stereo. This one is more of a starter turntable. Give it to your little kids to play 45's :)
