Guys... help...i just got this turntable, and plug it into my Yamaha receiver 397... I need to turn it up to get any sound out of it!

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.

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 purchased this turntable and am having nothing but issues trying to get it to just play, I have Windows Vista, a brand new HP with the dual chips? Did you have similar issues? Were you able to get anything resolved? Thank you It plays for a short time then Pyro says Audio Stopped? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

The correct order would be turntable--&gt;preamp---&gt;DTI. Be sure to eliminate hum from phono cartridge wires running too close to TT motor. Also be sure to plug TT and preamp into the same outlet/power strip. Use quality RCA shielded cables and not some old RCA unshielded cables used for some cheap speakers.

probably need to pick up a preamp for the turntable to boost the signal. radio shack has them for 30.00

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.

I'm searching all over the net for an answer to the same question. Just got this receiver yesterday and it works great! I submitted an inquiry with Yamaha Customer Support. Doesn't look like it is supported but I'll post back here when I get a response from them.

It works better connected directly to your turntable. But you can connect it to your receiver, you will have to adjust the gain, and monitor the output volume, and use the line input switch on the adapter.. I've used it connected directly to my turntable, and the files come out perfect!! It sounds just like you were playing it through your receiver. You just have to make sure you connect the ground wire from the turntable to the adapter.. This cuts out the hum.. Great device.. Buy it, you won't regret it..

If you plug the turntable directly into the Bose speaker amp (which takes regular 1/4" RCA jacks, I assume), the output will not be loud enough. You need to plug the turntable into a small preamp (search "turntable preamp") to boost the signal from phono-level to line-level output. You can find these preamps for $15 or $20. You use one set of RCA cables to go from the turntable to the preamp, then a second set to go from the preamp to the Bose speaker amp.

If you're sure you have the polarity right on the cartridge, that's about all there is to it. Check the connections, make sure the terminals are all mating snugly etc. ...was this working at all before? You got to have a phono input or preamp, turntables aren't strong enough by themselves, but you probably know this.

according to this page, you need a phono preamp http://www.crutchfield.com/S-eSSr5pG4cZG/p_022RXV377/Yamaha-RX-V377.html

Hi, Michael... I haven't played any records since I had this reciever until I read your e-mail. It took me a couple of minutes to coax my ancient turntable into playing, but it did play a record just fine... I turned the volume up to about 22 and it sounded great, and I don't have a pre-amp in my system. I hope it helps and if you buy this receiver, I think you'll be happy...we've enjoyed ours and have had no problems with it. We're not real serious audiophiles, but it does sound very nice on our CDs and radio use. Good luck...best regards... Doug in Niceville, FL

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. :-)

Try plugging in to an open spot in the audio section. Is your "CD" section unused? Plug into the white and red RCA-type plugs. Just remember which section you use when you want to play your turntable! Good luck! No guarantees, Lol!

Does the CD tray respond? Does it open when it is supposed to? If you move the tone arm off it's rest post does the turntable begin to turn? If so the unit is powered up. Is the source selection knob not working? I hope you have better luck than I did with the unit I bought, I was profoundly disappointed with mine. The 2-watts per channel audio output was a huge disappointment. You won't get any "thumping" bass our of this unit. It doesn't distort, but has the sound of a 50's vintage table radio.Good Luck

Your turntable should already have an output cable and (usually) a ground wire. This preamp includes the cable needed to go to your receiver or amp, as well as a mini-Y adaptor to convert this cable to plug into a computer line input.

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.)

If your turntable has an internal pre-amp, the problem is probably with that piece of your equipment. If it doesn't have an in internal amp, this product should help. Most older turntables do not have built-in pre-amps. I'm assuming you have your turntable connected to an external amp. If it is a stand-alone (speakers in the phonograph) machine, this will not help.
