Does this turntable play in reverse? If so, how? I'm trying to listen to side A of Lazaretto by Jack White and haven't been able to make it happen.

No it doesn't play backwards and you will only find that feature in professional tables like the ones used in clubs.

Lazaretto does NOT play in reverse, it plays from the inside out on side A. Any turntable will play an inside-out record (I have two records like that) provided you can place the tonearm near the label; SOME turntables with auto-return mechanisms will not allow the tonearm to be placed there because it will trigger the auto-return.

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.

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

This is funny. Looks like some people are too young to have ever used a manual turntable. The turntable will turn on and spin automatically when the arm is pushed over the record and lowered! Just like my old Technics turntable.

The only way I have used this turntable has been to input from vinyl directly into iTunes on my computer (a MAC running 10.6.8) via USB - sometimes via a free download called 'EZ Vinyl Converter' and sometimes, when I wanted to do some tweeking, via Audicity (also a free download). I have been very satisfied with the turntable for that purpose. But I'm afraid I haven't tried playing directly from the turntable into an audio system. Sorry if this is no help for your situation.

I have RCA wires connecting from the back of the turntable into AuidoEngine A5 external speakers....but the external speakers have no sound coming out of them....any ideas as to why? I wouldn't think I need a phono preamp...

i actually use another rca line input and use the pre amp from my turntable with an in line booster (between turntable and 5000) and it works much better than the phono input on the 5000. i was getting a humming noise using phono input. your setup might be different though. either way my vinyl sounds awesome now!

Although I don't have a turntable, it does have phono (RCA) inputs for one. I'm sure you can google the manual online.

DC in 9V. The player sucks. I don't know if it is a low quality needle or what but it sounds terrible, like you're listening through a wall. I tried several different records in great condition on a good analog stereo.

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.

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.

No, you must have a receiver to play it. It is worth buying a receiver, though, as this is the best turntable for the price. Many second hand stores have cheap receivers with phone inputs. Good luck!

I never have had a problem. All I can think of is it may be hooked up backwards on the in and out cable. If you have sound then it is not backwards.

Hey Maria!No the turntable doesn't do that, however; the tone arm does everything for you!! Just hit the start button and the tone arm lifts and outs it's self in place for you. When the record is done the arm does all the work again! It's very convenient!

Hi Coffee Drinker. I'm happy to try to help, though I only drink tea. This turntable must be attached to a receiver (or integrated amplifier, or amplifier + preamp) which has a phono stage. The connectors look the same, but a phono stage must have a much stronger amplifier than, say, a CD player, because a phonograph puts out a much lower signal. If your receiver (or other setup) does not have a phono stage, as many new ones don't (because few people use records any more), then you must get an external phono stage. So, assuming you have a receiver with a phono stage, here's the setup: you plug the 2-wire cable which comes hard-wired into the TT into the phono input of your receiver (left and right, as this is a stereo TT); then of course the receiver is attached to your speakers. If you don't have a phono stage, then you must get an external one to which you attach your TT cable; and then the phono stage is connected to any of the line stages such as the one for a CD player (they're all the same) in the receiver and then the signal plays through your receiver and out to the speakers. Hope this helps.

Did you find a solution? I'm facing the same dilemma now. Have the turntable, trying to figure out what I need to buy to go with it and am a novice at this. Besides speakers, do you need the stereo receiver or anything else?
