Can you hook a turntable into the system?

I don't have one, but if it only has a standard line-in jack, be careful. Older turntables and higher end recent ones only have phono out. That's a lower level output, with a specialized equalization curve to compensate for the characteristics of records. The short of it: it won't sound good connected to a line input. You'd need a phone pre-amp to correct the signal. Some more recent turntables, especially ones designed to connect to a computer, may have a line-out with a mini phone plug (like a those on headphones/ear buds). That should be OK. But if it has RCA plugs, it's probably a no-go without the pre-amp. I don't have one, but if it only has a standard line-in jack, be careful.

No, there are no inputs for anything on the main radio unit. I do't know if one could be attached to the tablet when it is detached from the radio unit.

No. Your turntable output is not capable of driving the speakers. The speakers need to be connected to a preamp or receiver in order to get the proper signal. Hope this helps. Good luck.

no you cant it's a great controller for any computer DJ program. I will actually replace your turntables.

It looks like you should be able to. There are audio "in" jacks (1red & 1 white) on the back of the unit. There are also a couple of USB ports on the front of the unit but I don't know if turntables are using them now. It is a nice system with lots of power, I like mine!

In general, no. The output of the turntable's cartridge (the little gadget that is actually in contact with the record) is not strong enough to drive the speakers. Another piece of electronics, called a "preamp", has to go between the two. If the turntable has an integrated preamp then this could be possible.

Dave there is not a dedicated Phono input. If you want to hook up a turntable you would need to get a pre-amp. I don't think they are very expensive.

Hi, I'm not familiar with that turntable, but if it accepts a USB connection, I would think so. Hope this helps.

Yes, because of the USB capabilities, I believe this model has a pre-amp already installed in it. Some receivers have a pre-amp installed, if there is a "phono" input. Mine does not and I use the "CD" input. I haven't tried it, but I would assume you could connect the turntable directly to speakers and it would be fine.

As long as it has line level inputs, you should be able to use a turntable. Since these inputs are not labeled 'phono' you will need a pre-amplifier for your turntable if it does not have one built-in.

You can pretty much kiss any thought of directly hooking up any old analog 'turntable' wiring into this Amp, or anything else which relies upon some magnetic-phono cartridge. Those days are gone with today's modern digitally-based Stereo systems.

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 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 realize this is an ancient question. You'll need to plug your turntable into an appropriate preamp, then this would work as you describe.

Unless you mean that your turntable has a preamp. In which case this system would be fine.

I do not have turntable, but there is a phono input to the receiver. I would think most all turntables would connect up to that without a pre-amp being needed...

you will need an amp/receiver, make sure that the model you elect will accommodate a turntable or you will need a phono-preamp as well.

Yes, indeed. If your need was like mine (no built-in pre-amp on the turntable and no specifically dedicated phono input on your amplifier) you will find this unit to be the perfect solution to needed amplification of the turntable's output. Don't forget to hook up the ground wire as directed or you may wind up putting unwanted noise into the audio.
