I see it has a "phono" setting. How can this be hooked up to external speakers? Does it have to go through a receiver?

It has really, really, horrible onboard speakers. They are worse than the cheapest speakers you can plug into an mp3 player. I am not exaggerating. I think the only way to get it to play through better speakers would be to plug it into a receiver or TV. It is absolutely too cheap to bother trying to get it to play through good speakers; I ran it through my TV sound system and the sound was horrible. I beg of you, do not buy this! It is the absolute cheapest thing they could manufacture and still have it work. It is really toy-like. Save another 150 bucks and get something that works OK for around 250 or so.

yes, rca jacks on back. but u need to watch this vid I made... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYX2WqDdcSg&feature=share&list=UUMcVhm07VGIcUJWqMF5-1Gg

The line out jacks in the back don't have any output (low level) so they won't push speakers. You need to plug it into a receiver. I hate this stupid thing for creating mp3's because it will only encode to a cheesy 128-bit.

Ugh I'm using red white cords to a receiver I'm no TECHY cant even reply here... There is a switch says internal external speakers.... I have speakers that use wire... And I have speakers where the red white cable would plug straight in without need of recieved hope this helps I'm very satisfied

Yes it has RCA phone jacks and I use them to send audio signal to pc because the record ( copying audio ) to stick has a serious lag time leaving the start of the song to miss a good number of seconds.

Sorry I AM NO TECHY but here is what I see there are line out connections where I'm using red and white cords-- quite comman--to a reciever

Yes,it has a built in phono pre-amp and will work through either an aux,cd,or tape input. You just make sure that the turntable is on the correct setting,it also has a setting that bypasses the built in setting for use with an amp that has it's own phono pre-amp,I have an older receiver that has one built in.

You have to run all preamps through the aux input. The phono section already has a 'preamp' board built in. If you plug it in to the phono jacks, it will probably give a massive about of impedence and feedback.

We have it hooked up through a Sony receiver. Its an older model Sony that we've had for a while. We have it connected to nice speakers, though, and it sounds great.

I think its a bad ad. There isnt any phono input on the back and when you look at Denon's site, it says the same, but under connectivity, it says it does not have a input. Looks like the AVR-3312CI has Phono Input.

Basically any receiver/amp will work with this unit as long as the inputs are RCA jacks and that's pretty much all of them. Here's how it breaks down. All turntables require a pre-amp before the signal goes to the main amplifier. Most modern receivers do not have a dedicated slot for turntables any longer. So most turntables include the pre-amp built in. The switch for the pre-amp is on the back of the Audio Technica. * So if your receiver has a setting for "Phonograph", "Phono" or "Turntable" you're good to go. Just switch the pre-amp Off on the back of the turntable. * If your receiver doesn't have a setting for "Phonograph", or one of the a fore mentioned, then turn the switch On. That's it. Simple. Just be aware that should you buy a receiver without a "Phonograph" input you will loose the slot for whatever peripheral should go there. In my case I use an Onkyo CR-315 Shelf Unit. I plug my Audio Tecnica into the "Dock" slot. This is to be used with a special docking device that allows you to plug in an iPod. I know longer have this device, so no harm no fowl. If however I did have this device and needed to use it, I would constantly be switching between these two devices on my receiver. So just make sure you have enough inputs to avoid this potential hassle. Really, the only thing you need to look for on a receiver is to make sure it excepts inputs through RCA jacks and again, that's pretty much the standard. As to brand, that's up to you as far as your needs and budget.

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.

Yes, it has a phono input. That's one reason my daughter and I both bought this 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.

I see nothing marked 'phono' inputs, but there are left and right analog RCA type inputs. You may be able to hook up a phonograph turntable to them, but it may require a pre amp. There are PDF manuals online for this receiver. HH

No. You'd need an external preamp if your receiver (or whatever device receiving the turntable output) doesn't have an internal preamp.

Hi,it is pretty much good to go ... you do need speakers and a receiver with a phono input. Let me know if you have any other questions - we will do our best to assist you.My very best wishes,JenniferMillennium Worldwide

Make sure you are connecting to the phono input with ground wire. If you don't have a phono input jack on your receiver, you will have to buy a pre-amp in order to hook it up through an auxiliary port. You can buy a pre-amp from Amazon for about $25. Hope this helps.

This is a phono preamp speakers dont hook to it only input phono and output to your receiver.

It has "phono in" rca's in the back. Just FYI, running it with a Parasound A51 and they are really good together.

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..

The phono input on your reciever is designed to take input directly from the turntable. Using the preamp basically boosts the signal so you can use a regular aux input on your reciever (including tuner probably). Depending on your reciever the preamp will probably give a "cleaner" amplification than your receiver's phono input amplifier anyway.
