Can you connect a turntable directly to this receiver?

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

Hello - yes you can. In fact, that was one of the key reasons for our purchase. We connected an old turntable to this receiver so that we could listen to some records from the 50s. BTW this was a great value.

Yes, you can. Don't forget to connect the ground wire from your turntable to the ground lug next to the RCA inputs.

If your turntable has rca hook ups then yes. You will just have to hook it up through one of your aux. Receiver works great for the price. Puts out great sound through our MTX speakers. I hope I helped you out.

They connect via a standard 3.5mm audio jack, so I don't see why not so long as your turntable supports it either directly or via an adapter.

You cannot. At least not directly. You must either plug your turntable into a receiver with an optical output or HDMI output to plug into the soundbar interface.

Yes. Unless your turntable is one of the newer ones and has an integrated preamp.

You can set it up for 2 channel stereo. Unless your turntable has abuilt in phono amp it cannot be connected to this receiver.

Hi Sally I connect my turntable to my stereo input and stereo goes to a sound jack in my computer. I think this is better than using the Alesis adptor.I tried one and sent it back.Try using your stereo and let me know, Doug in Carlsbad Ca.

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.

The turntable has a L/R Phono input and a ground wire coming out of it. You'll most likely need a phono preamp to connect to your speakers. You can check out the TCC TC-750LC, I've been using it with my debut iii without any issues.

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.

For speakers to work directly with the turntable they have to be powered speakers - the kind that have to be plugged in to electrical power as well as to a sound source. Otherwise you'll need a receiver to connect between the turntable and the speakers

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.

I imagine you've already figured this out, but this unit has no phono pre-amp. You'll have to either buy an outside pre-amp for your old turntable (better quality, usually) which in turn plugs into your receiver or buy a new turntable that has its own pre-amp and regular RCA outputs for this unit (and most others I've seen).

There are some turntables that have a built in amp. Mine does so it works with straight RCA inputs.

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.

It looks like you should be able to. There are audio "in" jacks (1red & 1 white) on the back of the unit. Thereare 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!

No problem connecting to a receiver. If your computer has a sound card, you could connect via phono outputs to your receiver. Also SPDIF if both have that plug.
