Look at the back of the set. There is an input set for "Phono." When I had a turntable, which I no longer have, this input jack sufficed on any receiver I ever owned - without a preamp. I would assume that is the case with this receiver. If you are uncomfortable without knowing for certain. I would suggest researching on the Yamaha website.

Check your amplifier/receiver and see if it has a phono RCA input on the back. You should also see a ground wire screw as well. If it doesn't have this and doesn't say phono you will need a preamp. Also check what type of cartridge the turntable has, most common is MM Moving Magnet so a common preamp will do. If the cartridge is a MC Moving Coil you will need a more powerful preamp. Many preamps will tell you on the box if they can amplify a MC signal. If you have a not that expensive table you probably have a MM cartridge and a regular phono preamp will suffice.

No. You need a pre amp for a turntable in addition to an amp (which is this product )

I just connected one of my turntables and it will work, BUT with a very low output at speakers. You will need a preamp.

Sorry, but no, it's a "pre-amp". meaning it then needs to be connected to an amplifier or receiver which in turn are hooked to speakers. These are mainly used to hook up vintage turntables as modern amplifiers no longer have a proper "phono" input.

You will at least need a receiver that is equipped with an input for a turntable. Many newer home theater receivers don't include a pre-amp stage. And if you happen to use an audiophile-grade low-output moving coil cartridge, you might even need a pre-pre-amp. Most folks use the moving magnet cartridge that comes with the table (it's decent), so a pre-amp alone with a headphone jack will give you the "line level" output you'll need to drive headphones.

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...

Yes. I added a pre-amp to my turntable. It works very well. Highly recommended.

There are lots of RCA connectors on the back of the receiver, and are all line level inputs for things like tape decks, CD players, VCRs etc.. The thing you need to know is if your old turntable used a magnetic cartridge which most of the better turntables from the late '60s up to the the early '90s did, you will need to get a phono preamp for it. They are available on Amazon for a reasonable price.

You definitely need a ground from the turntable to amp or preamp. If you have a ground already check the connection. Lastly reinstall the cartridge. Good luck

Purchase a phono - pre amp. The phono pre amp has a ground where you could connect the ground wire to the turntable ground!

I assume that you are using a standard LP record player. Most amps today do not handle conventional phonos, however, an inexpensive pre-amp between the player and any amp will take care of this.

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. :-)

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.

No. If you want to connect a turntable that doesn't have a built in pre-amp, you will need an outboard pre-amp.

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.

There's no Phono input, so that implies you need a separate pre-amp, though who knows, maybe it does have sensitive enough input.The manual is almost impossible to comprehend, and unit's routing is really confusing, keep that in mind.
