Does this unit have a way to connect a Phono?

Not really. Hard to find one with a proper phono input these days. Basically means you need a phono preamp to apply the right EQ to the phono signal before going to any of the inputs on this receiver. There are affordable preamps, about $50, I think.

I just looked on the back of the receiver....there is not a specific hookup for "Phono". You could always use the red and white stereo connections to the DVD hookup on the back or the cable/sat hookup. You would just have to put it on DVD or cable/sat on the receiver to hear the sound come through. Anyway, THIS IS AN AWESOME UNIT!!!! Just Sayin!!!

James, you can connect you phono to an inexpensive phono-preamp and then into the aux. port. The phono has a very high impedance which would present a mismatch and therefore very low volume and probably garbled. The TCC TC-750 (Price:$43.50 + $5.49 shipping) should easily be good enough for a quality sound.

I think you could it has a auxiliary port which makes me think so other then that I have been very pleased with the unit over all

yes, but you'd use the tape or aux input, not the phono input. the phono input uses a built-in pre-amp.

Yes - connect RCA plugs (male) into RCA connectors on stereo - any EXCEPT phono - and you're set to go. I leave plugged as described so I can quick connect to home stereo.

It will not work without a phono preamp. The output of the phono cartridge is to low. If you purchase a phono preamp and purchase some adapters you could make it work.

The answer from Joan is correct. There is no low level phono input. To use a phonograph you will need a pre-amp to get the signal level to a useable level. Phonographs, 8-Tracks, Sony Beta...., Goony Birds! all gone.

Hi, no, you still need an amplified or mini system with phono sockets. Most mini or midi hifis dont enable you to use a recordplayer without a pre amp but you can with this

There is no "phono" input on this receiver, so it doesn't have a preamp. You can use another RCA input (I am using "Tape"), but that will only work depending on your turntable, and if it has a built-in preamp. If your turntable has a "phono" out or phono switch/setting, it will work. I have one connected and it works fine. Otherwise, you will need to buy a little $20 preamp. If you are only looking to power your speakers for a turntable, this is probably not the receiver for you.

Should be able to. It has a least 6 analog inputs you can use. Just don't use the phono inputs for this.

Without a phono input, my understanding is that you would need a line level adapter.
1042018
Yes. Besides the built-in phono input, it has 4 other line level analog inputs.

You need a PHONO input or an accessory PHONO pre amplifier add on. My guess is that you can not easily connect, but a work around is often possible with small expense.

I highly doubt the phono input will work. The phono inputs are spec'd for turntables which require completely different electrical specs than all the other inputs like tuner, tape, and auxiliary. In other words, the phono inputs will only work with turntables (phonographs).

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).

No. This is just a simple integrated amplifier with one input and one speaker output. There is no phono input.

Alas, no. I also have an old turntable, and there is no appropriate connection to the receiver.

you are not answering the question. phono, not phone(headset jack). Does it have a pre-amp so it will take a record player with a low impedance cartridge?

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.
