I have a phono preamp with my turntable. how do i switch from phono analog to cd analog? option greyed out in input setup menu.

I am not sure why you need to use the set up menu. Are there not separate inputs on the back for phono and CD? your phono preamp outputs should be connected to the CD inputs (or any other analog two channel input). You should only connect to the phono input on the AVR if you have a moving magnet cartridge and don't have a separate phono preamp.

You can definitely use a moving coil cartridge with the DP300F. If the cartridge is a low output MC, you will need to use an appropriate phono preamplifier. If you use a high output MC cartridge (like Denon's own DL110 for instance) you can use the existing phono input on your amplifier or the turntable's own inbuilt preamp, just the same as a MM cartridge. Hope this helps.

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.

No you would not be able to use the digital inputs. Turntables need to use the phono stage as it amplifies the signal from the cartridge and applies the RIAA equalization curve. There will be volume differences since each phono cartridge has different outputs levels. I hear very little volume drop but I have a higher output cartridge on my turntable. Make sure you using the proper phono cartridge settings ie (MM) for Moving Magnet or (MC) Moving Coil, that will also make a difference in volume.

Regarding hooking this up to the turntable - This DAC accepts digital inputs by way of optical cable or coaxial cable. As long as phono preamp outputs digital signals, this DAC can take the input. Regarding listening - you need to have an amplifier or receiver. :)

I found that if one doesn't have a receiver with phono inputs, a preamp is needed for ideal sound. I have not, however, converted vinyl to CDs.

If your phonograph is a low impedance output with a ground you'll need to buy an adapter to accomplish plugging it into a standard input on the receiver. If your phonograph doesn't have a ground wire (newer unit in the last 5-10yrs) you should be able to use any analog input.

Very few receivers these days have a Phono input, and this one does not. You will need to get a preamp to take the phono output and amplify it to line level, then use either Audio 1 or Audio 2. I can highly recommend this: TCC TC-750LC BLACK Professional Moving Magnet Preamp This unit also works very nicely to plug into a line-in jack on a PC sound card for ripping vinyl to MP3s. The only turntables that will not require a preamp are some newer ones that have it built in.

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.

This turntable model has no pre amp. Therefore it needs a receiver with phono input which provides the necessary boost. Usually only the pricier receivers have this option nowadays. I had to purchase a Denon in the $800-1000 range to get that. Separate preamps are available from Amazon that connect between phono player and aux input however. Read reviews on those.

Of course you can connect a turntable to this amp. That is what I have done. However, you need to first connect the turntable to a pre-amp (or soundstage) to boost the signal from phono level to line level. You can get a pre-amp for $20 or even less. No need to spend a lot on this component.

Easy. Just connect the audio cables from the output on the DAC to one of the inputs on the amp. I kept my CD connected to the CD inputs on amp, and my DAC is connected to the tuner inputs. That way I can switch back and forth.

No, like most receivers made in the last 10 years, there is not. The other person who responded is using some sort of external pre-amplifier, and plugging it into one of the other analog inputs. So, i can be done, but to answer your question specifically, there is no phono input.

Let me briefly tell you how I hook up my DAC.Mac mini optical out -optical cable-> DAC optical input and then analog out -RCA cable-> preamp analog input -> ATC SCM20 powered speaker input (XLR)Of course, you can connect your CD player similar way. The analog (RCA) out from DAC to the RCA input of your integrated amp.

Dear Mr. Lee:I decided to go up a notch to a Technic 1200 turntable.What are these other items; are they replacement items I can buy later? What function do they do?Shure M97xE High-Performance Magnetic Phono Cartridge Shure SFG-2 Stylus Tracking Force Gauge Also, a friend gave me a pair of bose $300 speakers for my PC. I think I want to pair this Technic turnable with a bigger Bose system, suggestion here?

Not really. It lacks a phono input, which is specialized in that it can take a less powerful signal. You can get a phono preamp for $20 or less, which then could be plugged into any of the RCA inputs (the unit doesn't have too many, so if you also have a CD player and another analog in, you'll be better off with another model). Receivers with phono inputs are becoming rare, as eliminating it saves a bit on the bill of materials and creates an upsell opportunity for the higher end models with them.

Keep in mind that phono (turntables) inputs normally need to be amplified verses a cassette, CD, etc... I believe you would need to use a receiver that would allow a by-pass for an EQ. You maybe able to route this from your turntable, to EQ and then to a MAC/PC using sound software too.
