Just bought a Pioneer SC-81 reciever and need something to hook up my phono, cassette and a cd recorder to it. Will this work?

It should work, the only thing I gave in mine us a turntable, but it has jacks in the back. Check your manual

It will work. As far as the phono input, you must use an MM phono cartridge. It does not support an MC cartridge.

I've used a cassette adapter on mine. Just plug it in like you would a CD player and listen to your collection.

i do not show that this receiver has a phono input. so the answer would be no.

You would need a phono pre-amp to boost the phono output signal to a level that would work with one of the receiver's audio inputs (e.g., tape or CD). Pyle makes one for about $15 and it is sold by Amazon. Some models cost many times that. I don't use one, so I'm not in a position to make specific recommendation, but some of the other reviewers make recommendations. If you are looking for a new receiver and want to play records on an old-fashioned turntable, I would suggest keeping things simple by looking for a receiver that is advertised as having a phono input. I recall one of the reviewers made some recommendations of receivers like that in the same price range as the Sony.

Hello, The receiver does not have a dedicated "phono" connection. On my set up I have the phono connected to a pre-amp to tape 2.....works great.

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.

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).

Looking at the connectors on the back, I don't see a "Phono" jack. You'll need to get a pre-amp (they're not expensive) to hook your turntable to, then the preamp output to the receiver. (My current Pioneer, which I got a couple of years ago, doesn't have phono inputs so that's what I had to do. NBD, really.) FWIW, I jumped on this deal because of the versatility of the connectors. I have a ceiling-mounted projector that is component input only, so this will allow me to have HDMI blu-ray into the receiver, and component outputs to the projector.

Yes it will but remember to plug the output of the Cambridge Phono preamp into one of the two "Tape" inputs available on the back of the receiver. The Cambridge is replacing the Phono preamp on the receiver. They both have the RIAA De-imphasis curve built into the circuit so you don't want to double up on that curve.

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).

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.

I would say so. It has a USB port and on the back there are two RCA plugs. You'll just need the correct adaptors for your cassette player. As I've stated, this is a really nice unit. The record player just isn't that great.

I'm guessing it would work with a tape input, but probably not with the phono input. Unless it is a newer type of system, the phono inputs used different line levels. The tape input shoudl work though. I use the CD input on my system and it works just fine.

Not sure... If the turntables output is equivalent to a cd player it would work... Not sure of the output of the turntable.

Yes Russell, This will work with any input you choose on your receiver whether it be Tape In, Aux, Tv Etc..As far as your ground wire goes, There is a grounding screw on the back of this unit. It's really a no brainer. ENJOY!

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.

Abigail, I did not purchase a receiver or speakers when I ordered this recorder. I was going to, but since I had speakers connected to another cassette recorder next to my new one, I decided to take the cable that came with the new one and I hooked it to the back of the new one and the other end I connected to the back of the older cassette recorder (where it said Aux). I didn't get a sound so I pushed the Aux button on my older cassette recorder and the sound came through great. I hope this helps you some. Joyce
