Is the built in phono pre-amp switchable? IE is there a switch to turn it on or off? Or is it always "ON"?

Sorry, I really can't say for sure. Don't have "possession" of this anymore, but as I recall, I think it only has the single set of outputs without a "switch", so therefore it is always "on" -- again, as I recall.

Dear Michael,Thanks so much for your question. The Marantz TT42P turntable has a switch that allows you to turn the built-in preamp on or off, depending on whether you would be connecting to a dedicated phono input on your amplifier. Let me know if I can be of additional assistance!Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

It's a two button footswitch. One changes between clean and overdrive channels, the other toggles your effects on and off. There's no way to change the voicing or effects settings from the footswitch; it basically just turns them on/off and what you hear is whatever's selected by the amp knob positions.

no it is not. there are in fact some vintage amps that used to be switchable. This is not one of those. I understand there may be some denon non-us models that might be.

If you have a more modern receiver without a "phono" input, you will need to also purchase a preamplifier. I have this and the audio-techna preamp and am very happy with it.

There is no on-off switch. The unit draws very little power from its wall-wart power supply which would remain powered-up even with the unit switched off. I recommend leaving it on or controlling it along with the other audio equipment. Powering it up while monitoring its output results in a loud "thump."

On the TT42P, which has preamp, you ignore the ground wire (I have no idea why that's there if you can't disconnect or turn off built-in preamp) and hook it up via any standard input (aux, cd, etc.), but do NOT use phono input with ground wire. This would damage the amplifier.What could confuse people is the presence of a ground wire, which has no use at all because of built-in preamp.To answer your question more simply, it is not grounded. Hook it up like you would a CD player, but do NOT use phono input.

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.

Agree with the answers from Jeffrey S and Stephen M. I use it with my Yamaha receiver to run my turntable through the phone preamp (with which I have been very happy with the fidelity) and the auxilliary input as needed to play music from iPod or Laptop. Simple push button to toggle between phono and aux. No on/off switch (I plug it into a switched outlet on the receiver).

The problem with a turntable and powered speakers is that turntables do not output the line-level signal you need. There are small pre-amps designed for record players that bring the very low signal up to line-level - that is what you need. You could also get an older, vintage full function pre-amp that does all sorts of switching too - they are much larger and more expensive, but if you want to use multiple inputs they are well worth the extra cost. Follow this link for the pre-amps you are looking for:

Yes, it does have a built in phono preamp. You can hook up to any receiver or amp.

yes. my audio-technica lp120 has that switch and i am using the phono input on this receiver.

I'm assuming you mean a footswitch that lets you switch from clean or overdrive, or reverb on and off. The answer is no. There are two channels on this amp, but there is no footswitch to toggle between them. You can run effects pedals into this amp (which I do, both guitar and vocal) from the main inputs.

Yes, there are 4 inputs available but for a phono you will probably need a preamp.

The output (via RCA jacks) can be switched between "phono level" (old school) and "line level" (your typical, i.e. louder, modern output volume). The line level utilizes the built in pre-amp. As such, you can switch to line level and connect to AUX input of any receiver or receiver-type device which takes external sources.

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.

No problem. I use in a one-channel antique jukebox for the phono input. Very few of the modern ones have a phono input anymore and they need a pre-amp. This is a road-warrior amp, and I have used several of them for different projects over the years. One takes the output from my surround sound unit and powers speaker pairs all over the house. Another goo feature is that the off-on switch stays in the position you leave it and can be used in a switched power outlet of a master amp or anything else you want it to respond to. I keep coming back to this amp and have been very happy with them...especially the price and availability.

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.
