Can I plug a turntable directly into the back and listen to records thru headphones?

It depends on if your table has a Line out. If it is only a Phono output, that means it needs to be corrected for the RIAA curve with a Phono Preamp, otherwise your highs are going to be shrill and you won't have any low end. The Audio Technica LP-60, for example, has a built-in phono preamp, so you could plug that table directly into this amp for headphone use with the line output.

No. A turntable requires a phono stage input. The input at the back of the Bravo Ocean is a line input.

It depends. If your turntable has a preamp you can. But it's rare. So otherwise you'd need a turntable preamp to connect your RCAs to and then connect that to the Bravo with another set of RCAs.

In general, no. The output of the turntable's cartridge (the little gadget that is actually in contact with the record) is not strong enough to drive the speakers. Another piece of electronics, called a "preamp", has to go between the two. If the turntable has an integrated preamp then this could be possible. These turntables exist but are rather expensive. Search on Amazon for "turntable integrated preamp" or "fully analog turntable" & be prepared to spend $200 to $1000.

Theoretically you can do it with PL to RCA cable. But the headphones not suitable for music listening.

I realize this is an ancient question. You'll need to plug your turntable into an appropriate preamp, then this would work as you describe.

If your turntable has 2 RCA audio out cables, then you could plug it in to an AUX input. I've done this with many old turntables and amps and it sounded great.

There is no input for a turntable. Only 4 input for CD players, etc. You will need to buy a separate phone stage unit.

Yes, if your turntable has blue tooth capabilities. There is an aux plug that works with earphones.

I don't have one, but if it only has a standard line-in jack, be careful. Older turntables and higher end recent ones only have phono out. That's a lower level output, with a specialized equalization curve to compensate for the characteristics of records. The short of it: it won't sound good connected to a line input. You'd need a phone pre-amp to correct the signal. Some more recent turntables, especially ones designed to connect to a computer, may have a line-out with a mini phone plug (like a those on headphones/ear buds). That should be OK. But if it has RCA plugs, it's probably a no-go without the pre-amp. I don't have one, but if it only has a standard line-in jack, be careful.

If your turntable does not have an internal preamp, then you will need an external phono preamp prior to input into one of the audio inputs on the receiver. Decent ones are available for about $50: http://www.amazon.com/ART-II-Preamplifier-Outputs-Switchable/dp/B000AJR482

Yes, you can. Don't forget to connect the ground wire from your turntable to the ground lug next to the RCA inputs.

This turntable has stereo RCA output for connecting to speakers, pre-amp, or stereo input, so if your speakers have RCA input you can plug it right in. If your speakers are 1/8" plug, you can use an RCA to 1/8" adapter cable.

The turntable plugs into your computers USB and the sound would come out of your normal PC speakers. You can hook external speakers to the unit itself but don't need to.

According to 'Billy's 4-star review, this turntable can be used to connect to stereo systems and listen to your vinyl. I had that doubt as well, but reading the reviews helped.

If your "record player" is a "vinyl" turntable (that plays LP 33rpm vinyl records), its usually has a "phono" output, i.e. 2 RCA jacks and a low power signal. You connect that output to the "PREAMP INPUT" 2 RCA on back of DJPRE II. Then, using a 2 RCA male - 1 3.5mm plug cable, connecting the DJPRE II to your headphones or computer speakers should work OK.

You can NOT plug this, or any quality Turntable w/cartridge, directly into a speaker, or any of the new iPhone type accessory speaker devices. You need a "Phono Pre-Amp" that both amplifies the very low level output from the cartridge AND equalizes the sound. All good cartridges equalize to the RIAA curve. A Phono pre-amp has to then de-equalize back to linear sound for play back. Confusing, but required.

This turntable has RCA aux. output connections (R & L) on the back. One should be able to connect to a home stereo with aux. input connections.

I also just want to play my vinyl records, can I plug it into my receiver and play them.
