I own this model and I am having difficulties finding a way to get speakers and sound out of it. Please help.

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.

Hi Coffee Drinker. I'm happy to try to help, though I only drink tea. This turntable must be attached to a receiver (or integrated amplifier, or amplifier + preamp) which has a phono stage. The connectors look the same, but a phono stage must have a much stronger amplifier than, say, a CD player, because a phonograph puts out a much lower signal. If your receiver (or other setup) does not have a phono stage, as many new ones don't (because few people use records any more), then you must get an external phono stage. So, assuming you have a receiver with a phono stage, here's the setup: you plug the 2-wire cable which comes hard-wired into the TT into the phono input of your receiver (left and right, as this is a stereo TT); then of course the receiver is attached to your speakers. If you don't have a phono stage, then you must get an external one to which you attach your TT cable; and then the phono stage is connected to any of the line stages such as the one for a CD player (they're all the same) in the receiver and then the signal plays through your receiver and out to the speakers. Hope this helps.

Hi, Thank you for your asking. Normally the speaker is built-in. you can adjust it. Hope that will help.

Speakers are built into the monitor. I see no way in removing them. They don't protrude out.

The problem is not just the speakers. There isn't sufficient amplification to product acceptable sound levels. best to get a sound bar or an inexpensive receiver and speakers. YMMV

All the speakers in my system are hard wired. I have not had good luck with my system and would not buy it again nor recommend it.

The problem is the headphone jack is faulty. It behaves as if you have headphones plugged in, shutting off the the speakers. As the previous comment suggests you can try blowing air through it with a vacuum or compressor. I found stick a headphone plug in and wiggling it and then removing it can restore output to the speakers. BTW, if you have headphones and you hear nothing through them while plugged in then you likely have a dead amplifier. It's probably not worth fixing since it's old technology plus the remote user interface is awful. Denon's produce excellent audio but their home theater remotes are horrible compared to the competition. The problem is the headphone jack is faulty.

Try looking for a reset hole on the bottom of the speaker. A paper clip should fit in it. That cured mine.if not, try calling the customer service number. I found them surprisingly helpful and friendly - not what you expect these days. They answered several questions I had and solved the problem Good luck!

I agree with the other comment. If possible, pair with another device to ensure that it is not the speakers. I love these speakers :>

Go to the Sound properties in Control Panel and make sure it is pointed to use this devices audio driver. This was an automatic process when I installed mine, but obviously there is some other variable in your system. Also go to Device Manager and remove the device and re-install, could be an issue with the audio segment of the driver. Shouldn't be this hard to get audio, so if none of this works it may be defective as others have stated. Hope this helps.

You know this system has been a pretty big pain for me. Sometimes it will work and then it just wont depending on what I have it hooked up to (TV, computer, etc.) I havent had that problem but I do know that you can go into the system through the TV and adjust the volume levels. You can also do a test to check all the speaker levels. Also try pressing "optical" on the remote.

The aux cable is a good answer. But if that is not the problem, then take it back now. Clearly defective. If you switched speakers, then it's not the speakers. Take it back.

It has really, really, horrible onboard speakers. They are worse than the cheapest speakers you can plug into an mp3 player. I am not exaggerating. I think the only way to get it to play through better speakers would be to plug it into a receiver or TV. It is absolutely too cheap to bother trying to get it to play through good speakers; I ran it through my TV sound system and the sound was horrible. I beg of you, do not buy this! It is the absolute cheapest thing they could manufacture and still have it work. It is really toy-like. Save another 150 bucks and get something that works OK for around 250 or so.

Youll have to do what Most of us did, replace it with another type of center speaker or find it used. :p Ebay or craigslist is your best hope, but this speaker is really hard to find. if you need a great alternative center speaker im sure you can ask or someone will post here eventually. :p

I had the same problem so I bought a set of "table top" (small and inexpensive) speakers with a volume control for 15.00. The jack on the speakers fots perfectly into the tv/dvd player and I can turn it up much more! (You can probably find speakers even cheaper than that..as long as they have the jack. ) Hopes this helps you �

Are you sure that you've installed the unit correctly? Inputs connected to inputs, and outputs connected to outputs? Additionally, have you verified that the impedance switches are set correctly? Lastly, have you removed the volume control, bridges the speaker wires, to eliminate a fault in the cables or speakers? If you've tried all this, and still experience trouble, I'd say it's possible that you may have a faulty unit..

I had a similar problem. All you can do is cut the wires and splice in 4 meters worth of speaker cable. It's what I did, and i did not notice any loss of fidelity.

What I did personally was solder the speaker wire to the terminals. The connectors that you would buy are a piece of trash. If you can't solder them just figure a way to tape them
