Phono input How does this receiver sounds like using its phono input ?? Thanks ?

Honestly just ok. I found it somewhat flat and not dynamic. Really it was on par with typical MM phono inputs of receivers in this price range. I got a high output moving coil cartridge with a phono preamp and plugged into the line input. The difference was extraordinary. This receiver for me beat out the Marantz 8004 and the NAD 356BEE. I found them dull and needed to significantly increase the treble response to get any clarity. This Yamaha is very rich, dynamic, and has lots of clarity (if you like detailed upper frequencies).

There is an RIAA EQ built into every phono preamp. If you plug a phono preamp into a phono preamp, the result will be bad sound.

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.

Yes it has. It does not have a phono input though, but if already have a phono preamp this unit has a very good sound, I use it in my second room HT with PSB Alpha Speakers and it is quite satisfying in stereo or surround mode.

i actually use another rca line input and use the pre amp from my turntable with an in line booster (between turntable and 5000) and it works much better than the phono input on the 5000. i was getting a humming noise using phono input. your setup might be different though. either way my vinyl sounds awesome now!

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).

It is worth a try but on my original stereo the phono input gave a garbled output and any other one seemed fine

It's pretty straight forward. There are 2xphono inputs or, alternately, 2x1/4" inputs. The phono inputs are labeled L and R. Then hook your speakers to the speaker terminals on either the A or B channel. Then make sure your source is outputting sound and the proper channel is selected on the from of the unit and you are done.

There aren't any phono inputs so it's not really a great option. However, you can purchase a separate pre-amp that you can then plug in to any stereo inputs (cd, tape, etc...). Not really the best option, but it is a work around.

You need a PHONO input or an accessory PHONO pre amplifier add on. My guess is that you can not easily connect, but a work around is often possible with small expense.

If the receiver does not have a pre-amp section you will get almost no sound from the turntable. Yes, this will work. You will need to put the turntable RCA jacks into the phono input and plug the output from this box into a input into the back of the receiver (CD, line in, or aux or something similar to that) be sure to plug in the power cube and switch the button in the front to phono.

All the outputs are wire clips, not phono plugs. Also, keep in mind the sub-woofer channel is not powered. But, this is a great receiver, has worked well.

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.

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.

You only need an aux jack for this unit to work. No phono jack needed. Has its own amplifier inside unit. It does not need receivers.

Hooking this unit to your phono input will result in RIAA EQ being applied twice to the signal. You will get the boost but the sound will be terrible. You'd be also running the risk of saturating that input and damage it. The same company sells a MM/MC preamp for slightly more. I'd buy and use that instead.

Yes this has a phono plug. This is an excellent receiver for all digital and analog audio.
