Technics SL-1200 Turntable - Page 7 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
HOW TO CONNECT A TECHNICS SL-BD22D TURNTABLE TO A TECHNICS SC-CH550 SYSTEM OR WHAT TURNTABLE DO I NEED?
If they are both Technics they should connect. There should a pair of connector holes on the back of the turntable, most likely a pair of 'Phono' jacks. Round connectors, one marked in red and the other marked in white. It may be marked as a "AUX OUT", "PHONO OUT" or "AUDIO OUT".
On the back of the System on the top section, (Marked as 'stereo sound processor''), there should be a matching pair of round connectors marked as "PHONO". Connect the turntable using a good quality phono cable matching the red to red and white to white. Personally I would recommend the gold plated type cable. They are usually reasonably cheap and easy to find.
You might have to change a setting on the system where you switch between radio and CD player to hear the turntable. It is often marked as 'AUX'.
Technics SA-GX710 won't turn on
Fuses should be tested - not assumed to be "fine". Check power switch for electrical operation. Check for broken/defective components.
Old Technics CD tray refuses to open
CD players have plastic gears. The gears can be stripped if someone has pushed the tray instead of using the open/close button. If you hear grinding noises, more than likely the player is shot. Sometimes pushing eject and tapping on the tray at the same time may pop it out. I don’t think a reset will work in your case but it’s worth a try.
