Marantz nr1402 how to connect turntable

I have a phono preamp, but am not sure where to plug it in to the receiver. I also am having trouble getting my TV sound to go through the receiver and out of my speakers. I have the TV connected to the receiver with an HDMI cable and two front bookshelf speakers connected to the receiver via banana plugs. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Your receiver is perfectly useable with a phono preamp, dedicated to that purpose. While it's true, most manufactures have done away with phono inputs, as well as the phono preamp inside, these aftermarket preamps were made for exactly this situation. As said above, use the red and white cables coming from your turntable and plug them into the input of the preamp. The output of the preamp goes into any analog input of your receiver. BE SURE to change the input of whatever jacks you're plug in into, through the assignment of that input, to analog. You can look up the procedure in your owner's manual, or online.
The preamp is designed to 1. increase the gain(output) of the magnetic cartridge to an aux input level and 2. provide the RIAA equalization needed to properly correct the equalization, to that of a turntable, which is different that any other input you have available.
Hope you follow all of that.

Hip shot: No one let's you record digital audio onto analog equipment (yet).

On looking at Page 26 of the manual, that is verified. (See the Notes). Use only the analog audio and it will probably work for you. The A/D switch decides which you will use.

Speaker volume is too low in my turntable setup. How can I fix it?

remove rca plugs from speaker wires and wire the speakers to speaker connections on the back of receiver. The receiver may already have a phono input for a turntable.

My 1974 panosonic turntable has a low volume out of the receiver.

Are you sure you are going into a phono preamp? Turntables cannot work correctly if connected to the receiver's aux or tape input as they require much more volume boost which the phono input privides. Not many newer receivers have a phono input but an external phono preamp can be added (usually under $20)

My receiver works fine when I plug my iPod into it, but when I plug my turntable in I can't get any sound. Any idea?

The phono cartridge on your turntable puts out a much lower level signal than your iPod. Back when turntables were popular, all receivers had a special phono input to take care of that. Your modern HK receiver does not have a phono input, so you need to get an external phono preamp. Plug the turntable outputs into the phono preamp inputs, then plug the phono preamp outputs into one of the audio inputs on the HK, like where you connected the iPod.

The sound is really low if i press the aux tape cd phono or vcr the sound is there but really low

Instructions:
Evaluate your current receiver. Take a look at the back-panel connections to make sure you don't have a phono input. In most cases, the phono input will be clearly marked. If the connections are not marked, look for a set of RCA-style inputs with a grounding screw next to them; this is a phono input. If there isn't a phono input on your receiver, see if you have an open set of RCA inputs. If they are all occupied by other equipment, you can disconnect one piece of equipment, buy an A/V switcher or get a new receiver--preferably one with a phono input.
2 Purchase a phono preamp. The voltage output of a turntable is much lower than those of other peripheral devices, including CD players, tape decks and game systems. Although the inputs look the same, connecting a turntable to a standard RCA audio input will result in very faint sound output, if you hear anything at all. The output of your turntable must be amplified to a level of about 150 millivolts (mVs) before it reaches the receiver, so a turntable "pre-amplifier" or phono preamp is necessary.
3. Purchase patch cables. You'll need a set to run from the preamp to your receiver. Measure how long your cables need to be, and purchase accordingly. Resist the temptation to "go cheap," because better-quality cables will provide better sound.
4. Connect the preamp into the system. First plug the preamp into an AC power outlet. Most models have a small AC-to-DC adapter built into the plug. Then connect the cables from the turntable to the preamp, and connect your new patch cables from the preamp to the receiver.
5. Adjust the gain of the phono preamp. Most models have a gain control for fine-tuning. Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer and adjust your system accordingly.

How do i attatch preamp to marantz sr9200 for phono

If you are talking about a phono preamp, take the output rca cables from the turntable, "red and white" plug it into the preamp input, "labled" next take a red and white cable wire male ends, "3 to 6" feet long, and plug the one end in the output of the preamp, "labled" and finally plug the remainder into the AUX input of the Marantz receiver matching the colour codes so the left and right channels don't get mixed up, you now should be good to go.

Trying to hook-up a turntable to sr880. which input works best? also think the receiver is muted, how do i unmute the system?

Is it Marantz???? The Marantz 880 doesn't have an input for PHONO. A traditional turntable will require a PHONO preamp between it and any Line Level input on the receiver.

Muted? Look at the front panel for clues. Maybe sure no tapes or unattached inputs are selected. Try the test tones to prove it works.

Selecting phono preamp for Onkyo HT-R510

The magnetic cartridge preamp should work with the turntable, as presumably it will have a magnetic cartridge in it. The only reason that the amp states "magnetic" is that some very old turntables have ceramic cartridges which should not be connected to that terminal. Even if the turntable had a "ceramic" it could be replaced with a magnetic one!

Marantz SR-630, Speaker Hookup

RB BR top row is A speaker connections (from the rear)
right +- -+ left and the row below is the B speaker connections in the same manner. Check that you have not plugged your audio source device into the Phono preamp as this will definatly produce "overdrive" Only a turntable should be plugged into the Phono input, and in saying that, there are some turntables about these days that have an preamp built in line > If yous has then it should be connected to anything other than the Phono input. Any more questions, hit me back here and i will try to help you.
