You may variably have on old ceramic cartridge, instead of a magnetic cartridge. The output of these cartridges have a much higher level voltage than that of a magnetic cartridge, your receiver is normally to receive. thus distorting the phono preamp in your receiver. Check the cartridge first, before wasting allot of effort needlessly.
This sounds like a wiring problem. Perhaps a faulty earth connection inside the lead or the plugs to and from the turntable. Also check the connections to the cartridge, they can become loose or be connected wrong. Say a channel to the earth connection.

If the unspecified Sony has a "PHONO" input you should be good to go. What model?
"PHONO" is the only designated connection on an audio device that is literal and exclusive. Nothing but PHONO will work right on it and old-school turntables would require it to preamplify and frequency-correct the tiny current produced by a Phono cartridge. Look up RIAA equalization.
If your unit doesn't have a PHONO connection AND your TT doesn't have a self-contained preamp you will have to get a Phono Preamp to connect between the TT and any Line Level input, like Aux.
eBay always has some...

Yes. It needs to have Line Level (slightly amplified or pre-amp'd) before your home theatre system can 'hear' it.

This model has built in preamp. Try AUX input. The 2 preamps are the issue I think.
