The RCA plugs are the Right (red) and Left (white) sound channels. The 3 thin wires are the power connect. It's likely this will only fit one way into the unit, unless you have broken or cut of the connector. One wire will then be the + wire (under 12volts DC) the other - wire and the other earth. As long as the wires don't touch each other all that will have is the turntable will go backwards if the - wire is connected to the plus terminal. The phono plugs reversed will simply switch the left sound coming out of the right channel etc...
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.
hi,
Here is the wiring of the turntable RCA plug ( RCA wire will have 4 connections like red and its outer wire then White and its outer wire.). connect these as follows.
For right channel
Red wire from the turntable to the red center wire of the RCA plug
Green wire from the turntable to the outer wire with red wire of the RCA plug
For left channel
White wire from the turntable to the white center wire of the RCA plug
Blue wire from the turntable to the outer wire with White wire of the RCA plug OK
Hi, Here's a solution to see if you have a problem with either your receiver or turntable. The turntable has 2 RCA's one red for right channel, and one white or black for left channel, which plug into the back of the amplifier.
Unplug both RCA from rear of amplifier.
Plug in a cd or dvd player into those inputs on the amplifier, the sound will be lower but it will give you an indication if the amplifier is ok or not.
If you have sound on both channels left and right then the amplifier is good
If you still only have sound on left channel, then there is a problem with the right channel input on the amp.
If your amp, is good, unplug the cd /dvd player.
Put a record on and start playing the record
Plug the white or black RCA from the turntable into the rear of the amplifier marked left, you should have sound.
now unplug it from the left and plug in into the right red RCA socket, if you have sound the amplifier is working fine.
if there is no sound there may be a problem with the stylus cartridge on the turntable
now lets reverse the test
unplug both RCA from amp.
Plug the red RCA into the left socket on amplifier, if there is sound, turntable is working fine, if no sound there is a problem with either the stylus cartridge or that red RCA cable.
now unplug the red RCA from the left side and plug it into the right side socket
if there is no sound there may be a problem with the stylus cartridge or RCA cable.
The red wire is the right channel, so going back to your amp, get a single phono plug with with the wire exposed, so you can touch the wire. Then remove the turntable connections. With the amp on plug the the lose wire plug into each channel and check if the sound on the right is still low. If it is then there's a problem with the magnetic cartridge pre-amp inside the amp. They are often located near the phono socket on a seperate PC board, but if not just follow the red wire to the main board. Chances are it will be an IC that's failed.
If it has a strong buzz at the back of the amp. Then I should replace the wire between the turntable and the amp. Or the right phono plug that connects to the amp.
plug a red and white rca cable into the back of the turntable and then plug the other end into your phono output at the back of the amplifier.then turn your selector on your amplifier to phono.wowla you should have sound
The red/white plugs on the cable are called "RCA jacks", you'll need to get an adapter which will convert the rca jacks into one stereo pin jack to plug into the input jack of your computer
