Yamaha RX-V550 - connecting a turntable - can I use my Kenwood 4060 as a pre-amp?

Can I use my Kenwood receiver as a pre-amp? Someone said I could run RCA connectors from the Kenwood 'tape out' to one of the stereo inputs on the Yamaha.

No you can not. tape out is line level, turntables produce a small signal and require a preamp to boost to correct level

Testimonial: "Thanks - glad I asked first - pre-amp it is!"

    You're welcome. i like sweetwater.com. i have purchased about $2000.00 worth of audio equipment. They stand behind everything they sell and very knowledgeable about audio equipment. They may be more than you want to spend Ive bout from musicians friend.com also
    Zzzounds.com. I don't work for sweetwater and i do not receive any commission, just a happy customer. their after sale service is the best. Remember you want a phono preamp that is quit as possible. I am old have several boxes of LP,s all played onetime when recording to cassette tape. I prefer the vinyl sound over digital, that is why I like cassette tapes.

SOURCE: Connecting a Yamaha VX7 Subwoofer on my Yamaha HTR 5730 AV Receiver

Hello srqwrk,

You can connect the VX7 to the 5730 using an RCA Y cable like the one shown in the picture below. You get your one connection for the receiver and 2 for the VX7. These are available at any electronics store. Remember that the cable should be long enough to go from the receiver to where subwoofer will be placed.
Hope this helps. Let me know.

SOURCE: Can I still used this equipment

Hi Jerome

You will need either a pre-in pre-out connection on the amp to use, A vcr in/out loop can be used in lieu of a "tape" loop. Or alternatively you can put the EQ in line with the bit of gear you want to EQ. In this day and age, of "many more than stereo" systems, a 2 channel EQ has much less application. Although this seems to "outdate" a piece of gear, most stuff from yesteryear still sounds great, so why stop using it. Good Luck and happy listening. A "FixYa" rating from you would help my profile. I am happy to answer any questions you may still have, put them in here and I shall get back to you.

regards

SOURCE: Yamaha RX-V1200 subwoofer connection to Mirage BPS-150i subwoofer

just connect your subwoofer mono RCA to your amp sub single out rca connector. you do not need to megre all those 4terminals into one. in fact internal circuit of those 4rca are merging inside to one since the sub uses only a single amp. 4inputs was meant for sources with multiple sub out

SOURCE: best hook- up Polk psw10 sub woofer to yamaha rx-v663 receiver

You will not need to y connect your subwoofer, if you have only one RCA sub out on your receiver the other end of the RCA connector cable goes into the left input on most powered subs, there is no loss of signal, the option exist as some receiver do sport a double RCA sub out.

Do I need to connect my older Fisher Turntable to a pre-amp before connecting to my Yamaha RX-V850?

No, you don't need a preamp if your turntable has a moving-magnet (MM) cartridge, it should work as-is! Happy vinyling =]

See page 27 of the manual:

Using turntable (audio technica at-lp 120) with built in pre amp the sound is distorted and broken up. the turntable requests phono turned on to use. Does the receiver have a pre amp or boost signal...

A turn table produces sound voltage in the millivolt range. If you have it connected to a receiver that has a phono input and the turn table is pre-amplified, you are overdriving the receiver and it is clipping the audio and making it sound bad.

How to connect a turntable connected to a yamaha a450 stereo amplifier...can I attache the a450 to the htr-6130 ?

If the turntable is newer kind you can connect it in any Stereo input like CD, VCR , etc.

If the turntable is older model you can only connect it to PHONO input (if amp has one) and make sure earthing cable is connected on Amp

Remember input is only stereo (unless your model has digital input) and select sound effect eg Pro Logic for enhanced sound,

Can you connect a turntable to a denon receiver with no phono input?

Rx-v550 receiver. Can't find a way to make the headphones and speakers on at the same time. Tried setting SP Zone B permanual, and only headphones work.

Generally speaking a receiver will power either the speakers OR the headphones. It is rare for you to be able to have both. The insertion of the headphones interrupts the signal to the speaker section. There are headphone amps available which would allow you to use the tape-out section of the receiver to get a signal to the amp wihtout effecting Zone B.

I want to connect a phono turntable to my RX V550. any suggestions?

No can do without an intervening phono preamp.

Check out eBay for one or, if you still have an older stereo receiver with a Phono input hanging around, use it to preamplify the TT and run an RCA pair from the Tape Out to any available stereo input on your Yamaha.

Turntable connection

Yes, you'll need to purchase a PHONO PRE-AMP, and then connect the turntable to the pre-amp, and the pre-amp to the LINE INPUT of your receiver.
