kk it is the kxi semi automatic turntable system i think its made by sears.
im trying to hook it up to a jvc rx5020
and i might go to my local antiques store and thrift shops today. could this tt be hooked up to any old school reciever or do i need a pre-amp?


ps it did not come with a manual it is a 70s or 80s model and i bought it like that

kk I'll bite. Does the turntable have rca (red/white)connectors? Does the receiver have rca (red/white) inputs on the back labelled phono? If so you're good to go unless something else is wrong with either device. k?

[nesster97]

nope no phono on the back and the tt has the rca cabels comming out the back

Trying to hook up my tt with rca cables at the back of the tt. where can i hook this up to a jvc rx 5020 reciver?

You can't. It doesn't have a phono input

You need a stand alone phono preamp. There are plenty available for prices ranging from cheap to "are you serious". Do a google search for phono preamp.

Connect TT to phono preamp.
Connect phono preamp to any unused input on receiver.
Play and listen to vinyl.

If you have RCA plugs on the turntable, and RCA inputs on the receiver, you can usr a separate phono pre-amp between them, and it should work.

Cheers,
Alec
