Turntable Lenco L3806 cant connect to my Aiwa NSX5909 (8yrs old) as there are no AUX/Tape sockets at the back. Have tried all others (Video/AUX-MD-LineOut) but still no sounds ....... Turntable is supposed to have pre-amplyfier included????? any suggestions please?

Since the turntable itself doesn't have a volume control the problem is with the amp it is connected to. It should be connected to an amp with a dedicated phono socket. It's no use connecting it to a tape or aux or CD socket. These sockets do not have a built in pre-amp for the magnetic cartridge. If your amp doesn't have a dedicated phono socket then you can buy a Magnetic Cartridge Pre-amp that will plug into a tape socket etc on the amp and have the deck plugged into it. If plugged into a none dedicated socket though you can hear it, the volume will be very low compared to other sources. If you have got it plugged into a dedicated phono socket and the volume is still low, then the internal built pre-amp inside your amp for the deck has failed and will need to be repaired. The pre-amp failure will not effect any other functions of the amp.

To stop it jumping you need to increase the weight located on the end of the arm slightly then test play a record, if it jumps you increase the weight again slightly and test again. Repeat till it stops. If it rumbles decrease the weight.

As for the sound. You need to find out if the deck uses a magnetic cartridge or some other type. If it uses a magnetic cartridge it will have to be connected to an amp with a Magnetic Cartridge Pre-amp built in. Or you will need to purchase one (pre-amp that is) if it has not got one. This can be then be plugged into a standard jack socket.
If it does not use a magnetic cartridge, don't put it one marked for "phono". Instead put it in a tape, aux or cd socket.

Has the amp got a dedicated phono socket for the turntable? If you are using a tape or aux socket it might not have the pre-amp needed to hear the deck. If your amp doesn't have a socket for the deck, you will need a magnetic cartridge pre-amp.

Also check the connections to the cartridge, they might have come loose.

How new is the turntable. It may only have a USB connection if it is a newer turntable. What is the model #

The Aiwa PX-E860EZ does. I couldn't find anything on the PXE10 though. Plugging it into a tape or aux or CD socket on an amp will soon confirm it. The sound (if it has one) will be normal. If it hasn't it will be very low, but hearable.

Hi!
You can play audio equipment like turntable, MD player, mobil phone ( headphone output). You must connect the equipment to the Video/AUX jack, Press Video/AUX then play the connected equipment.

Do you mean AiWa Z-L30?

Generally speaking, if a device doesn't have an input specifically marked "PHONO" it does not have the requisite PHONO preamp for an old-school turntable.

Aiwa plays a word-game on this device and labels an input "Phono" while specifying on page 20 of the manual that you should use a turntable with a built-in EQ Amplifier. In other words, the input should have been labeled a second "AUX IN' as it will accept any sound device that has a Line Level output, not just Phono.

So yes, you need a self-PRE-amplified TT with this product.

Hello,

hi,, please check your RCA cable...or replace it possible...

I've been recording LPs for over a year now.

I've got the turntable outputs plugged into the phono inputs on the receiver amp.

I'm taking the Y cord (pair of RCA connectors at one end, mini plug at other) from the Tape Record (these are what you'd use to send a signal to the tape deck for recording) on the amp to the "line in" on the sound card. You may want to look up the specs on your sound card to make certain that you've got the plug in the correct socket. There may be a "line in" and a "microphone" socket. Use the "line in"

What recording software are you using? Audacity is free and is ok. I'm using Goldwave (costs ~$50) and highly recommend it. MUCH better than any other package I've tried. Just google "goldwave" to find it.

The recording software should have an option for selecting / specifying a source. If you have "microphone" selected and the y cord going into the "line in" socket, yoiu won't get anything.
