Hi, my grandparents had a turntable and I've just discovered it with a vinyl collection. I want to know how to connect my Sanyo model JA 220 Amp to Pilot speakers. The speakers have a lead coming out of it with a long pin and another slightly shorter. Failing that, do I need to buy new speakers?
To connect your Sanyo JA 220 amplifier to your Pilot speakers, you will need to use speaker wire. You will need to use one pair of wire for each speaker. Here is a general outline of the steps you can follow to connect your amplifier and speakers:
Locate the speaker wire input terminals on the back of your amplifier. These will typically be labeled "Speaker Output" or "Speaker Terminals."
Identify the positive and negative terminals on your speakers. These are usually marked with a "+" and "-" symbol, respectively. The positive terminal is usually the one with the longer pin.
Cut two lengths of speaker wire, one for each speaker. Strip the ends of the wire to expose the bare wire.
Connect one end of the speaker wire to the positive terminal on the back of the amplifier and the other end to the positive terminal on the back of the speaker. Repeat this process for the negative terminals, connecting one end of the wire to the negative terminal on the back of the amplifier and the other end to the negative terminal on the back of the speaker.
Repeat the process for the second speaker. Make sure that the connections are secure and that the wire is not damaged or frayed.
If your speakers do not have a long pin and a shorter pin, they may use a different type of connector. In this case, you will need to refer to the user manual for your speakers or amplifier to determine the correct way to connect them.
Those two bits of metal are the grounding cables to reduce feedback/noise when playing Vinyl and shouldn't be necessary to still play the vinyl...Pravin's answer is perfect
Your Amp will be having a pair of Phono / AUX input sockets at the rear. Connect the two Red and White cabbles from the Turntable to these sockets. I am unaware of what are Pilot Speakers. regular speakers have a dual colored pair of cables coming from them. they have to be connected to the speakers Connectors at the rear of the Amp. Play a Vinyl Record, select Phono on your AMP, and enjoy your music.

Thanks but the dual pair of cables coming from them have a piece of plastic on the end with 2 bits of metal sticking out of them which I can't connect to the amp. :(
