How can I connect an analog turntable to my Pioneer VSX-D710S? Also, do I need a turntable with a built in pre-amp?

You can connect some turntables to the VSX-54TX. The turntable needs to have a built-in phono equalizer; then you can connect it to the Line In connection. See page 26 of the manual for the details. The manual is available on the Pioneer product page: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Home/AV-Receivers/Elite+Receivers/VSX-54TX in the Manuals & Brochures section. The current direct link to the manual is http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pio/pe/images/portal/cit_11221/128163968VSX-54TX%20OPERATING%20INSTRUCTIONS.pdf .

I hope this helps. If you post a comment with the model of the turntable, I may be able to help identify if it has the built-in equalizer.

Hi Starlie

I trust you are well.

Try the attached links for your manual. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pio/pe/vgn/images/portal/cit_11221/49638XRB3004A_200158118307100.pdf

Depends on the turntable. Your turntable would need to have a built-in preamp in order to work.

You'll need a phono pre amp and then you can connect to aux inputs.

On the reciever,

Are you meaning it doesn't have a connection for a turntable, just aux connections etc?
Check if it has a magnetic cartridge pre-amp first, if it doesn't you can get one just put the words: magnetic cartridge pre-amp, into Google to find one. Once you get it that will plug into an aux socket and the turntable into that, so you can hear the sound.

Hi Harpwailer,

I was unable to locate an owner's manual for VSX-D412 on the Pioneer website. I did find a VSX-D411, which I believe is very similar. Since there are no turntable jacks, I would try any set of open analog (RCA cable, like the ones that come out of your turntable and are probably red and white) jacks. Just plug the red cable into the red input jack, and the white into the white. The only thing to be careful of is to make sure that you use the input jacks, since some components (like tape decks) have input and output jacks, so that you can record to/from them.

This will work fine assuming that the output from your turntable is strong enough. Many turntables are designed to go through a pre-amp circuit; if this is the case with yours, you'll know it since the output volume will be very low, even when turned up very high. If this is the case, you'll need to purchase a pre-amp to put in the circuit between your turntable and the receiver, or else buy another turntable that outputs at a higher level (they can still be had rather inexpensively, surprisingly enough!). Also, you'll probably have a ground wire coming out from your turntable as well. You'll need to hook it to a chassis screw on the amp to prevent an electrical hum from being picked up and output through your speakers.

I hope this helps, and good luck listening to your vinyl. If you deem it appropriate, I would appreciate a rating on the help I have provided. Thanks!
