Lack of signal to amp on turntable

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

'Splitting' leads is never the best way to distribute a signal. The best solution is to use the parallel inputs of the Yamahas to chain them together: mixer to amp1, amp1 to amp2, amp 2 to the Cloud. You should only need to use one input on the Cloud to drive all the channels, using the input switches at the rear.

Let me know if you need any clarification on this.

YES, you can not only connect a turntable but also a VCR or DVD player or other analog audio sources using either of the top two RCA INPUT jacks on your unit. Now, for a turntable, you will need to buy a pre-amp because typically a turntable provides too low a signal level for most components to handle. These pre-amps cost $35 and up. Most turntables do not provide a pre-amp. Usually an amplifier or receiver will contain the pre-amp and have PHONO inputs specifically for a turntable. So you are correct, you need a pre-amp of some kind. Be sure to select the inputs on your Sony where you connected the turntable when you want to play records. Hope this helps.

I assume that you're talking about the output from the 2 RCA Phono Jacks? Does this turntable output a "Line Level" signal, or a standard millivolt level 'turntable signal'? If it is an older 'standard turntable', then you need to run it into an amplifier that has a "PHONO" input and ground wire. This will amplify the tiny signal to a 'line level' signal that you can record or run to a computer, etc. If you do not have an older amplifier with "PHONO" input jacks, then you need to buy a separate stand-alone 'phono amp/preamp' that will boost your (tiny 10mv) turntable cartridge levels high enough (.5 to 1 volt) to record on another device. Let me know if that is the case. Good luck.

I imagine your FM and any other sources suffer from the same lack of a front speaker function.

Page 43: "Press the A Speakers on the front panel repeatedly to turn on or off the set of front speakers...."

The most common cause of this is due to the lack of a phono input. The inputs on modern amps/receivers are line level. Turntables produce a lower signal level requiring a phono pre-amp to get to line level. Purchase a phono pre-amp and connect it between the turntable and the amp. That should resolve the problem.

Fasten the ground to one of the metal screws that hold the metal(?) cover on.You want to connect it to the metal frame of Onkyo.

Get an external pre-amp. They range in price from 25-100 and more, depending on the capabilities. All over Ebay, and electronics sites. That will fix your problem. Hope this helps

First you must determine if the mic's output from the receiver is low or high impedence. Tip: high imp. is usually a 1/4" jack , low imp. is a 3 pin XLR Conector. It also depends on your amplifier input jacks.But really you should connect the mic to a mixing console and then connect the console to the amp.But you could connect a high imp. mic via a 1/4" to 1/4",cable into the 1/4" jack on your guitar amp.

Hi, Most notebooks have a 1/8 female plugin from your audio card. (headphone Jack)
Now, you need a cord with a 1/8 male plugin on one end and two RCA Jacks on the other.
All you need to do is connect the cord to (AMP) RCA in and the 1/8 Jack to you notebook.

This will work fine. Good luck
