Denon DRA-275R I have owned this receiver for many years and really like its sound and all its features, esp. the phono input which is missing from so many receivers these days. Anyway, it was working great until recently when I went to turn it on, and it did not turn on. what are some things to look at to find out how to fix it?

You need a 3,5mm male stereo connector to RCA male jacks (see attached image). Plug the 3.5mm jack to your iPhone and the RCA jacks (red & white or red & black) to your Denon Receiver's CD in or Tape 1 or 2 PB (at the rear of the unit). Then select the input where you plugged the RCA to (front of receiver: CD / Tape-2 / Tape-1). Hope this will help.

If main fuse is blown then you have shorted output transistors

If you mean a sa control center for source selection, volume and tone control, yes, but NOT for a turntable (no PHONO).

Controlled audio goes emerges from the pre-out. Page 9.

But you could still use its own speaker terminals if your exxternal amp has is remote or has its own volume control to match it up with other speakers.

Check on the back of the unit for a switch marked "channel step" or something similar.Usually close to the anntena socket or connection.When you find it switch it to the alternative position.This should solve your problem.

Anything that has a headphone output can be adapted to feed an RCA cable pair for standard stereo to any audio device with a standard RCA input. Get a cable like the one described here:

and connect it into any available analog input EXCEPT "Phono". Turn the MP3 player volume up.

It is an analog STEREO-only receiver so it is NOT compatible with multichannel or even digital audio. The TV is irrelevant.

Phono inputs are designed for turntables only. Any other device will provide too high a signal for that input to handle. The phono input has an extra amplification stage built in. The distortion is because of the high suignal level being supplied to the input. The only way to get this to work properly is to purchase an antenuator which will decrease the signal level to the phono level.
