Re: Bought a new turntable, but there is a problem!
No auxillary on this receiver, but there is a video/DAD spot, so thanks for the info, I think I will try that. This Denon is pretty old, over 20 years, and my last Panasonic turntable was close to 40 years old, which is why I went with Panasonic again. It was half the cost of the Technics! I have maybe 400 or so vinyls from the 70's to the early 90's, and like to listen to them now and again!

Does it have a model number?

It's a Denon DRA350. 110 watt! I have Bose 501 speakers.

Re: Bought a new turntable, but there is a problem!
The turntable has a pre-amp, so it can't be hooked up to the phono jack, as they say this will cause distortion. They say to hook it up to the Aux. jack, but there is not such a thing on my receiver/amp. It does have a video hook up, so wondering if that would work? Any thoughts on this. The receiver is a Denon, and the new turntable is a Pioneer.

Get rid of the turntable. If it has a built in preamp, it is junk. Get a used Dual turntable off ebay. Problem SOLVED!

My old amp was a Yamaha, and it was good, but it went bad on me and I replaced it with the Denon. I bought the Denon at a pawn shop and have had good luck with it.

most pre-amp turntables have an off switch, if not? you can still plug it into phono and turn the volume down on the turntable.

Use the Video/DAD input (one red, one white).

You could also use inputs labelled CD, DVD, TV, etc. Pretty much anything but the phono. DAD was companies getting ready to accept digital music - eventually the CD was designated as the primary format.

Denon's DAD inputs might be superior to a typical AUX input. It would also be excellent for a CD (or any of the competing formats back then).

I also have a Denon bought new in 2007 and it does have Aux. inlet. Maybe they stopped putting an Aux. setting on newer models. Is your's newer or older?
