How do you hook a record player up to a sony home theater system that is only 3 years old?

Question

I tried connecting the red and white plugs into the red and white dvd holes in the back of the home theater system

is there anyway to hook it up?

Answer 1

You need a special hook up for phono or it will not work.
If your home theater does not have one then you can go to Radio Shack and buy a special device for phono hook up, tell them you need to get a pre-amp hook up for phono connection to your receiver.

Answer 2

You need a RIAA phono stage pre-amp between your player and the HT system - output of the record player is too low for HT or any other line level pre-amp to work with.

Depending on a cartridge, you either need a MM (moving magnet) or MC(moving coil) phono stage.

You can buy one on the net - new price ranges from (what I could find) $75 to $15,000.

Here is one for $75 http://www.musicdirect.com/products/detail.asp?sku=ABELVP29

decrease back contained in the days many audiophiles used "pre-amps" with their phonograph turntables, to advance the point of output, if their receiver did no longer have a outfitted-in phono enter pre-amp, for list gamers. An exterior achieveable be extra on your component gadget, once you've separate elements, plug it into the wall, upload your pink/white cables from the list participant (audio enter), and then have yet another set to run from the pre-amp out on your receiver enter. Make experience?
