home theater?
i have a record player hook up in aux my question is can I also hook a tape deck to my home theater?
i will like to buy a tape deck for my home theater but i don’t whant to unhook my record player. can i plug it in a different jack.
You may have noticed that your turntable hooked up to the AUX input required you to have to turn the volume control on your receiver way up to match the volume level of other sources hooked up to it. That is because the signal level coming off a record player is much lower than any other standard source.
See if you have a PHONO input on the receiver and switch your turntable wires over to that instead – it should greatly improve the sound quality.
The answer to your question is “Yes!” First, you must determine if you have a spare input/output set of jacks on your receiver. Sometimes, when there is no TAPE imput, or that one is already in use, you can find a spare VCR 2 (or VCR B) input/output jack-set to use.
Remember though, that most receivers require the selection of a special button or switch for the TAPE MONITOR input to be heard, and this setting often overrides any other input you wish to hear, requiring a separate button-push to de-activate the TAPE MONITOR input. Its confusing, I know, and I’ve had so many panicked phone calls over the years from clients who didn’t know why they couldn’t access other sources all of a sudden: it was because the TAPE input was selected, effectively locking them out of any other source until they disengaged the TAPE input first.
Sheesh! What were those propeller heads thinking all those years?!
Good luck! Thanks for the question.
