Comments on: I just got an old turntable. The Output looks like the audio you put into a TV… Should that work? http://antiquerecordplayers.info/i-just-got-an-old-turntable-the-output-looks-like-the-audio-you-put-into-a-tv-should-that-work.htm Wed, 23 May 2012 08:03:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: cabbiinc http://antiquerecordplayers.info/i-just-got-an-old-turntable-the-output-looks-like-the-audio-you-put-into-a-tv-should-that-work.htm/comment-page-1#comment-5571 cabbiinc Wed, 28 Apr 2010 21:58:06 +0000 http://antiquerecordplayers.info/i-just-got-an-old-turntable-the-output-looks-like-the-audio-you-put-into-a-tv-should-that-work.htm#comment-5571 I think you are talking about RCA plugs. Usually ones red and ones white, left and right, and if you ever see one with a third its yellow for video. If you have a volume on your turntable then hooking it up to the red and white leads should work. If your TV only has two and one of them is yellow then your TV is not stereo and the yellow is for video, DONT PLUG INTO THAT. If however your turntable doesn't have a volume adjustment then you might have too weak of a signal for your TV to recognise. 1:plug it into red and white intputs on the TV. The color of the actual cable doesnt matter, the color coding is for keeping things straight. 2: make sure your TV is set to video input or something other than a regular channel. If you have AV1 and AV2 and any others try them all. 3: try turning the volume up and down on the turntable, sometimes if they sit a while the volume controls can get rusty for lack of a better word. Turn the knob while while the TV is on. 4: if your record is about the size of a dinner plate its 33 RPM (revolutions per minute). If its the size of a saucer its 45. 5: if you suspect the needle as defective, DONT USE IT!!! It will damage any record it comes in conntact with. Happy troubleshooting :D I think you are talking about RCA plugs. Usually ones red and ones white, left and right, and if you ever see one with a third its yellow for video.
