playing 33lp's: Can I just plug this into the wall like a radio and play the records?

Yes you can. This deck has a USB cable and two RCA cables. You can plug the cables into you receiver's or amplifier's line inputs. An older piece of equipment might have phono inputs. Do not connect this turntable into the phono inputs as the pre-amplified signal might damage you amplifier or receiver.

You will probably need a cable to pick up the RCA output on your turntable and terminates in a single 1/4" or XLR input for the speakers. I didn't notice an RCA input

Nope, I added extra speakers via the headphones out port. That did help add a little low end. But I'd still caution against buying this unit for vinyl records.

If the unit has a usb, it has its own preamp. I returned this item, the platter is to small for Lp's causing wobble and skip.

In general, no. The output of the turntable's cartridge (the little gadget that is actually in contact with the record) is not strong enough to drive the speakers. Another piece of electronics, called a "preamp", has to go between the two. If the turntable has an integrated preamp then this could be possible. These turntables exist but are rather expensive. Search on Amazon for "turntable integrated preamp" or "fully analog turntable" & be prepared to spend $200 to $1000.

You can hook any pre-amplified sound source (CD, tape, mp3 player) but a record player (phono) usually needs a preamplifier like this: Pyle PP999 Phono Turntable Pre-Amp

Hi Scott yes you can. you may need to use the built in phono pre=amp to do it, but it should work, try it with the usb first

No. You'd need an external preamp if your receiver (or whatever device receiving the turntable output) doesn't have an internal preamp.

You can but you will need an inline turntable amplifier. Otherwise it will be too quiet, the input for it is not amplified in the receiver.

Yes, you can, but it depends on the record player. If it has a built in phono preamp, that takes the level of the signal up to that of a CD player, then you can plug it in. If it doesn't, which is more often the case, you need a separate pre amp. Something like the Behringer might do the trick. Behringer MICROPHONO PP400 Ultra-Compact Phono Preamp

Yes, hook it up using either Aux or a line input. Play everything through it.

I think that you can. The unit does not have specific jacks designated as turntable but it has Aux inputs. This should work.

I believe you're looking for this: http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp;_id=10218&cs;_id=1021804&p;_id=665&seq;=1&format;=2It would let you plug the turntable into anything that has one of those headphone jack-sized audio inputs (for example 99.9% of the computers on the market have those inputs, and also a lot of stereos). Otherwise, yes, they do make speakers that have standard RCA plugs, but why buy new speakers when you likely have a stereo or computer with speakers attached to them already :)

If the receiver does not have a pre-amp section you will get almost no sound from the turntable. Yes, this will work. You will need to put the turntable RCA jacks into the phono input and plug the output from this box into a input into the back of the receiver (CD, line in, or aux or something similar to that) be sure to plug in the power cube and switch the button in the front to phono.

Just plug in, no need batteries. You can use it for LPs 33, 78 and singles 45. It takes CDs and USB, so you can copy from vinyl or CD to MP3.

No. It will only play the records that come with it. They are pretty much indestructable. They are designed for hard play by kids. They love it.

as mentioned and answered before you can run it into the technical pro receiver... I would recommend using an equalizer and run the record player (turntable) into the eq then the eq into the receiver to amplify the signal.. most earlier receivers had an amplified rca input for "phono" that amplifies the signal from a turntable. most newer receivers sometimes don't have this option. you may not get the desired results if the unit does not have a "PHONO" input... you will get better results using something to amplify the signal and shape the sound. more bass, mid and treble to really bring out the sound of your vinyl... DO NOT USE AN EQ IF THE UNIT HAS AN " PHONO" INPUT.. IT WILL OVER AMPLIFY THE SIGNAL AND DISTORT. as mentioned and answered before you can run it into the technical pro receiver...
