"Does the AUX input include the red and white L/R input"I just looked at this unit at Costco (I don't own one) and the answer is yes. It has two cables feeding from the rear: one USB cable and one standard RCA cable, like you mention. What's strange is a lot of posts about this product say it has a minijack cable only and no USB or RCA, however I just saw with my own two eyes the USB and RCA cables. They must've updated the model. And, yes, the model I saw was the LP2D, which is how I ended up here reading reviews for the product. Just make sure you can return if they send you the older model.

yea... maybe we should put up an award for answering our question... how about we both chip in 100 bucks. I bet you by tomorrow morning we'll have dozen new answers!I want this thing badly, but if I can't listen to it NORMALLY using my stereo... then I'm not going to buy it. While I want to rip my LPs into MP3s, I also want to listen to them FROM the turntable.

yes I believe turntable with a usb connection will work just fine. the older styled one's may not as the inputs may not be ont the system. I really like this stereo for I can play cd's and not have to change them so often. Hope this helps

You can record straight through the USB. Nifty little thing.But beware, its more of a mixer than a traditional interface, so it doesn't split the tracks you may have already laid down from the new ones you're recording. So basically, EVERYTHING you can hear it in your monitor mix, it's going to be on the track you're currently recording. So if you're recording something live, its perfect. If you're tracking something, not so much...

Kevin... I don't think you can wire a turntable directly into speakers, without some sort of amplifier/preamp between them. The signal will probably be far to weak to be usable. I hope this answers your question. Best of luck!

I do not have turntable, but there is a phono input to the receiver. I would think most all turntables would connect up to that without a pre-amp being needed...

Hi Sally I connect my turntable to my stereo input and stereo goes to a sound jack in my computer. I think this is better than using the Alesis adptor.I tried one and sent it back.Try using your stereo and let me know, Doug in Carlsbad Ca.

I would suggest to research here http://www.numark.com/supportI got it for my brother who later upgraded to a full DJ deck. Unfortunately won't be able to answer. But it connects to a computer to operate, I assume you could record and save on your PC as an alternative.

It works better connected directly to your turntable. But you can connect it to your receiver, you will have to adjust the gain, and monitor the output volume, and use the line input switch on the adapter.. I've used it connected directly to my turntable, and the files come out perfect!! It sounds just like you were playing it through your receiver. You just have to make sure you connect the ground wire from the turntable to the adapter.. This cuts out the hum.. Great device.. Buy it, you won't regret it..

This turntable model has no pre amp. Therefore it needs a receiver with phono input which provides the necessary boost. Usually only the pricier receivers have this option nowadays. I had to purchase a Denon in the $800-1000 range to get that. Separate preamps are available from Amazon that connect between phono player and aux input however. Read reviews on those.

There are two pure audio inputs so it can be used with both a turntable and CD player connected and also an iPod connected to the USB. However you may need a preamp since both are line level inputs. You can see the manual online to check or just call Yamaha. I had a question for them and they were helpful.

Hey Geron, you can't use that turntable with new receivers. Older receivers had a phono preamp but not the new stuff. There is a headphone jack that you could hook up a speaker to, but I wouldn't suggest it. The jack is a large one, so cables could be an issue. I would get an inexpensive surround sound receiver to link it up. Email me at tundrausher@yahoo.com if you have more questions. Good luck.

Does anyone know if it is possible to simply play an LP on this turntable through the Mac? I see someone has responded with instructions to make it play through a PC with Windows but I am wondering about the Mac...I have good speakers attached to my Macbook and would like to play it through that.

Does your turntable or cassette deck have a USB port? If so, then this cable may likely work for you. If you hope to play audio out, then try and capture it from your computer via the USB port, i'm not sure what software might allow this, if any. http://www.avsforum.com/forum/index.php Avs forums might have more information for you here.

Of course it comes with software. How else would it work? It connects to your computer's iTunes application via a USB connection. Then you can burn your vinyl record to CD, if you wish. Which is what it's for. I suppose you could listen to the vinyl record through your computer's speakers, also. I don't know if there are stereos with USB connections, but there must be. I've never looked into it.

Sorry no RCA Jacks, but I think they make a conversion cable from RCA to USB so you can use your turn table.Or Buy an new turn table with a USB cable output.

You hook it up to your computer via USB or other power sound amplification setup as it can't make noise or music on it's own even if such AC power adapter were to be included. I think they sell amplifiers you can hook it to. I am no sound expert. I have mine hooked to my computer and then the computer hooked to my stereo system.
