Q: Will speaker wire without any connectors on the end work with this unit?
A: Yes you can and I did for a while. But the wire ends stick out very close to another part of the connector. I didn't like it at all and got some connectors on eBay and switched to them as soon as possible because otherwise I thought the wires might short out if they moved.
Q: Can I hook a turntable up to this?
A: Yes, this model can be connected to a turntable.
Q: Can you connect this to a turntable?
A: Judging from what I see on the back, there is no dedicated phono input. But, you can connect a turntable, AS LONG AS, the turntable has its own onboard phono preamp. [Most turntables made today already have that]. If you are trying to connect an older turntable, you will have to get a separate preamp in order for it to work. Turntables use a 'magnetic' cartridge and stylus combination. Without the onboard preamp or a dedicated phono section with all that already in the receiver, the turntable will not have enough output to be seriously audible and also would produce bad audio distortion if you tried to push it otherwise.
Q: Would you please let me know if this is enough watts to push some Elac bookshelf speakers?
A: Elac bookshelf speakers are 6 ohm or 4 ohm speakers, depending on the model. This Pioneer receiver has enough power to drive these speakers as long as you are not attempting to simultaneously use a second set of speakers connected to the B speaker terminals. If you plan to power two sets of speakers at the same time, both sets need to be 8 ohm speakers.
Q: What input and output jacks do I use to hookup a turntable?
A: Most turntables use the simple and reliable RCA input and output jacks. Using RCA cables for left and right channel output from your turntable, plug them into the corresponding receiver Phono inputs, as these are pre-amped to inrease your turntable’s signal delivery for the receiver’s amplification circuitry.

Q: Will I be able to hook this up to my TV for my YouTube?
A: The Pioneer Receiver has great RCA audio cable pin insert ports and can probably take your TV audio outputs provided your TV has the audio output capability for RCA pin type audio cable. I run several audio components through mine with no problem. One additional thing is you might have to “patch” the RCA pin-type cable with another audio cable that your TV may need: for instance, when I want to record U Tube audio I patch my iPhone to my system: cable from iPhone audio port (“earbud output port”) with male/female plugs, then RCA pin-type cable to female port on iPhone cable and on Pioneer receiver. Hope this helps. Brian in Denver
A: AM and FM transmission and reception are good where I live in Denver. Your receiver should perform well, so experiment with antenna placements for fun radio reception. Also in my opinion Pioneer is a quality product and should give you years of performance. My other household audio systems are Denon and Marantz, and I chose the Pioneer receiver for a specialized open reel tape system. Hope this helps. Brian in Denver
