Asked 1 year ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer Hello, more details on the subwoofer are necessary to give you a definite answer. However, this will work if you have a powered subwoofer with left and right RCA input, either by using a single RCA cable to the Left input on the subwoofer or a Y splitter adapter.

Q: QuestionCan I hook up my phono turntable to this receiver?

Asked 1 year ago by Cliff.

• A:Answer Hello. Yes - you can hook up your turntable to the M-CR612. If your turntable does not have a built-in phono pre-amp, you will need to purchase an optional phono pre-amp. This would sit between the turntable and the M-CR612.
