A:AnswerHi katieMae, The receiver has a PHONO input that is designed for turntables. You may refer to page 15 of this link:

A:AnswerHi FreqeuencyResponse, It's 10 Hz – 100 kHz, +0.5/–2 dB (with BASS = 0 dB, TREBLE = 0 dB). You may refer to page 37 of this link:

A:AnswerI purchased this unit and am running Thorns turntable, reel to reel, dual cassette deck and Denon CD player. Also running an old Kenwood EQ hooked to unit. Speakers are Cerwin Vega 3way 12” 250 watt. The unit dose not have Main out and inputs so you have to hook to tape in and out for EQ. Far as the bass response well, the unit is built on old school principles I’d say so the size of your woofers and power needed to run them would make a great deal of difference in sound. But, even at low volumes running large speakers the bass response was as I would expect, I do cut back on the treble settings. Clarity is very good but if your looking for booming bass I’d hook a 3way 12 inch speaker system that would run off lower watts to get bass desired at low volume. I myself have found no problem even without EQ at low volume.
Basically I bought this receiver to operate turntable and 4 ohm speakers, dose exactly what I wanted but be warned I’m old school and like loud music so if I’m listening to music on low volume, I’m really not listening. Hope this answered your questions.
A:AnswerYou can stream musics from your iPhone, but not connect the bluetooth earphones. If you buy a bluetooth transmitter and connect it to the rca ports of the unit, you can use your bluetooth earphones as well.
A:AnswerThere isn’t a sub woofer hook up on this receiver. But if you have inputs on rear of sub for main in and speakers out it can be done coming off a speaker connection on rear of receiver.
A:AnswerYes, this can be bypassed by correcting the problem. Protection is there to protect you and your equipment. Fix your wires or replace your damaged speakers. Problem solved!
A:AnswerHi Goody, It supports FM radio. You may refer to this link for more information (Tuner):

A:AnswerI will also add that you can label the various inputs. I was concerned that they would stay generic when selecting; e.g., Input 1, Input 2, etc. So when you connect your CD player, you can relabel that input to be CD.
A:AnswerWell I’ve never attempted that but I would say yes because you are not hooking power source to power source right. Your speakers supply power so you do not want to hook to speaker output because it supplies power. Tape runs both reel to reel and cassette decks both of which really deliver little power but, I would simply hook to headphone jack.
A:AnswerI have this reciever and that dose not occur with mine so something is wrong. Are you hooked to phono with your turntable, I’m sure you are but, if turntable has a built in amp switch, some do. Turn that off on your turntable.
A:AnswerIt's good for sending music from your phone or laptop to your living room stereo system. If you have decent stereo components like a turntable and cd player as well as traditional wired speakers, this allows you to keep those and add music from your phone or computer.
