A:Answerthere isn't a dedicated turntable input, however if your phonograph/turntable has the red & white RCA plugs you can plug them into the audio3 inputs on the back of the receiver. That's what I did, works fine.
A:AnswerMy understanding is 400 watts if you use 8 ohms speakers. On a 6 ohms system you can get up to 145 per channel. The difference 2 ohms can make! Device comes set from factory at 8 ohms impedance but can be changed to 6 if you do have compatible speakers.
A:AnswerDuring set up, you can manually enhance the output/gain for each speaker. If you want to strengthen the output of the center channel, you do it when using the automatic balancing function. By manually overriding the gain, you can permanently increase the center channel volume.
