How do you connect a turntable through a home theatre system with no grounding pin?
I have a Technics direct drive turntable and a Sony 5.1 home theatre in a box setup.
My guess is that you do not have a turntable input. That is how most receivers are these days (which is a very stupid omission on the part of the manufacturers). If that is the case with yours, our going to have to buy separate a turntable preamp to go between the turntable and one of the inputs on the receiver. Phono inputs included on receivers are SPECIFICALLY AND ONLY designed for turntable use, nothing else. Failure to do so will result in almost no sound from the turntable and LOTS of hum and other noise. Your best bet is to go to a store that specializes in DJ sound equipment to get the separate pre amp. I had to do the very same thing because my receiver has no phono input. Most of these separate preamps, like the one I bought, will take care of ALL the hook up issues ;sound boosting, grounding, etc. Any decent DJ salesman at the store should be able to answer most of your questions.
