Hi all. Hope someone can help. I have decided to dust off my technics 1200 record player and connect it to my rx-v473 amp. I am guessing I need a pre amp to do this and was hoping someone could confirm this and recommend a good unit to use and also is there a preferred channel on the amp to use.
Thanks in advance

If your Yamaha lacks a "phono" input that means your need a phono stage, MM or MC. You can then put it to any analogue input. Probably best to use pure direct mode as well.

No phono input so does that mean there is no preout apart from the sub out ? Also excuse my ignorance but what is MM and MC. Thanks

Phono input is a phono stage input, it's usually moving magnet for AVR's.

Pre-outs are the stereo, or multi-channel variable output that is relative to master volume.
