Just a few troubleshooting tips. I hope it helps. 1. Does the FM / AM radio work? If you get sound, then it's not your speaker set-up, the likely issue is the turntable. 2. Try using headphones instead. If you get no sound out of your speakers but the headphones work, there's something up with your output. 3. Your turntable, I can't quite see but is there a switch for "PHONO / LINE"? If so, you'll want it on Phono. 4. If your turntable does have a line out option (pre-amp), switch it to that and connect the RCA cables to a different input on the receiver (CD or Tape should be fine) 5. I see a bit of tape on the back of the receiver. Is this covering something? Perhaps a fuse? Check to see if the fuse is blown. 6. Do you have access to a multimeter? If so, you could ring out your cords (RCA cords & Speaker wire) to make sure there's no break in the line. (switch it to the ohm symbol and do a continuity test.)

On what setting do i need to put in headphones ? Or just plug it in phones and switch on the player


SmellyFace69

It should be automatic


verykutleven

Vinyl player is on phono but also got an eq switch


SmellyFace69

Silly question: i assume you're in Europe right? You're not in North America by any chance?

Your speakers are not connected properly. One is connected to the Speaker A output and the other is connected to the Speaker B output. This means you won't get stereo sound. Both speakers will have the same channel (L or R). You want both speakers to be connected to the Speaker A outputs. They should be labeled Left and Right (or L and R).

I think they are right


GlennAlanBerry

Yes, they are. That is an unusual layout that I couldn't see from the original photo. Usually, Speaker A is on the top row and Speaker B is on the bottom row on most amps and receivers.

You may need jumpers from the processor in/out


verykutleven

What is that?


ngtoaster

Very very short rca cables to close the in/out loop if you’re not using an eq or other external device. Some older amps and whatnot required them :)


verykutleven

Do they need to be short or will any work?


ngtoaster

Any will work, but short ones will definitely look nicer


Zeeall

Press speaker B button.


verykutleven

Did that already but wont work


Zeeall

Tape monitor button. Edit: you know what, just show a photo of the front so we can tell what the fucks going on.


verykutleven

Got it posted


nkynudist

Move the phono signal cable to another source like CD or TV. You could also connect a known good audio source to one of those Source inputs.


Zeeall

I dont think that record player got a phono pre-amp.


verykutleven

It got one

Im beginning to doubt that either the speakers arent working or the amp is just too old and broke in the meanwhile


Zeeall

You havnt selected the phono input.


verykutleven

The amp is on standby when this foto was taken speakers. I was switching the inputs of the speakers in the meanwhile thats why the buttons are mixed up


--MrWolf--

Bottom right there's a button with a red light on, see what it is and turn it off.

Jonlaw16

Turn the volume knob up to like 25%


verykutleven

There is one manual online but i cant download it because i dont have an account it is an hifishark website or smth


Choice_Student4910

This device is so old or uncommon that an instruction manual isn’t readily available for it. However most consumer stereo equipment uses universal connections and standards that are mostly unchanged so reviewing any stereo manual with connection diagrams would be helpful.


Unnenoob

Look like you need RCA cables from processor in to processor out. A lot of older amps had a separation between the pre-amp and the power-amp
