What unit? And generally, no, Phono inputs are for Phono only as they have an equalization curve applied to them, as well as having different input sensitivity. The curve is known RIAA Equalization << clickable link |

The curve is known RIAA Equalization << clickable link A Denon 4520, so even by adding a phono preamp is not doable? The only thing you can plug in to a phono input and have it sound ‘normal’ is a turntable, typically with a moving magnet phono cartridge. If you have a turntable, but don’t have a phono input, you can add a phono preamp to any ‘line level’ input (aux, analog, line, etc). It appears the 4520 has a phono input, so what do you want to do with it? You CAN plug a turntable in, but not Bluetooth. Edit: With all of these inputs you can’t find something besides phono to use?  |

A dedicated “phono” input already has a phono preamp in the signal path, so you don’t add another. If you don’t have a turntable (and never plan to), you might as well put some duct tape over that input and forget that it exists. You can’t use it for anything else... 😉 |

View AttachmentThere's an auxiliary input on the front, but I don't want cables hanging from it, don't like how it looks, lol, want to connect it permanently, I have the choice of just connect it there when I want to....right now the bluetooth is connected to the media player input but I am thinking about getting a new cd recorder since it has in and out, the Sony recorder I had stopped recording... Hey, what about the 7.1 input, can I use the left and right input on those.... |

Yup, the 7.1 input can be used for the BT receiver.

Hey, what about the 7.1 input, can I use the left and right input on those.... As mentioned you can use that, but there are about 6 line level inputs that are just stereo. I assume you have the unit I pictured above, look in the center where it says "Audio", there are a bunch of 'pre-labled' inputs like CD, DVD, etc. they are all stereo line inputs and will work. |

Wow - using 6 RCA stereo inputs? I don't suppose one of the things you are inputting to the Denon has its own RCA input and a passthrough...if so...use that. What are the 6 devices you are inputting?

Mark cd to cd input, cassette to dvd input, bluetooth to media player, remember, the others were assignable, already using hdmi, bluray to blueray, apple TV to game, satellite to satellite, those were either analog or hdmi... |

How does using an HDMI input take up on of the analog ones? Or, am I misunderstanding what you are saying. If you have 1 of the 6 RCA input pairs open - you should be able to use them. I am assuming you have the BluRay player and the Apple TV (and likely the satellite) plugged into an HDMI input. So...you should have at least 2 RCA inputs available. Mark |

Hi all, can anything be connected to it, I have not tried it, but would like to connect a bluetooth to it... You can split one pair of R/L rear audio inputs using Y connectors. One pair where both components would not ordinarily be used simultaneously. Bill |

Bill That's what I was thinking, will probably do it with the dvd input, which is being used for the cassette, which I don't listen to often, and it will share the bluetooth, which I don't listen to much in the basement either... |

Th cd player does, but I like the analog connection better...I can always try the Emotiva bluetooth with the digital connection but will see... |

Mark Will check it out, assigning the inputs would ask which one, rca or hdmi...but will check again... I looked at your manual, and it looks like you can take any of your RCA's and relabel them. In other words, just because it says "BluRay" on the RCA - if you have your BluRay plugged into an HDMI input (which I assume you do) - it doesn't mean you can't plug something else into the BluRay RCA. If you do that and re-label it to whatever you want to call it ("Bob", for example"), when you scroll through inputs on the Denon, the input you relabeled ("Bob", for example) will show up. The Denon doesn't know what's plugged into it...it only knows you selected that input. If you have the Apple TV and the BluRay each plugged into an HDMI input, you should have at least 2 RCA inputs open. Mark |

Mark Forget it, I have to choose in the menu which input to use, I won't be doing it every time.....I think I will get splitters for the dvd input and plug both the bluetooth and cassette....then use the media input/output to plug the cd recorder I'm getting soon... |
