Does a Crosley CR49 have an output?
It is far from a decent turntable. It's made to look slick and stylish, while sacrificing quality and durability. If you are looking to use this as a portable player and lug your vinyl around, I suppose it would suit you, otherwise stay the heck away from Crosley. For a quality turntable, hit up you local thrift shops and look for early 80's turntables with names like Dual, Theorens, Stanton, Technics, etc. They are made much better than any Crosley and will likely outlive all of Crosley's cheaper players. Get a new needle for it and you've got a great turntable for around $50 ($10 for player, $40 for needle) as opposed to spending around $80 for the Crosley. Check out some of the reviews on Amazon, although I stay away from all Crosleys, the CR49 seems to have recieved an unusually large amount of negative feedback (lots of customers say the "wood" in the picture is little more than cardboard.)
How can you hook up speakers to a Crosley record player?
"Aux" is a line-level input, not an output. It is there to accept signals from a CD player, iPod,or other external source. Considering that Crosley record players are complete junk, there is really no point in connecting external speakers to it. The built-in amplifier, capable of 2 or 3 watts output at the most, won't properly drive a decent speaker anyway. A good turntable, receiver, and bookshelf speakers made in the 1970s would easily outperform the piece of crap you are using, and would probably cost far less. Go to estate and garage/yard sales, swap meets (including those for amateur radio!), thrift stores, and anywhere else you might think of to 'shop' for vintage stereo equipment. If possible, take along an audio expert to help you. Test every item fully before buying.
Why does the sound from my Crosley record player sound weird?
I just got a Crosley Cruiser record player. The sound sounds really muffled, kind of like if you were to play music in your phone but cover the speakers with your hand. It's not a clear sound. I have a cheaper record player that sounds much clearer. I've heard other Crosleys and the sound was much better. What could be causing this? Is it typical of Crosleys?
I have a Crosley Rochester 5-in-1 turntable CR66, and my CD player doesn’t recognize any of the discs. Is there a way to fix this?
The manual says you put the disc in and if there isn’t one in, it’ll say 00 on the screen where it should display the # of tracks. I put a disc in and the 00 comes up. I’ve put in literally every single cd I’ve owned in a desperate hope that it’ll start working. Is there anyway to fix this on my own or am I ******?
Crosley turntable grease leak?
My girlfriend and I recently purchased a Crosley portable turntable, and it works wonderfully, but lately we've seen some white creamy substance emitting from the center of the turntable itself, at the base of the prong in the middle. We think it's white lithium grease but are not sure. Is this a problem? If so, how can we fix this?
What do I need to hook up my turntable to my speakers?
Unless your amplifier has a "Phono" Input, you do need a pre-amp. As is true with a Microphone level signal, a Phono signal is low level and needs to brought up to Line Level to go into the "Auxiliary" or Aux ports of an amplifier. I don't mean to suggest that Mic Pre-amps and Phono Pre-amps are the same or interchangeable, but any older amplifier will have this pre-amp built in, as "vinyl" (or other disc recordings that employ a stylus - needle - to ride grooves in the disc to produce sound) was for many years the standard for reproducing music or other sound. But many newer amps are expecting either a digital signal or at least line-level analog inputs. Here is a discussion and some examples: http://www.amazon.com/gp/richpub/syltgui... Hope this helps... Good luck!
