How do you connect a stereo RCA phono cable from your turntable to a 3.5 mm line in can this even be done?
Schalm
A 3.5 mm input is a line level signal, and a turntable has a phono level signal. You can connect these, but you will need a phono preamp to go in between the two. An RCA cable plugs into to the preamp from the turntable, and an RCA to 3.5mm cable connects the preamp to the stereo.

How do you connect a Toshiba laptop to a Sony mini-audio system?
Computers normally have a 3.5mm jack socket as an audio output. Most stereo systems have phono (RCA) connectors for signal inputs. To connect a laptop to a stereo system you will need a 3.5mm jack to RCA lead. They can be purchased in most electronics stores or on line. Most audio systems have a selection of inputs. If there is a choice, you can use any input that is marked "aux", "line in", "CD", "DVD", "Tape". If there is an input marked as "phono" that will be the one input that you cannot use successfully.
What do you need to play records on a home theater system?
First you need a Phonograph. Phonographs (record players) can be connected to a stereo or A/V surround receiver using a pair of standard red/white stereo audio cables. The important thing to understand is that many record players do not amplify the signal, which means you need a pre-amp or "phono amp" somewhere in the mix to get your sound. Check to see if your record player has a built in pre-amp. If not, your A/V receiver needs a dedicated phono input with a built in pre-amp.
Can you substitute video cable for audio cable?
Assuming the video cable has the right connectors, probably RCA type (phono connectors) then it can be used for audio signals. In fact, some high end audio interlinking cables use video cable because it is claimed that they work better than standard audio cable. (Note that this is the subject of fierce debate among audiophiles and there is no proof that video cable is an improvement on audio cable for audio signals) Using audio cable for video can also be done up to a point. For short connections, up to a few feet or a couple of metres, an audio cable will work just fine. As the length of the lead increases, the cable will begin to interfere with the video signal and cause loss of definition or ghost images. Substituting the cables will not cause damage to equipment, so it is safe to try it. If it looks or sounds like it works, then it works!
Which connectors are used for digital SPDIF audio?
S/PDIF is the domestic digital audio standard, developed by Sony and Philips. It is normally carried on a copper cable using RCA (phono) connectors or with an optical fiber using TOSLink connections. Both interfaces carry the same data and can be considered equivalent to each other. One does not offer better quality than the other.
Sony Str De 597 Connect the receiver to the subwoofer speaker?
At the rear of the receiver there is a single RCA jack (phono socket) that is marked "audio out" and "sub-woofer". This is a mono feed that can be connected to a powered sub bass unit. It will not drive an un-powered bass speaker that does not have an internal amplifier. If the bass speaker is not powered, the audio out from the receiver can be taken to a single channel of another amplifier and the bass speaker then connected to the speaker output of the amplifier.

I connected my Pyle pro plttb1 turntable to my samsung ht-ds610 and it was extremely quiet. I tried a CD and it was fine. Why was the turntable so quiet?
That receiver almost definitely does not have a "phono" input. This is a special input that was on older receivers that provided much more amplification than a "CD", "Tape", or "AUX" input. It also applied special "RIAA Equalization" to the signal so that the records would sound right. You need to buy a "phono pre-amp" in order to connect your turntable to your receiver. They are available at most audio/video stores. You simply plug the turntable into the into the pre-amp's input and then connect the pre-amp's output to an unused input on your receiver (eg. "CD", "Tape in" or "AUX").

Just sold the family 1965 RCA Victor console stereo that was six feet long and had a radio, turntable, phono jack socket, and record cabinet in January 2011 for $75, but it had some operation issues. My guess is between $75 and $125 depending on the features and condition.
What is a mono phone cable?
Usually when people talk about a phone cable or a phono cable they mean a 1/4" cable. Mono mean that it only caries one signal with it (a hot signal and a ground, Or + and - ). Thus it has two pins on it. A stereo cable would have three pins so it could have two separate sounds (one for each ear). They call them phone cables or phono cables because i believe they used to use them in the old phone switchboards in the past. So get a 1/4" male mono cable.
Can you connect an electric guitar to a stereo for amplifier effects?
Yes you can, go to radio shack and get a 1/8 adaptor to the size of plug from your guitar and plug it into a mike jack on the back of your amplifier, but if you dont have that type of jack in back you probebly have phono in jacks instead, so just get a phono to the guitar size instead of a 1/8". Look for the type of jack on the stereo and it will say mike-in or aux in.

Can you use computer speakers on MicroKORG synthesizers?
Yes. You will a good set of powered speakers as there's a lot of bass in the microkorg output. (Consider using your hifi to get a better result) You will need an adapter cable as most PC speakers have a 3.5mm stereo input jack, while the microKorg has a stereo 1/4 headphone jack and a pair of 1/4 mono jacks for left and right line output. Options are: 1: Get a stereo 3.5mm jack to stereo 1/4 jack adapter and use the headphone output on the microkorg. 2: Get a 3.5mm stereo to dual phono adapter cable and then a pair of phono to 1/4 mono jack adapters. Remember to turn all the volume controls down before you switch on/off!
