my kids found the vinyl, need receiver with phono jacks

[mcbrian]

I am frustrated with all the new equipment leaving out a phono jack. I want to setup a surround system for video and still connect a turntable for the vinyl. I found a sony unit only to find it is not available. Like to keep the cost below 500. any suggestions.

Does the $500 budget cover electronics only, or the whole setup with speakers and everything?

If you already have a reciever all you need is a phono preamp. There are many affordable models available anywhere from $30-100.

the $500 is just for the receiver, I have a set of 4 bose satilites and a bose sub woofer that I have never hooked up. My current setup is a cable box and DVD player connected to a 42" panasonic plasma.

A Yamaha RX-V659 will fit the bill. http://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-RX-V659BL-Channel-Digital-Receiver/dp/B000F97AFY/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-7012675-3168156?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1193247083&sr=8-1

Denon also makes some of their receivers with phono inputs.
