It sits at the frontmost right corner.</p> <p>- The faster non-tech way :&nbsp;Connect the deck to an amplifier (line in/CD/AUX or similar level input)&nbsp;and listen.<br />If the sound is fine, the preamp is present.<br />If the sound is cold, harsh and at a very low level, the deck has no preamp and will need an amplifier with a&nbsp;phono input.</p> <p>Martin</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/342642.aspxWed, 19 Oct 2011 00:17:36 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:342642StephenRenko0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/342642.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=20&PostID=342642I would like to know if it is possible to hook up the 5500 record deck to any receiver that has DIN inputs? And if so, how do i see it has a pre-amp, or do I just assume it does if it has the DIN inputs?<div style="clear:both;"></div>
