Would like to know what is required to use a turntable with the 1050. I assume I need some kind of signal amplifier (any recommendations?) and it should be plugged into the 5.1 channel audio input.
Thanks.

NAD makes a very nice little magnetic phono preamp. It can be hooked up to any audio or video input on the receiver.

I can fully recomend the Gram Amp 1 from Graham Slee Projects - go on add a bit of UK know how to your US kit!!
