No, it's very much HDMI/digital everything. I have a CD player hooked up to it but that's about all the "old" it will handle. I have two "ancient" Denon AV receivers that still work just fine. (One is twenty years old!) They are the best for all the old stuff like turntables, CD players, tube TVs, and even tape decks. They work best with my ancient Infinity speakers, too so I'm keeping both receivers to use with MY old turntable and LPs. I've seen some older Denons for sale... do a search. Mine have never needed any repair but I've kept them on battery-backup/line conditioners and I never "blasted" sound. I've seen complaints about other Denons "cutting out" but mine never do. Good luck!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi Seenwork, Very helpful advice. I have old devices (CD player, turntable, cassette deck) as well. Do you still have to go through the setup via TV to use your CD player? I'm assuming it's not plug and play? jayc
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.COcranny is right about this. You will only be able to connect one analog device at a time. I have an older cassette tape deck and it will work fine as an analog device using this receiver. An analog turn table works just as well but you can only have one or the other connected. My CD player is only two years old and it has an output for a digital optical cable which I've connected to to the receiver for digital sound. So, now I have my tape deck as an analog device and my CD player as a digital device. I'm one of those who has a mix of new and old components. If you're transitioning from analog to pure digital this is a good bet. This receiver is really meant for surround sound with multiple audio and video devices that use HDMI. However, if you want to keep your analog devices, consider finding an older receiver or amp with plenty of analog connections. Just remember, you won't be getting true digital quality sound. Hope this helps you and others with this dilemma.
