I am unable to get it to work.....can't figure out how to plug in. P.S. I am totally a novice at this stuff.”

They have to be self-powered speakers (like the Bose Companion speakers) for what you described to work. Self-powered speakers have the audio amplifier built in. If you don't have self-powered speakers (like the Bose 201s or 301s) you need to plug the turntable into a stereo receiver and then connect your speakers to the receiver. The good news is your receiver doesn't need a Phono input, an Aux input will do. This is because the Sony turntable has a built-in preamp.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.When it comes to Bose speakers, I don't know what they look like or how they work exactly and what ports they have, but I do know that if they can connect to computers, then you can connect the vinyl player to the computer, set up your audio settings according to the instructions, and play the player thru the computer and from there, play thru to your speakers. You can also use the RCA jacks and connect them to an audio receiver (or any device/electronic with RCA jacks) to playback the audio from the vinyl player. It depends on how you want to connect your vinyl player.

Unless the speakers themselves have what are called RCA jacks, which are also present on all home audio equipment, you're out of luck. Whoever told you that you can connect this turntable directly to those speakers probably don't know what he or she is talking about. Computer speakers only have a 1/8" jack, which are found on all portable audio. This means that you'd need an RCA to 1/8" adapter to connect the turntable to the speakers. Try looking around for the adapter I mentioned. It will have the RCA jacks for the turntable's plugs on one end and the 1/8" jack on the other end which plugs into the speakers themselves.
