Good evening,

The two jacks visible on the front of the photo are DIN format jacks, an old German format. These are probably the input and output. You will use the RCA jacks located on the side, knowing that there should be the same thing on the rear face that is not visible. You should, of course, read the labels to connect the cable coming from the turntable to the IN input of the box and the OUT output to an AUX or LINE input of the amplifier. You also need to switch to this input using the source selection button.

This preamplifier is essential to achieve a sufficient level for the mentioned inputs and especially to correct the signal (frequency curve).

However, it is surprising that you do not have a phono input on an amplifier. Please check carefully before proceeding with a purchase that would be unnecessary.

Best regards.

Hi, it's probably the reading head that's dead, check its condition.

this is not really my area but sometimes it doesn't show. I've already had the problem with a Technics turntable when I changed the stylus, it worked but looking closely you can see if it’s all bent and in bad shape...

After checking if the head was in good condition, which it is; I went to consult another forum where I was told that I need a special phono preamplifier for vinyl turntables, something like this: http://www.priceminister.com/image?action=slideshow&imagestype=PRODUCT&prdimageid=866051294&productid=60468845
the problem is that I don't know how it works or what the two inputs on the side are for..

Yes, if the input of your system is not phono, it won't work.
In that case, if you buy a phono preamp, it's quite simple; you normally have a stereo input and a stereo output. When I say stereo, I mean the cable with the red plug and the cable with the white plug. You connect your turntable to the input, and the preamp will transform the phono signal (the one from the turntable) into a line/aux signal (the one for the hi-fi system), so basically, you just have to connect it between the system and the turntable.

So, I went to ask a specialized seller who tested it, and it turns out that the problem was due to poor "connections" in the red and white wires; I fixed that, and now I connect my turntable to my hi-fi system via aux, and it works! (the sound is good but weak). Thanks anyway.
