I have a dilemma. I have an older Denon turntable. I bought a new receiver with the phono input. I already have a Genesis surr

Connecting a turntable to a phono receiver to a home theater receiver system.

If you have an older Denon turntable it probably doesn't have a built in phono preamplifier but if it does there is usually a switch under the record platter to turn it on and off.
All turntables require one so if neither your receiver \or turntable doesn't have one built in you need to get an external one.
It will connect in between the turntable and any line level analog audio input on your audio system.

To clarify: I need to know how or if I can connect my new receiver to my Genesis surround sound (which has a receiver/subwoofer).

You are right, the turntable did not have the pre-amp built in, which is why I bought a new receiver with phono input.

Return the receiver if you can. You didn't need another receiver you needed a separate phono preamp.

If the receiver has tape record out you can connect that to the surround sound aux input. If not then you would need a speaker to line level converter.
