It's a straight-up turntable (looks pretty heavy-duty, too...)
And as far as I know, the cords are plugged in correctly, into the "game" jacks (same as my other record player).
Perhaps this turntable is somehow not compatible with modern speakers? I don't see why that would be, though... I'll have to check when my aunt brings me the old speakers that were used with this turntable...)
