Can I connect a vinyl record player to a surround sound system?

Question

I'm considering buying a surround sound system for my house, and I have a vinyl record player (turntable) but I do not have any speakers or means of playing the records, other than through my computer. If I buy this sound system, will I be able to hook up my vinyl player to the system and hear the music through the speakers?

As long as the system has a receiver with phono input.

Answer 2

If it doesn't have a phonograph input you can get an RIIA preamp, all this does is make the phonograph compatible with a regular input..they sell those at Radio Shack among other places.
