What you need is a Phono Preamp, which connects between the turntable and the receiver. Prices range across the entire range.

John is correct since your receiver doesn't have a phono input you will need to get a external phono preamp. And I would suggest getting one that will handle both MM and MC phono cartridges unless you already know which cartridge you have.
