Amazing...

And don't be daunted by all the technical detail you read here. For me, 5 years ago, it was like trying to read a foreign language. Now I understand most everything I read, and I feel like I can make meaningful contributions.
Aside from being a bunch of opininated SOB's (we're famously that!), we audiophiles love to help each other out, teach, give advice, and try to help you get your maximum enjoyment out of your music and your hardware investment.
So stick with it, utilize this valuable resource (Audiogon), and before you know it that DP-47F will be making music you won't believe.

Cheers.

Unfortunately, the manual for the Pioneer receiver doesn't list phono stage gain. I would assume, therefore, that a moving magnet cartridge would be required.

Remember to configure the receiver for Direct Analog operation. Home theater receivers will usually convert analog to digital at the input stage (for the various surround processing modes). You don't want that.

I'm actually surprised to see a phono input on an A/V receiver. They were hard to find for a while. It's good that you've got one, but it may be of fairly dubious quality. The fact that the phono stage isn't listed in the specs is a hint towards that assumption.

If you find you're enjoying playing records, adding a good outboard phono pre-amp would probably be a good first upgrade.
