All in one

I have acquired an all in one turntable which has phono output.
Manual says speakers can be coonected using the phono.
Would this disable the built in speakers so audio is only from the new ones.
Could the existing volume control be used or do I need speakers with their own controls.

Hornetstinger, it may be but was a gift from my daughters.

Lucid, I understand this means I need speakers with their own volume control.
And turn down existing control to zero.
Manual states speakers can be fitted but nothing more.

The cartridge is indeed ceramic but from Amazon Q&A they state sylus is diamond tipped.
My thoughts are If I upgraded the speakers then I should get better audio.

I've had a look at the edifier range which could be just the job.
Is it as simple as phono to phono single cable for each speaker.

Video is informative, but I am stuck with the system for now as it was a present.

Thanks lucid for the detailed info and links.
Speaker price makes sense as my gut feeling was to go ones similar in price to the unit.

Would the connection be as simple as phono to phono single cable for each speaker.

I now have something to go on.

That makes it clear.
Thanks

All interesting stuff.
Yes it has red cartridge.

I fully understand comments about quality, but for the sake of my daughters, I will put up with it for now.
They think it sounds ok, and I will start by upgrading the speakers and buy record cleaning items.

Note the record player is only part of the bits I will use.
Bluetooth, radio, cd, usb are all useful, even though there is compromise in quality to accommodate.
