Phono.. does this mean?


I am looking to buy my first turn table for some LP's I have bought over the years. I am looking to save some money at this time, so my question is...

If my current reciever has Phono Jacks, does this mean I could hook a Turn Table up to it and use it? I am looking at a Rega P1 or P2. Thanks for the advice.

As can be seen from RX-V2300 manual
http://www.yamaha.co.jp/english/product/av/pdfs/moreinfo/rxv2300.pdf
it has phono input (i.e in-built phono amplifier module) with input sensitivity (MM) 2.5 mV and impedance Phono 47 k-ohms.
So you can use MM cartridges or high output MC carts (which produce about 2.5 mV voltage). For MC carts with lower output voltage you would need external phono (pre)amplifier.
