Phono setting and MC/MM


Gave a buddy one of my old turntables and it has a MC cartridge.  Will that work on a vintage receiver with just a single Phono option?

I had a mc with both MC and MM but his receiver is just Phono.

Will a MC cartridge play?

I have some doubts about it, in the past maybe only the big vintage receivers top accepted MC cartridges in the connection, usually they were only predisposed for Cartridges MM.
What receiver is it, do you have brand and model by chance?

The cartridge is a Hana SL low output and the Pioneer is absolutely not compatible for cartridges MC.
