Connecting a very old receiver to my laptop

My grandfather recently gave me an old receiver from the 70s called a Tandberg TR 2075, and I want to hook it up to some speakers and be able to play music from my computer through it (using an eighth
inch jack). I know very little about the receiver, and similar posts I've
seen about hooking up an "old" receiver to a computer have been
about a receiver that is 10 or 15 years old. All help is appreciated!

Thanks for looking and have a wonderful day!

Sorry everyone, issue resolved! I found out all I had to do was plug in an RCA to 1/8 inch cable into the back where it says "phono"

Well Zak, I'm glad you figured it out. Just be careful not to over drive the phono input. It's meant for the very small signal from a magetic cartridge turntable.

How does it sound?

I'd plug the 'pod into a hi-level input NOT phono. Not only is the sensitivity all wrong, but it is also equalized for phono. Your frequency balance should be audibly off.

Tandberg made good stuff. I have a 3000x Reel-to-Reel in the closet. I haven't used it for a LONG time, but it was a very good (and complex) machine in its day.

He's probably not checking back (don't know), but they should be hooked to the tape inputs, preferably with a non-integrated sound card for noise reasons.
