Azizi, "turn table" is a component of the non-cylinder wax/shellac/vinyl playback system. Victrolas, gramophones, "record players" and "stereos" etc. all make use of turntables. All by itself a turntable is not a playback device - it's purely a mechanical thingy that makes "records" go round & round ("oh-who-oho, and it comes out here....")
