Just so you know, Closing the dust cover while you play, has a chance to ruin your records, it builds up static and can also damage the turntable

@Leith_x 4 года назад

What cable do I use for the usb? It isnt a typical usb plug on the back. It looks like an Ethernet cable on the back. I lost the original one that came with it, any idea what kind of cable I need/should be searching for?

@eyesalooking 4 года назад

The cable is one similar to what ink jet printer use. Should be available at Office Max or Office depot.

@RainbowGravity92 4 года назад

Pretty sure it's a FireWire type output

@marcapaulajos 4 года назад

Does it have a built in preamp? I plug in mine to my home theater but it’s only about half the volume as if you’re watching a movie or listening to a CD. I was told it doesn’t have a built in preamp and that’s why the output is low.

@JordanBolland 4 года назад

Yes, it does. On the back there is a switch labeled line/phono. It activates/deactivates the built in preamp. You'd use line mode if your setup doesn't have a dedicated phono input with it.

@marcapaulajos 4 года назад

It's not that great of a pre-amp and in general not that great of a turntable. I can't seem to be able to crank the volume with it, the output is pretty poor and you get a really bad feedback hum when you turn it up loud.

@macca742 3 года назад

@@marcapaulajos Yes I had all these problems too. I have yet to make a decent recording despite using 3 different software programmes, two different computers and boosting the output with a conventional phono amp. I would not recommend this turntable.

@EDKsurly 5 лет назад

i have this record player. When i connect it to the Phono port on my Receiver , it sounds like crap. But when i connect it to the CD port, it sounds ok. Do you know why?

@TheFabulousFubu 5 лет назад

i have this issue as well with my ION USB turntable, my guess is its outputting through some CD format to work with the computer

@vinylvideos5704 5 лет назад

This may be the problem..The built in pre amp is currently turned on inside the turntable, and the phono port on the receiver also functions as a pre amp, so you are amplifying the turntable signal twice. The CD port does not have the phono stage, so it just uses the intended pre amp in the turntable, and sounds as it should. If you wanted to use it in the phono port, switch the pre amp switch on your turntable. For more info look on page 8 here: docs.sony.com/release//Manual_3198123161.pdf

@CanadaUnbox 6 лет назад

I have used the all in one suitcase style players this is leaps and bounds better. Both in sounds quality and build quality. With small speaker size will be similar with better sound. Though a bit pricier. This should certainly last longer.

@driodep5287 4 года назад

is it true that you can only play 7 and 12" on this? I've some 10" as well so I want to be sure before I buy this one

@Viv3ify2 4 года назад

Don't know if you still need this info, but I've had one of these turntables. While the automated arm only fit 7 and 12", then you can manually set the tonearm on a 10", simply by pushing the right 'up / down' button, move the tonearm over the 10" edge, and push the 'up / down' button again, to let the tonearm fall down onto 10". So yes, it can play 10" if you set the arm manually. Hope this helps :)

@slora79 5 лет назад

i hope this isnt a dumb question but can i hook up 2 sony house speakers to it,i have reciever but dont see input jacks in the back of the turntable. thank you

Yes! you can have two speakers you will either need to split the RCA able into two, or split the Stereo cable into two but certainly possible !

@CanadaUnbox 6 лет назад

Carefully remove the disc portion of the turntable ( the piece you had to install when you first opened it). I bet either your belt has fallen off or broken.Both easy fixes!

@bionicman71 6 лет назад

i have the older sony of this same model that dosent have the usb cable,what recording program would be good to use with this turntable.I have used nero in the past but there is so many different settings and options on there that it can be overwhelming at times.

@CanadaUnbox 6 лет назад

Audacity would probably be the best, relatively easy to use and lots of room for growth plus its free. pluging the RCA cable into a female rca to male 3.5mm would then let you plug it into your computers mic input plug and be able to record.

@kevinsnodgrass6222 4 года назад

I just got this . Is there a way to adjust the counterweight . The needle is not staying down on the grooves . I'm hoping I can adjust so the arm is a bit heavier

@RainbowGravity92 4 года назад

There's no way to adjust the weight. You could tape a coin go it, but there's a good possibility that you'll have to replace it. I had one that was open box and the needle would skate across. I got another one, brand new and it didn't have the issue. Depends on how it was shipped during transit.

@kevinsnodgrass6222 4 года назад

@@RainbowGravity92 I thought that it might be off balance too . What happened was I ended up pulling the whole cartridge off instead of just the cover and maybe I dont have it on right so I'm going to try a new cartridge

@RainbowGravity92 4 года назад

@@kevinsnodgrass6222 yeah, it takes a bit of patience to put the needle back on, but that's because it's magnetic instead of ceramic. Ceramic is super heavy and it adds weight and the track force becomes heavy enough to damage records. That's why the suitcase crosleys/victrolas are best to be avoided. Plus, with the Sony, replacement diamond needles are made from plenty of manufacturers that make them compatible with this.

Mine plays at an average volume, insure your rca cables are plugged all the way in. also ensure you have hit the toggle on the back to the correct output. ( turn down the volume first just in case)
