Sony PSLX250H Turntable
Sony's PS-LX250H is an entry-level belt-drive turntable that offers fully automatic operation. It's an easy way to get back into the vinyl game, particularly if your current amp doesn't have a phono gain stage. The PS-LX250H has an onboard phono preamp that'll boost the levels, allowing you to hook into any RCA jack on your amp. It can play back records at both 33.3 RPM (revolutions per minute) and 45 RPM, and comes with a plastic, hinged dust cover.
Get into the groove with the fully automatic PS-LX250H turntable from Sony. Hook the turntable up to any stereo and reacquaint yourself with all of your old vinyl records. The turntable is compatible with all stereo receivers, even units without traditional phono input jacks. The PS-LX250H doesn't require a lot of setup out of the box. A built-in preamplifier adjusts the audio output, giving you a terrific sound. The phono cartridge with a diamond stylus needle snaps right into place. Adjust the turntable EQ setting to your stereo receiver's input configuration and you are ready to go. The PS-LX250H spins at 33-1/3 and 45 rpm, allowing you to enjoy albums and singles. A spindle adapter is included for your singles. All of the controls are on the front panel and easy to access. The fully automatic, belt-drive turntable features push-button controls that allow you to change the turntable speed and record size, and raise the tone arm automatically. What's in the Box

Sony PSLX250H Turntable Reviews
Easy to set up, great accuracy, clean uncluttered sound, perfect for my old 60's & 70's albums.
you will instantly tell if you like the sound of vinyl more than cd. speed is abit off on this but not bad. if you do, join the club. the sound is suprisngly good but i used the preamp on my reciever instead of the one built in.
The records sound great and this machine is simple to set up and use. A friend had this record player at his house and I really enjoyed it and wanted one of my own. Since I don't have an up to date stereo system that has a receiver with the stereo (red/white) input, I bought a stereo to 1/8th (headphone jack) cable. I did my fair share of shopping around for this specific record player and Amazon was the only place that I found it at this price.
I started buying records a few years ago to hang up on the wall but recently decided that I wanted to start listening to them. This allows me to connect the record player into this cable and from that plug it into my speakers that have a headphone jack (1/8th) input. This lets me listen to the record player through my speakers without having the required stereo (red/white) input anywhere. TIP: This record player has the stereo (red/white) output cables built in, coming out of the back.
Maybe some of you know this already, but I thought this might help. For being a Sony product, this is definitely a great price.
As it turns out, nothing was wrong with it at all - it just needed a speed adjustment, which I found was right on the motor itself. He then said it was probably a slippery slope and it will just break more even if I did fix it. It now plays wonderfully and at the correct speeds. I went to a local record shop and he said it could cost me as much as the player for him to figure out what was wrong and fix it.
I got this record player from a friend who wasn't using it any longer. My player, however, was playing slowly, so I got a new belt, and it was still slow. After doing an online search for a "printable strobe" (a device that has lines or circles, that under a fluorescent light [it won't work under normal lights] will appear to be still while the player is moving), I was able to use a VERY small flathead screwdriver (like, for fixing computers or eyeglasses), which inserts right into the black rubber slots on the motor, and tweak the speed with VERY slight adjustments. There are 2 rubber slots that say 33 and 45 that can be accessed from the bottom of the player. It's a great player, and the built-in pre-amp is great.
The player itself is extremely easy to use - and while not quite an audiophile player, it will get the job done for those of us that wanna hear the hiss and pop of our old records for nostalgia sake. I called Sony, and they said they knew nothing about how to fix it, but I could pay to ship it to them in Texas and then pay $51 for a refurbished replacement.
Very easy to hook up, like the dust cover better than the clear plastic on my old one. Good basic turntable. Can be started by push button, but I prefer manually placing the needle on the record.
