It came assembled so I did not deal with that part. Moved the speakers as recommended in the trouble shooting section of the manual. Apparently, if you buy one assembled, it comes with the default setting that assumes there is NO phono plug on your receiver. No improvement. (UPDATED INFORMATION: I had to dis assemble the turntable to access the EQ switch. My receiver does had the PHONO outlets, so I needed to change the EQ switch on the turntable. OLD REVIEW: I bought this turntable a few years ago but only recently decided to use it. Checked the connections-per manual.
I give up. No improvement. I think I got a bad one and too late to return. I cleaned them and tried again. The sound quality is TERRIBLE. Bought a new stylus in case the original one got damaged in the couple moves I made since buying the turntable.
Once reassembled (belt came off and had to play with it a bit to get it right).the turntable is terrific.but the EQ switch should be located on the OUTSIDE of the machine).OLD REVIEW: My Cds and tapes sound fine using the same receiver and speakers but the records are horrible. No luck. NO improvement. Circuit City is out of business.
Great add-on to component system; knew we held on to our vinyl collections for a reaason. Turntable hooks up easily to older components & you can't go wrong w/Sony elecronics.
This Sony turntable is also priced right. In my opinions, vinyl is the only way to play the Beatles and this wonderful turntable allows me to do just that. I bought this Sony turntable on or about April 30, 2010 in order to play my Beatles records. It's very affordable. It produces a rich, full stereo sound that blows CD players away. However, I must admit that I also have a good stereo amplifier. This product rocks. Tom
I paid about $50 for this turntable one year ago. they really make junk these days. Another problem with this turntable is that the RCA output cable is literally 1 foot long- I am NOT exaggerating.
And don't turn the amp too loud or the vibrations from the speakers cause obnoxious feedback through the turntable. I won't comment on the audio quality because this is the only turntable I've ever owned, but it seems mediocre to me. The biggest problem with this turntable is that even the slightest floor vibrations cause obnoxious bass thumps that make my speakers bounce like crazy.
So if you plan on placing the turntable more than a foot away from your amp, you'll need to invest in an RCA extension cord and an RCA female-female converter. This turntable needs some kind of shocks or suspension to absorb floor vibrations. When the needle hits the record, or is lifted, it also causes loud bass thumps through my speakers that strain the amp/speakers.
Once again, another chintzy Sony product. =/
I didn't want anything fancy - mp3 conversion wasn't necessary for me. This turntable is perfect. Easy to set up and use and the sound quality's great.
