Customer Ratings & Reviews

Wasn't too sure about this purchase as I haven't used a turntable (record player??) in quite a while. I have lots of old albums to include many classic and Japanese imports. I missed the old "full" sound of albums and what turntables could produce. So here comes the Sony turntable allowing me to rip those albums to digital formats that I can then play on digital players, computers, etc. Unboxing and setup was relatively easy except for the tonearm setup. Had to do a little "Youtubing" to get right, but then I was on my way. Software from Sony to rip the albums is pretty simplistic but gets the job done. Remember, whatever comes over the turntable and is captured is what you will hear on the capture; dust, skips, and other anomalies. Make sure that you clean your source albums well. Other than that, I was mildly impressed with this product. I can see me going to the local trade store to pick up some classic albums to capture that "turntable" sound that I love. If you have some albums you really want to bring into the present, this is the way to go. Recommended!

Best purchase i've made at Best Buy in years. Good quality and the bluetooth capability makes it great for surround sound systems and connecting to outdoor bluetooth speakers.

Picked this up today, got a open box satisfactory one. I currently have a audio technia one. Wanted to try this one as it has a volume gain button. The previous owner i assume didnt assemble it right, wheni put the record on it, it sounded slow and wanky, after looking at the band, it was installed incorrectly, thier loss, my gain The sound is good, to be honest its slightly louder then the audio technia player, BUT, it has MUCH better bass and treble on it. The other sounded kinda hollowish. So deff liking this one, its worth spending the extra $$ if u really like sound. The other is good for beginners who listen to casual LPs, i listen to mostly soundtracks so the bass and treble are a must have for me

I really like this turntable, just plugged in the coax to my receiver, pushed the on button on the back side of the unit, plugged it in, laid down a vinyl record and hit the start button on the front right side and then started to listen to the vinyl album. This unit is automatic, no more manual lifting of the tone arm, the tone arm lifts and slowly lays down on the album automatically and once the songs are done the tone arm lifts off and goes back to shut machine off. Looks great and works well with my Sony receiver and Sony vintage ss-S850WR speakers.

Amazing value for the money. It was hard to find a decent quality turntable with automatic function. It is absurd that there are not more similar options for consumers. When higher end manufactures realize that only a small percentage of buyers demand a turntable that requires hand placement of the needle and also at end of record then consumer. Lest you think I am a red neck when it comes to music I assure that is not the case. I have a very high end Denon receiver paired with high end Klipsch seven speaker set up. I might change the cartridge when it wears out but it sounds great now

I was very disappointed with this Sony record player

Very clean design. It paired with the Bluetooth speaker on its own. Works amazing.

I bought this as a first turntable and liked the connectivity with a Bluetooth speaker I purchased, its simple and sleek design, and its automatic start and stop features. Being a novice to vinyl, I don't have a great reference for how the records should sound, but I thought the audio was decent. One aspect that did annoy me was the amount of surface noise that came off the record. My parents own a record player, and I remembered having heard this to some degree with theirs, but it seemed to be more pronounced with this model. Nevertheless, it was suitable for my novice ears. About 7-8 months after purchasing it and playing it with what I would consider to be less than average use, I started to have issues with the turntable. First it was the stop button; the record wouldn't stop spinning and the tone arm didn't lift up and go back to its rest. I reached out to Sony and to their credit, they promptly put me in touch with a third party company that repairs their turntables. The company was professional in its handling of my issue, but it failed to diagnose the problem the first time around, and I had to send the turntable back a second time before it came back to me with a working stop button. However, I now found that the record failed to stop spinning when it reached the end of the side; it was doing this previously. I ultimately received a refund for the turntable since it was still under warranty and purchased a slightly higher end model from a different company. I'm unclear if mine was a lemon or if the parts are just made shoddily, but at the price point for this turntable, I would opt to spend a little more and get something higher quality.

After three months of having it, I couldn't be any happier with this vinyl turntable! Amazing sound quality and quick Bluetooth connection.

good quality and simple to use. I wish i purchase this sooner.

Perfect for what I wanted. Easy to use and great sound.

Easy to set up and hook to my stereo receiver. Great to play my old vinyl again.

Very nice product well made easy to use Added to my Sony reciever

This turntable sounds great and is very easy to use.

The automatic play where it lifts the arm and places it on the vinyl is amazing. Connecting to the Echo Studio and playing it through the Echo Studio works perfectly and sounds great!! Very happy with this product!

Nice turntable . Easy to use. Good quality sound for the price.

Bought this because the player I had was making noise checked around would have been expensive to fix. This was a great price and it sounds great.

Works great, but make sure to check the speed. Mine was a bit high pitched, and the rpm was around 33.8. Check the speed first, and if it's off then adjust it using a small screw from eyeglass kits and look under the turntable to turn it to the proper speed. Otherwise, this is a great player.

Fantastic quality and easy set up! I got this as a Christmas present and we were able to use it within minutes of opening it!

Great product. Needs some assembly. Does have an auto return feature which is really nice. Connects to bluetooth speakers.
