Not for anyone serious about vinyl
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was an impulse buy after I had returned an Audio Technica AT-LP60USB to Amazon as it arrived severely damaged. Unfortunately, this turntable was not the answer either. First, the platter wobbled (which is not good for the stylus or the vinyl). Second, the arm weighting was off (it played sufficiently on the new, heavier, more deeply grooved 180g records, but it often "flitted" across older LPs) and there is no way to adjust it (other than taping a quarter to the head, which is a little nutty for a new turntable). Finally, and worst of all, at the 33 1/3 setting, it actually played at 34 rpm (45 was fine, however). I am just glad that I got it at Best Buy which gave me a no-hassle return. So I would avoid this machine unless you plan to use it as a starter turntable for an older child.

Phonograph is great - Conversion Software Terrible
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The phonograph plays vinyl's very well - great sound. However, the software that converts vinyl to digital was easy to load. However, the plus quickly turned negative. The software is not user friendly, does an extremely poor job to identify tracks/breaks between songs, requires a lot of manual intervention to separate tracks. After working with the software for 30 days I have never been able to get a complete track for a single song. I bought the turntable to specifically transfer vinyl to digital. If I knew it was going to be so much work and time intensive I would not have bought the product. I should have returned the product to BEST BUY. Since it was a Sony product I thought it would be good. I was wrong!

Biggest disappointment of Christmas
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I can’t review a functional model of this turntable, because the one I received was not. It was listed as an open box item in excellent condition, but couldn’t even be set up to sit flat. Although there was a great sale on turntables when I purchased this, being an open box item put it within my Christmas budget. Store credit was issued to the recipient of this gift, but of course the sale was over, and the turntables cost double the store credit. Please check your open box items more carefully. I had a lot of confidence in your “excellent” rating.

Still not working...
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this SONY USB phonograph for Christmas to help me convert my albums to digital. It's Jan 8th and it's still not working on my computer either through USB connection or after I bought a PYLE PP555 pre-amp from BestBuy as suggested on the instructions. Those same installation instructions knocked out all sound out of my computer until I meticulously re-set my control panel settings. I'm sure this phonograph may work for some but so far for me it's a waste of money and time. VERY Disappointed!

Waste of an order
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Since I already own this I wanted to buy one for my sister. Bought this open box and then felt insulted. Shipped to my home with hinges broken on cover, missing the adapter for smaller records, and the final insult no needle, not even the housing for the needle. Open box is supposed to be certified? Returning. Just can't believe someone packed this in a box and sent to my home. The record player itself is a great unit- just not open box from Best Buy I guess.

Turntable is only beginner level.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best Buy might do well to get just a few high-tech turntables into the store. I grabbed this cheap Sony, thinking that my new receiver would compensate for it. It doesn't work that way anymore. I'm stuck with the Sony, and must buy a much more expensive turntable, AND some kind of amplifying box that costs about $200 along with $400 for a decent turntable. This aspect of the $6500 some-odd dollars I just spent for a good home theatre, has turned into a real can of worms, and has really soured the whole deal.

Did not work
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had thought this purchase, a sony open box usb turntable, a great deal. But, I was shocked that the turntable did not even spin! The only function that worked was the tone arm would raise up, but that was all. I was very disappointed that not even the least check was performed before putting this device on sale.

Not a bargain
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this turntable as an open box/return special. When I got the turntable home and hooked it up, it obviously had not been checked out because once the stylus hit the record the sound was completely distorted. I had to drive another 40 miles from home just to return the not so bargain, bargain.

Feels cheap
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Distorted my records when I played them, and the overall quality of the player is just cheap. I could have gotten a defective one, but either way I returned it. Hopefully other people have a better experience than me. The Audio Technica around the same price range is really good.

Scratchy
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was purchased for me as a gift and when we set it up and played a record it did not sound good at all. It sounded very scratchy. I would recommend a better model such as audio technica or fluance.

Bought it refurbished
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There was no way this turntable would ever work. Although it was marked totally refurbished, it was missing the belt that made the turntable spin. That being said, for a cheap turntable, you are getting a cheap turntable.

Had to return product, was repackaged, not new
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is more of a review of the purchase experience than the product, as what I received was a repackaged product that didn't even include the needle, was all scratched up, missing documentation, etc. I just had to return it as it was not usable.

horrible
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My dad has spent days at the store for help. They finally have ruled it defective. If the replacement doesn't work I am never buying a Sony product again. You see Sony you think it's going to work.

Turntable
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The turntable works fine but I'm not sure why volume only goes so high. When I plug in my Walkman the volume really cranks. I'm assuming I should've bought a more powerful receiver.

Poor choice
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for a moderately priced turntable, chose the Sony based on company's reputation. Very disappointed, couldn't get it to work properly, had to return it, bought another brand turntable.
