Low output
Submitted on July 9th, 2009 by tscrForgive me if this is a question with an obvious answer, but I bought one of these at a yard sale and it's my first turntable. I've tried playing it through my receiver which doesn't have a specific phono input and I can barely hear it - do record players need to use a phono input with a pre amp or something?
Thanks.
Plugging into desktop speakers
Submitted on March 27th, 2009 by johnny dazedHi there, I have this player which I want to connect to my laptop / ipod speakers.
They are logitech speakers and sub which has built in amplifier of 32 wtts rms.
How come when I plug my Sony PS LX56 in, there is hardly any volume?
When my ipod would be blasting at full volume the record player is only loud enough for soft background music.
Do I need to add another amplifier before it goes into the speaker system? PLease help.
Many thanks in advance.
phono preamp
Submitted on March 28th, 2009 by JaSHi, like most turntables, the signal from the PS-LX56 comes straight from the cartridge so you will need an RIAA phono pre-amp to equalise the signal and increase gain to line level.

Sony PS-LX56 Turntable rotation speed
Submitted on January 30th, 2009 by MrDoolsHi there
I'm wondering if anyone out there who owns this model turntable knows how to adjust the rotation speed? Mine is revving to fast (approx. 35rpm!). There are adjustment holes in the underside of the turntable but not actual knobs etc fitted to them and I'm not sure what tool you use to adjust them?
Let me know If you can help.
Many thanks
Use of SONY Sound Forge SW for Vinyl to CD Conversion
Submitted on October 25th, 2008 by Family ArchiveSound Forge requires the turntable audio output to be preprocessed by passing it through a pre-amp first. How do I do ONLY that through a receiver-tuner-amp only with speaker outputs? Do I need an amp with Line Outputs?
Thx
Tape Loop
Submitted on October 26th, 2008 by JaSHi,
If your tape loop output has enough gain you can connect this to the soundcard inputs
