Long Play, even with your modern receiver
Whoa! Hey, now, don't look so glum . . . the purchase of your new 7.1-channel hi def receiver doesn't mean that you can no longer enjoy your fanatically guarded, meticulously cared-for, ultimately just-plain-cool vinyl collection. While few modern A/V receivers feature a "phono" input with the necessary pre-amplification and equalization for playing records, Sony's PSLX300USB has been designed with a built-in pre-amp that amplifies the low-level current induced in the cartridge to a line-level current that can be amplified by your receiver to power your loudspeakers. Additionally, the EQ switch performs the necessary signal equalization otherwise handled by a receiver's phono input. (Because records are made with expanded high frequencies and reduced low frequencies, upon reproduction of their audio content, these frequencies must be rescaled — reduced and expanded, respectively — in order to achieve accurate reproduction of the original sound. This rescaling is termed "equalization".)
Finally, your favorite tracks are portable!
If cassette tapes and compact discs — and now the ubiquitous 'MP3s' — have any advantage over vinyl, it's 'portability'. You just can't go jogging with a turntable clipped to your hip. Thanks to its USB port, the PSLX300USB gives you the option of loading your favorite Long Play albums or 45 singles onto your computer to then be quickly and easily burnt onto a CD or loaded onto your MP3 player. Now you can take your vinyl collection with you wherever you go. Additionally, the included Audio Studio software makes it easy to archive your music, optimize the sound, and store it on your PC.
You're just a push of a button away . . .
Fully automatic operation means more than just "one-button" operation of your new PSLX300USB. Because the tonearm automatically moves the cartridge head into place on the record when you push "Play", you don't have to worry about accidentally damaging the tracks or the stylus when setting the arm manually. Less damage means more years of enjoyment from your collection.
A belt drive means smooth, quiet playback
Enjoy playback of your favorite LPs and 45s thanks to the PSLX300USB's belt drive system. Turntable belt drives rotate the platter using an elastomeric belt that absorbs motor vibrations that would otherwise be picked up by the stylus, resulting noise and distortion in the reproduced audio. Other indices of the PSLX300USB's low-noise audio playback are a greater-than-50dB signal-to-noise ratio and a less-than-0.25% RWMS wow and flutter.
