First things first: the sound is great! I previously had a record player from ION, where the sound was simply subterranean. Bluetooth connections with various devices (speakers, Wonderboom, Logitech adapter, headphones, etc.) worked flawlessly. I even made a connection of about 12 metres around the corner from the office to the living room to a Logitech Bluetooth adapter, which worked perfectly.
The device looks classy and valuable, although most of it is plastic. Fully automatic is practical and also works well. No annoying adjustments to the tonearm necessary, just plug & play. And amazing: 30-year-old LPs, which used to jump, now run perfectly. It must be the adjustment of the needle or the tonearm, I can't explain it any other way.
A better sound is probably only needed by professionals or audiophiles, for the average consumer with ambitions it is simply top. Absolutely recommended!

Am a Sony fan and have many products from Sony. This one however did not meet my expectations.
First to the positive: The design is simple and successful, the sound is fantastic for the price, the Bluetooth connection great and works great, the full automatic is also handy.
The problem is the tracking: there are no adjustment options, and the needle jumped without end on every LP that wasn't brand new and unpacked straight from the cling wrap. Most of my LPs are old since bought second hand, may have fingerprints, dust, hairlines etc. This record player couldn't handle that. That means jumping needle every 1-2 minutes. I can't listen to music like this. Sold the turntable with a heavy heart.
This is a good turntable. I was looking for something not too expensive but with good quality and good sound. Sony succeeded. Despite its plastic aspect, it is of good quality and good finish. The turntable is sober and elegant posed on a white piece of furniture. The settings are extremely simple. Just select the disc size and speed.
You can manually move the arm to change the position on the vinyl with the "Up/Down" button on the right that will raise the arm and let you reposition it. Be careful, for 10" records which are a bit smaller than 12" records, I advise you to set the arm to 7" and then reposition the arm to the right place otherwise the needle will get into the foam outside the record.
