how can I adjust the turntable speed?

It's either 33 & 1/3 or 45 rpm. No adjustment unless you are an electronics whiz & can reconfigure things.

Hi James H.You can press the SPEED button on the unit to select speed. Thanks. >Joffrey

There two several adjustment settings for record speed and sizes. On the front of the unit next to the Sony name is the speed adjustment. But you also have to select the size if you want it to auto play. The size adjustment is located in front of the record arm when you open it up on the right. Speed and size adjustment are for 33 1/3 and 45 rpm...

I'm not looking at it at the moment but I believe the speed buton is on the left front, it's black.

Haven't played 45's, only 33.3's. As Kerry said, you can lift out the little center cork disc, but try leaving it in place, too. You may not notice any difference.I'd tried different kinds of feet for my turntable to kill muddiness and resonance and at high volume I heard turntable rumble. This mat solved all 3 issues for me. Sometimes the low-tech solutions are the most effective.

Turn unit on, then push record on side of unit, press center toggle button until rec shows, then use the center as a toggle and push to the right until you change the speed.

Hey Maria!No the turntable doesn't do that, however; the tone arm does everything for you!! Just hit the start button and the tone arm lifts and outs it's self in place for you. When the record is done the arm does all the work again! It's very convenient!

My daughter doesn't have a problem with her turntable. She said turn up the volume. Good luck.

Yes you can. It will move up and down between loops and change the record mode.

When the record finishes playing the turntable stops. You have to lift it and move it to the side.

As of 12/2015, Jensen customer service says you should use the stylus it came with for all speeds. That's their opinion. You can get the proper needle at the "lpgear" site. Unfortunately it's half the cost of the turntable.

I don't DJ so I'm not the most qualified to answer that, but I can say that if you were hoping this turntable can do variable speeds (so as to match BPM to a song from another source), then the answer would be no. But I think you could scratch with it, if that's all you need. The audio come out via two different ports, a USB port to a computer, and also an analog out (L&R;) via RCA cables, to use without a computer. If I remember correctly from the last time I used it, the audio is sent out straight from the needle even if the platter is not moving, so I'm sure you could use it for basic scratching...?

The turntable did not come with any such 'adjustment'. However, in school, we wrap a tightly wound piece of plastic wrap (scrunched into a piece of 'string' sort of) around the spot where the top inserts into the base, and it holds the turntable in place fairly well.

Thank you for this information. My husband has several 78s and I have been looking for a way to convert them. Which turntable do you suggest?
934334
yes indeed! there is a sliding switch with a few options, you just switch it to the "phono" setting, put the record on, and lay the needle down.

You can also adjust the low frequency of the EQ when using X-edit to set your preset. The board itself for some reasons can only adjust mid and high frequency.

These turntables have terrible counterweights. If after adjusting the counterweight you still have the skip problem ....you can try putting a hose clamp on it. Someone else online did this and it worked fine.

Hi, Besides the front on-off switch & Volume control, there are TWO little electric switches to the right of the tone arm (facing the player from the front). The first one adjusts the SPEED of the turntable: back position=33 1/3; middle: 45. Right behindthat little black switch is another. If that switch is pulled FORWARD the turntable platter does NOT spin until you move the tone arm off the rest and over a record. If it is pushed toward the back, the platter continuously turns, whether the tone arm is on the rest position OR being used to play a record. I Hope this helps. :-)

If your turntable does not have an internal preamp, then you will need an external phono preamp prior to input into one of the audio inputs on the receiver. Decent ones are available for about $50: http://www.amazon.com/ART-II-Preamplifier-Outputs-Switchable/dp/B000AJR482
