    Hi everyone thank you, @Steve W well it has the red and white cords connected to the amp, and a system control wire connected to the amp, I removed the rubber plate on the plate and found a toggle and switched it, since the the turntable has been working but it sounds really bad. I mean I can hear the music but very low 'cuz there's lots of noise I tried a classical music vinyl and a the Beatles, but this one only sound noise

    The question is - is the TT connected to the PHONO input?

    The question is where have you placed the equalizer - before what and after what? The TA-AX205 does not have an equalizer loop. Are you using the tape minitor?

Bog standard TT connected to a bog standard receiver. Hmmm.

I cannot figure out where you have the equalizer placed (or why, but that is another topic).

What exactly is beeping?

SOURCE: Sony PS-LX250H turntable won't turn

I have the same trouble so I gave it a push and after manually spinning the table and then putting through it's sequence a few times it worked fine!....but now it's started to run at a speed half way between 33 and 45rpm. To see if its just a stuck motor, remove the table lift the arm move it over so it's trying to drive then just rotate the pulley clockwise between finger and thumb.

SOURCE: hum when turntable connected to phono sockets on amp

this turntable absolutely came with a ground wire that must connect to the gnd connection on the amp. maybe it got torn off or something but there should be clues on the back of the turntable as to what happened to it.

once the lead is found it must be connected to the amp gnd connect to get rid of the hum. this might require someone with soldering skilz or what have you in order rig up a new wire.

a tech might have to remove the bottom and solder in a new wire if it is cut or ripped off at the housing. This is common as people forget to unhook the gnd wire from the amp when moving things around.

SOURCE: Sony PS-LX300USB Turntable, one channel not working

Have you tried swopping over the output leads from the turntable to the amp (normally one red and one white phono plug) so they are in each others socket? If you do this and you still get no sound from the right channel it is almost certain to be a faulty amp,or speaker.
If you swop and get no sound from the LEFT channel it is could be either a faulty lead or cartridge.

Have you though of using a pre-amp? You'll probably need to go turntable --> pre-amp --> soundcard input to get acceptable sound

Power supply Sony PS-LX10

Connect the RCA phono plug wires usually red and white wires with plugs to a receiver or amplifier in the back of it to phono in. New receivers will not work unless you have a phono preamp. Best to buy a vintage stereo receiver or amplifier with the correct connections. Make sure you connect the ground wire which is usually a small black wire coming from the turntable to an receiver or amplifier. Turn the stereo receiver on phono. Connect it to any screw attached to metal on back or look for a ground screw. If you do not attach it it will hum.

Sony ps-lx250H loud buzzing sound

That is where the problem is, get a long insulated wire, bare both ends and attach one end to the turntable and the ground screw of the amp, use one screw on the chassis on the turntable and bare the metal for good ground connection.

I have a PS-LX250H turntable. I connect it to a stereo receiver. I have actually tried 2 different receivers and can't get any decent volume from using the turntable. Even with the volume turned all...

Have you tried testing it on something else, I guess my thought it possibly it the needle. In other words are you pretty sure your needle is working. I have had the problem years ago with the needle not registering. And next step, of course you make sure it plugs into the audio out put of the receiver. And third try plugging in , if you have it, another device to make sure your out put of receiver is working, if it does then most likely it is your needle. I really hope this helps some, thank mike

Just look around the web for a "Magnetic Cartridge Preamp".
You plug your turntable into this and the preamp in an aux socket of Surround Amp and the sound will be the same level as the other devices.

Check your inbox.

Hook the output to Aux. As for your PC, that would depend on your sound card. Basically, the same.

I am trying to hook together a computer and a turntable(Turntable has its own pre-amp) & I need a diagram on what wire gos where?

OK. Since there is a pre-amp, all you need to do is to connect pre-amp output to Line-in input on the PC. This may be a bit of challenge as the connector on the pre-amp and computer are of different types. Usually, you need a cable with RCA connectors on one end and 3.5mm stereo pin (same pin as you have for stereo headphones) on the other.
