Sony PS-HX500 Owner's Manual

PS-HX500 is a stereo turntable system 
designed for analog playback of vinyl 
records. By connecting a computer to the 
turntable, you can use the recording 
application exclusively designed for this 
turntable product to record audio tracks of 
the vinyl record as high resolution audio 
sources.
You can play recorded high resolution audio 
sources either by transferring the recorded 
high resolution audio sources to a 
compatible audio device or by using 
computer software that supports high 
resolution audio playback.

You first need to assemble your turntable. 
Thoroughly read the instructions in this 
manual and assemble the turntable. (See 
page 9.)

Your turntable does not have a built-in 
speaker. To listen to a vinyl record, you need 
to connect an audio device, such as a stereo 
system or an amplifier, to the turntable with 
the supplied PHONO cables and play the 
vinyl record. (See page 14.)

You need to connect a computer to your 
turntable via the USB port and install the 
Hi-Res Audio Recorder application to the 
computer. (See page 18.)

Your turntable is not an analog record player 
designed for DJ (Disk Jockey) use. Stopping or 
reversing the rotation of the vinyl record by hand 
will cause malfunctions.
