Features
PS-LX310BT is a stereo turntable system designed for analog playback of vinyl records.
Assemble your turntable to use it for the first time.
Your turntable does not have built-in speakers.
To listen to audio on vinyl records, either use an audio cable to connect to an audio device or
use the BLUETOOTH® function to connect to a BLUETOOTH wireless technology enabled
audio device, such as wireless speakers or wireless headphones.
You can record audio tracks from vinyl records, which are played using your turntable, to a
computer by connecting the turntable to a computer with a USB cable (not supplied) and
using recording software on the computer.

device from which you cannot adjust the volume.
Devices, including TVs, smartphones, and computers, cannot receive streams that are sent from your
•
turntable if the turntable is connected to a BLUETOOTH device.
Your turntable is not an analog record player designed for DJ (Disk Jockey) use. Stopping or reversing the
