I have a Sony PS-LX210, and need to adjust the speed. Going by the music it's played, it's just a bit slow on 33 RPM (I don't know about 45). I find no external adjustments, but there are some trim pots on the board inside. Any information on what pots affect what would be very helpful. Thanks. Clay

According to anything I can find online, like any decent turntable it has a manual pitch control. Unfortunately, I can't find a manual or even a good close-up picture.

This is the best one I've found.

What's that rectangular slider-looking thing at the front right edge?

The turntable is going too fast because the singing coming out sounds like the chipmunk's any trouble shooting tips??

You are likely playing a 33 rpm record while the turntable is set to 45 rpm. You need to find the speed control and adjust it to the media you are playing.

Adjust pitch not working on PS T1 Sony

Try looking underneath the turntable. There might be two speed presets one for 45 and one for 33. They could be covered up by stickers.

How do I adjust the speed of a Sony LX250H turntable? The answer is not in my manual.

Presumably you mean correcting the speed to play 45 and 33 correctly?
Some turntables have the speed control(s) as a preset(s) built into the base on the underside of the unit. Often covered with a sticker. You simply remove the sticker and stick a small screwdriver in the thing and turn it.
Others have the preset inside on a circuit board, got to by removing the bottom of the turntable. Others have it built into the motor itself.
You should replace the belt first if the speed is slow on both 45 and 33, before adjusting the motor speed.

My Sony PS-LX250H is all of the sudden playing too slow with a 33

Not sure what made it happen all of a sudden, but you might want to check out Mocamom1 's question related to PS-LX250H speed & the attached solutions. You may just need to adjust the SW screw on the underside of the unit (worked for mine that was playing everything at 35 1/4!)

Sony PS-LX250H speed problem

I have a different Sony model (PS-LX-150H) that had a similar problem. I hadn't used it in awhile, and then when I did, I noticed the speed problem.

IF your PS-LX250 is like my PS-LX150, there are small speed adjustment screws accessible from the bottom of the unit. On mine, the two adjustment screws were labeled - one for 33rpm, the other for 45 rpm. Basically I just fiddled a bit with them using a very small precision screw driver until I could verify that I had reached 33 rpm (I used a stopwatch and literally counted the number of rotations/minute after making adjustments.)

Now it sounds right!

Strange speed

Well, there isn't much on this unit that controls the speed. It's either your belt or your motor that's gone or going bad. Try replacing the belt first. If you still have the same issue, you might need to have a tech look at it. The 33/45 switches might have also gone out, but it doesn't like this is the issue.

Hope this helps.
