Belt-drive audio turntable Sony PS-LX3BT Automatic, Black, Bluetooth aptX/aptX-Adaptive/SBC, 430×367×118 mm

The Sony PS-LX3BT is a fully automatic belt-drive turntable that combines analog vinyl playback with wireless convenience. It supports 33⅓ and 45 RPM records, includes a built-in phono preamplifier for connection to line-level inputs, and offers Bluetooth transmission with aptX and aptX Adaptive for streaming to compatible speakers or headphones.

Advantages

Fully automatic belt-drive operation simplifies playback and reduces setup effort. Bluetooth with aptX and aptX Adaptive enables higher-quality wireless audio and lower latency when paired with supported devices. The integrated phono preamplifier allows direct connection to amplifiers, soundbars or powered speakers without a separate phono stage, and support for common record speeds covers standard vinyl collections.

Suitable for

• Beginners who want a simple, plug-and-play vinyl setup
• Users who prefer wireless streaming of records to Bluetooth speakers or headphones
• Everyday listening at home with standard 33⅓ and 45 RPM records

Key specifications

• Drive type: belt-drive, fully automatic
• Record speeds: 33⅓ and 45 RPM
• Wireless: Bluetooth with aptX and aptX Adaptive codec support
• Preamp: built-in phono preamplifier (line-level output capability)

How to use

Place the turntable on a stable, level surface and connect power. Lift the dust cover, place a record on the platter and select the correct speed (33⅓ or 45 RPM). Lower the tonearm or use the automatic start function to begin playback. To stream via Bluetooth, enable pairing on a compatible speaker or headphones and follow the turntable’s Bluetooth pairing procedure; use a wired connection to a line-level input if you prefer the built-in preamplifier output.

Recommendations

For best results, position the turntable away from speakers and vibration sources, keep records and stylus clean, and allow the unit to warm up briefly after power-up before critical listening. Use a stable surface to preserve tracking and sound quality.
