Sony PS-LX250h turntable question.

My turntable is not keeping a consistant speed.  During transport, the turntable was placed upside down and the platter and belt came off.  I remounted the platter and belt and that's when the speed started to become inconsistant.  It speeds up and slows down.  I have tried adjusting the speed by adjusting the set screws on the bottom of the unit.  It speeds up tremendously when I place the jeweler's screwdriver in the adjustment hole, even without turning the screw driver. 
I have also noticed that when the tone arm returns after the end of a record, it lowers before it gets to its resting cradle.
What could be causing these two issues and how can I fix?
Thanks.

Follow the procedure below to troubleshoot the issue of the turntable platter is not spinning at a constant rate, speeding up, or slowing down.
NOTE: A warped record will produce this effect.
Verify that the record being played is not warped.
Verify that the drive belt is secure, and is not in need of replacement.
If the issue is still unresolved after completing all of the troubleshooting steps, service will be required .

  • Premier + I'm new + Sony HVR V1P = Many questions

    What up y'all?
    I have... several problems. My main one is I have no idea what I'm doing
    I've been self learning the ins and outs of Adobe Premiere, Photoshop and After Effects CS5 extended for a little while as my proffession requires me to have a small level of expertise of video editing, and I decided the more I had, the better I would do. Now a friend has asked me to perform a "small" favour and splice some footage of a trip he had to NZ with his Dad. Now I like the guy and owe him a fair bit so I'm looking to go all out.
    First problem, he has a Sony HVR V1P and long story short, it took me 3 weeks and eventually borrowing the camera and all the tapes to get the footage into a usable format.
    Now I've spent the last 3 days editing 8 different compositions, so I figured, time to get the first few into something a bit more manageable. I'm using Media Encoder to export out of Premiere, but have no idea what settings will be best. Eventually I want to to be as high definition as possible, likely on several DVDs, but also in a digital format. I just tried an export to 720p, which is what Premiere has as its default, but I got a lot of jagging throughout the whole clip, and I'm worried that it's going to look that way any time anyone plays it. Right now I'm trying an export as 1920x1080, but my computer only has a 1st gen quad and 6GBs of RAM, so yeah, 4hrs of waiting or so.
    This is a *right click - properties* of one of the clips in the timeline. I'm sure you'll all have a much better idea of how to interpret it.

    Ok, let me rephrase that.
    I don't know what I'm doing in THIS INSTANCE. If people only read the first part of my statement I guess I'm not going to get anywhere, so I'll just be a tad more concise. I've made many videos before, using Premiere, and exported them successfully. This time however, and I have a feeling it's a combination of things, I'm having trouble getting the output right.
    Media Encoder isn't giving me the option of of matching sequence settings which I normally use, and I've used a few different formats of export. .AVI results in poor image quality, what I've heard referred to as "jaggies" or artifacts, and therein lies my first question; is there a way to get rid of these? Secondly, using MPEG2 Blu-ray, I get the resolution that I'm keen on, but it seperates the audio into a .WAV file. Therein the second question, what's a recommended program for combining the two.
    I'm aware of the tutorials, and part of self learning is watching them all. However there isn't a particular one that covers my question, which is why I posted it here.

  • Help - HDV tape import problem - Sony HC-3 broken - Questions/Warning

    My Sony HC-3 HD camcorder has just failed. I've had it just over 3 years.
    I really don't enjoy video editing much, and despite maybe shooting 20-30 tapes of HD footage of my young children, I'd only got round to importing a handful over Firewire, but was lulled into a false sense of security perhaps by treating the tapes as my film negatives (new tape each time).
    The camcorder behaved a bit erratically a few weeks ago when inserting a tape, then the other day it gave an error, I ejected the tape and had a constant C32:11 error flashing. Lots of user reports on the web, no idea what the real issue is, but any suggested fixes didn't work.
    Essentially I cannot close the tape transport compartment with or without a tape - it won't accept a tape and return to record/play position.
    Almost feels as though something isn't clicking/catching when you push the tape in.
    Anyhow, I thought if worst comes to worst I'll just buy Sony's latest model - then the realisation they'd discontinued consumer HDV tape camcorders. Not a happy bunny.
    I've sent camcorder to local Sony repair center and am awaiting outcome.
    Now my questions are:
    1 - Is there any way of simply reading the tape data using an SD camcorder if I ever needed to ? - There are programs that use them to archive data so I guess in theory it must be possible just to read the data, unless it's stored in an SD compliant file format rather than just data.
    2 - is 1080i HDV (1440x1080 res) as captured by the Sony HC3 a cross-vendor format or Sony specific - (if 1 is impossible) could I if needed say pick up a Canon HDV camcorder and use that to import my video?
    3 - are we to assume now that DV/HDV is dead as a consumer format despite it's better image quality compared to hard drive/memory card video codecs.
    Hopefully Sony will repair my camcorder for a fixed rate charge - if they can't or won't what are my options for importing the video I've got on tape?
    There are bound to be companies who'll do this for a fee if worst comes to worst, but I feel a bit annoyed with Sony for dropping support for the format after buying an expensive camcorder only a few years ago.
    Even if it can be repaired, I'm not sure I'll want to continue using it if there's a risk of future failure and inability to import old tapes. Frankly I'm glad I've used the video function on my Canon 5D II a lot in the last year or so for quick video clips even if many are transiently OOF.
    Yes, my fault for not importing the tapes immediately after shooting, but I'd assumed that I would be able to import the data well into the future evene if it meant a new device.

    HDV is not dead!!! Heavens, the pros laugh at AVCHD and hard drive based cameras. When you shoot on HDV tape, you have a backup.
    Sony do still manufacture HDV pro camcorders of course - it's the early adopter consumer they've left in the lurch.
    One of my original reasons for using tape was this automatic backup - silly of me not to routinely import tapes to Mac of course.
    To answer your questions:
    1. No, you can't read it with an SD camera. you are correct that it is just 12GB of data, but no software really knows how to go back and forth, so to speak. In case you care, there was an app years ago (I forget which) that could use a Dv camera as a 12GB backup drive. But practically, no.
    Shame really seeing as it's just data - I'd used the Firewire SDK kit DVHSCap app to pull off 12-13GB m2ts files in the past which I felt would be ok for computer archival, unedited direct playback on PS3 and fairly quick to convert to AIC as needed for future editing purposes using a utility.
    I did wonder if DVHSCap might be able to pull the data from an SD camcorder, but maybe the tape just would not play.
    2. HDV is HDV. If you had problems, pros would advise you to import with the same camera, or at least same brand. But, usually there are no problems. There shouldn't be, but occasionally there are.
    I was hoping this was the case, great.
    3. Image quality is NOT better with hard drive based camcorders. In fact, most use a higher rate of compression than HDV. What is the advantage? A tape-based camera takes an hour to import and hour. Hard drive cams go faster. Some look great, but there is no advantage over HDV.
    Yes, the only advantage of HD/card based camcorders is simpler import faster than real time, and I'd always been concerned with HD camcorders you'd have too many eggs in one basket if the HD failed in between imports to computer.
    I own an HC-3, and you have to realize it was an early camera in the high-def market. I don't use it often (except as a secondary) because of its optics.
    I've always found it produced pretty acceptable results - constantly amazed that 3-4 year old products get regarded as obsolete by manufacturers who just want you to buy the latest gadget.
    Here is my advice:
    Get a Canon HDV camera. Use it to import your tapes, and enjoy its superior optics and color quality. Opinion? Yes, but I believe it.
    I may consider that if repair fails - any model recommendations that would trounce the Sony?
    Cheers

  • Sony PS-LS300USB Turntable

    I purchased this turntable about 4 years ago and never tried to download my records. I wish to do this now but can't find the software. I contacted Sony and they told me I can't load that old software because it will not work on my Windows 7 64bit laptop. I asked for help in where I can get the updated software and drivers for this computer and this is what I am trying to do. Can anyone out there help me... BGordon1

    For computers that are not compatible with the supplied Sound Forge software I've found that Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) works fine with this turntable (and it's free).

  • FCP and Sony PMW 320 love question

    So we are ready to FINALLY upgrade to HD here at our channel. I have been looking at the Sony PMW320s and reading about the MPEG2 Long Frame recording. I wanted to know if anyone has good or bad FCP editing experience with this. From what I can tell it is going to be similar to HDV?
    I am mainly concerned about transcoding times to ProRes.
    I was hoping to be done with HDV but the fact that it records to SDHC cards as opposed to optical discs that require another $3000 machines at desks is an advantage to me.
    Thanks for any input on this...

    If I receive HDV media on a hard drive, and don't have time to transcode to ProRes, I usually create a matching HDV timeline, then switch the sequence compressor to ProRes, and change the Render Control codec to ProRes too (even though I could keep it on 'Same as Sequence Codec').
    Good. But you don't need to switch the render Control to ProRes, if your sequence already is. Well, actually, if you do this you make an ANAMORPHIC ProRes sequence. Just make a ProRes sequence and drop the HDV into it. THen you are full raster from the get go. But, the other way isn't bad... I've done it.
    I switch the sequence to ProRes because I bring in a lot of graphics elements, and usually heavily stylise the images, lots of on-screen texts facts and crawlers etc, so rendering is inevitable.
    Smart smart smart...!
    Could you reassure me; if I have limited time and transcoding hours and hours of HDV to ProRes before I edit isn't an option, is the above work-flow correct?
    Consider yourself assured. Just edit in a ProRes sequence and all will be good.

  • Recommendations for Analog to Digital conversion

    I am seeking the help of all the Pros out there. I am moving my extensive analog music collection (LP/Cassette) to the digital world. Are there any recommendations for creating a CD-quality sound/volume level. I am currently using the standards (click/pop/hiss reduction, compressor and/or hard limiting). I am recording at 44.1/16 Bit and saving files in mp3 PRO-320 kbps for sake of storage. I welcome any assistance in regard to Plug-ins, equalization or other suggestions.
    Thank you in advance

    >I am recording at 44.1/16 Bit and saving files in mp3 PRO-320 kbps for sake of storage. I welcome any assistance in regard to Plug-ins, equalization or other suggestions.
    You shouldn't save files as MP3s until all the processing you want to do has been done - this is a lossy format, and every time you open a file saved like this it gets re-decoded, and then re-encoded when you do a save. And the quality degeneration is progressive. And unfortunately, recording your files as 16-bit is also not going to be quite the thing to do if you are going to do any sort of amplitude processing at all, either, especially if you are recording at a lower-than-optimum amplitude, which is usually the case. 44.1k is fine, though!
    So, to get over the potential problems, the thing to do is to digitise your files as 44.1k 32-bit floating point, and until all processing is done, store them as Windows PCM wav files in this format, because that is uncompressed, which is what you need.
    If you want to reduce noise on cassette recordings, it's worth using a fairly high FFT setting, even though it takes longer to do the processing. Since most of the noise is not LF, this tends to work better, although there is also a case for doing the NR twice, once with a lower FFT setting and once with a higher one, but not trying to take out too much in one go.
    As for click reduction - well, you have to experiment. But letting the software determine all of the levels tends to give you a pretty good starting point. Another trick that's sometimes worth it is to transform your files temporarily to M-S stereo instead of L-R, and treat each channel separately - you generally get different levels of clicks in each, usually more in the S signal, whilst the M cancels out quite a few. And in general, the less clicks you can get away with processing, the better.
    Hard limiting? Never used it on a conversion like that at all, and wouldn't even consider it - transients are already likely to be distorted, and hard limiting them further seems like a
    very strange thing to do...
    Other tools that are useful, especially on cassettes are iZotope's Ozone (some of which is already in Audition) and HarBal. You can restore usually distorted frequency responses with the latter, and get a good average value automatically and easily. And judicious use of Ozone's enhancer can make them seem a lot less like the results came from a cassette...
    One of the useful things you can do with Ozone is to selectively widen parts of the spectrum. Since most records of music tend (for reasons of tracking) to have had the bass forced to be virtually mono, with subsequent similar consequences for other instruments with substantial LF content, it's worth expanding just about everything under about 250Hz, possibly by more than you might think.
    Generally, 'normal' EQ doesn't have a lot of use when processing vinyl, if it's relatively recent. And that generally means anything from the 60's onwards. If you think things are seriously wrong, the chances are that it's your monitors and environment that are misleading you. Just bear in mind that when this stuff was produced, it was all monitored in a professional environment - more so than it might be today, even.
    No doubt there will be a few other responses - I don't think that the foregoing is anything like complete, but is at least a start.

  • XBR-75X940C setup question.

    I recently purchased a 940C and I am wondering about setup. I have a new Pioneer Elite SC-91 receiver I am using with the TV and it is HDCP 2.2 compliant. I am running a Sony 4k media player, DirecTV and Apple TV into the receiver via HDMI and then another single HDMI to the Sony 940C. My question is which HDMI input on the TV should I use? I want to be able to make sure I can send sound from the TV Apps to my receiver. Thanks.

    HDMI4/ARC input. I have the more or less the same setup, except for the sony media player. Make sure you use a HDMI 2.0 cable from your receiver to the TV. You will also have to do a HDMI sync on your receiver. Unplug the receiver after all connections are complete, keep the TV on.

  • Is Accuweather discontinued for Sony Ericsson Elm?

    I am very fond of my Elm, that has had all the functions I need, but since some months the app Accuweather has stopped working. It says "Wait while the weather is updated..." endlessly. Has Accuweather stopped sending info to this old Java app or what? I can't find any info och their homepage. My wife also has an Elm, and it's the same problem with that one.

  • Will Photoshop Elements12 accept RAW files directly from Sony rx100ii

    I already own Photoshop Elements 10 but it won't accept raw files from my recently purchased Sony rx100ii. My question is: If I upgrade to Photoshop Elements 12 does this program allow RAW downloads directly from this camera?

    Hi,
    According to the table Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras the RX100 II is supported by camera raw 8.2.
    PSE 12 can be updated to include that version of camera raw. If you want, you could always check it out by downloading the trial version of PSE 12. The trial version can easily be converted to a full version if you decide to buy it.
    The other alternative is to download & install the free Adobe DNG converter. Use that to convert your raw files to DNG format which can then be used by PSE 10.

    Did you use the very same camera on either Mac or just the same model? When my Mac (also G5 1.8 Dual, though the earlier spring model) had problems recognizing my Sony, it was a question of setting the USB mode on the camera: E.G. my camera allow to set its USB mode to either Normal or PTP, the PTP setting caused problems at times, though its too long to tell, of which nature they were.
