Sony PS-LX310BT Operating Instructions Manual page 21

• When you do not intend to record audio
tracks onto a computer, it is recommended
that you disconnect the USB cable from your
turntable. With a computer connected to the
turntable via the USB port, playback with the
connected audio device may cause noises.
• When a computer is connected to your
turntable to record with a USB cable, audio
that has been adjusted using the turntable's
built-in phono preamp is sent to the
computer's USB port, regardless of the
position of the OUTPUT SELECT switch on
the back of the turntable.
Setting up your computer
You must do the settings for the recording
device and the playback device on your
computer in advance to record the vinyl
record's audio tracks. When doing the
settings, make sure that your turntable is
connected to the computer with a USB
cable and that the turntable is turned on.
