Full details
The Lenco LS-50 WOOD is a modern, user-friendly record player designed for anyone looking to easily enjoy their vinyl collection. Its key benefit is the all-in-one design with built-in speakers, allowing for immediate playback.

FAQs
What type of stylus does the Lenco LS-50 WOOD use?
The Lenco LS-50 WOOD uses a ceramic stereo cartridge with a replaceable stylus. A spare stylus is typically included with the turntable.
Can I connect this turntable to my existing sound system?
Yes, the Lenco LS-50 WOOD features an RCA output on the back, allowing you to connect it to external amplifiers or powered speakers.
How do I digitize my vinyl records?
Connect the turntable to your PC using the USB port. Use appropriate recording software on your PC to capture the audio from the vinyl as it plays. Save the recording in your desired digital format (e.g., MP3, WAV).
Does this turntable have a built-in phono pre-amplifier?
The turntable has a built-in stereo amplifier, which powers the built-in speakers and provides the line-level output via RCA. This means it can be connected directly to powered speakers or an amplifier without needing a separate phono pre-amplifier.
What is the purpose of the adjustable counterweight?
The adjustable counterweight on the tonearm allows you to set the precise downward pressure of the stylus onto the record groove. Correctly setting this pressure is crucial for optimal sound quality and to prevent excessive wear on both the stylus and your vinyl records.
Is this considered a high-fidelity turntable?
The Lenco LS-50 WOOD is designed for ease of use and casual listening rather than professional high-fidelity (Hi-Fi) performance. While it offers good sound for its class, true audiophiles may prefer turntables with more advanced features and components.
How do I clean the turntable?
Wipe the exterior with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. For the platter mat, remove and clean as needed. The stylus should be cleaned with a specialized stylus brush, moving from back to front.
Troubleshooting
Turntable not powering on
Ensure the power adapter is securely connected to the turntable and a working power outlet. Check if the power indicator light is on.
Record skipping or distorting
Verify the turntable is on a level surface. Check if the counterweight is properly adjusted. Ensure the stylus is clean and not damaged. Clean the record itself.
No sound from built-in speakers
Check if the volume is turned up. Ensure no external audio system is actively engaged through the RCA output if not intended.
USB connection not recognized by PC
Ensure the USB cable is securely connected at both ends. Try a different USB port on your PC. Restart your PC. Ensure you have compatible recording software installed.
Turntable running too fast or too slow
Confirm the correct speed setting (33, 45, or 78 RPM) has been selected for the record being played. Ensure the belt is properly seated on the motor pulley and platter.
