Worst birthday ever

I bought this turntable as a gift for my husband's birthday after reading good reviews here. The turntable arrived on time and intact, and I excitedly wrapped it along with several of his favorite albums. He was overjoyed to open it and started setting it up the next day. The software that came with this product asked for an item number, which was nowhere to be found. When we contacted Sony for more information, my husband was told that this product hasn't been in production since 2009, and because it is "SO OLD" they wouldn't be able to help us. This prompted my husband to ask me where I got it, and how much I paid for it. I was mortified. After some online sleuthing, he finally got the turntable to work -- it took over an hour to figure out, and he's no slouch! But, it gets worse. When he put a record on, it played way too fast. He found other reviews saying they had the same problem, and the support response was that the motor was defective and would need to go in for repairs. Remember -- this was a new turntable right out of the box. Unbelievable! Not only am I embarrassed, but incredibly disappointed that a gift could turn out so bad. I now have a bunch of vinyl and a special stand, with no workable turntable. Needless to say, I'm taking this back and demanding a refund. My advice -- literally buy any turntable but this one. Surely you can find one from this decade that will work better. If only Best Buy sold time machines so I could go back and save myself the hassle and embarrassment.
