Troubleshooting
Record player won't turn on.
Ensure the power adapter is securely plugged into both the player and a working wall outlet. Try a different outlet if necessary.
Bluetooth connection is unstable or won't pair.
Make sure the record player is within the 33-foot range of your device. Turn off Bluetooth on both the player and your device, then re-enable and try pairing again. Ensure no other Bluetooth devices are interfering.
Sound is distorted or skipping.
Ensure the record player is on a perfectly level and stable surface. Check that the record itself is not warped or damaged. Clean the stylus gently with a stylus brush. If the issue persists, the stylus may need replacement.
No sound from built-in speakers.
Verify that the volume is turned up. Check if headphones are plugged in, as this will disable the built-in speakers. If no headphones are plugged in, try cycling the power.
Record speed seems incorrect.
Ensure you have selected the correct speed (33, 45, or 78) for the record you are playing. The belt mechanism might need adjustment or a new belt if speed is consistently off.
