FAQs
Can I connect this turntable to any Bluetooth speaker?
Yes, the VINYLSTREAM Bluetooth output is compatible with most standard Bluetooth speakers and headphones.
Do I need a separate amplifier or receiver?
If you are using wired connections, you will need either an amplifier with phono inputs or a receiver. Alternatively, you can connect directly to powered speakers using the turntable's RCA output.
How do I play a 45 RPM record?
Place the 45 RPM adapter (if needed for the record's spindle hole) onto the spindle, place the record on the platter, and select the 45 RPM speed setting before pressing play.
What is the purpose of the built-in phono pre-amp?
The built-in phono pre-amp boosts the weak signal from the cartridge to a line-level signal that can be processed by your amplifier or powered speakers. The adjustable boost allows for some equalization.
Can I play my vinyl wirelessly to my phone?
No, the turntable only has Bluetooth output to send audio to speakers or headphones. It does not have Bluetooth input, nor can it stream directly to a phone without a compatible Bluetooth receiver.
How do I clean the stylus?
It is recommended to use a specialized carbon fiber stylus brush. Gently brush the stylus from back to front only, following the direction of the groove, to remove dust and debris.
Troubleshooting
Turntable not playing sound
Ensure the RCA cables are securely connected to both the turntable and your amplifier/speakers. Verify that the input source on your amplifier/speakers is set correctly. Check that the volume is turned up. If using Bluetooth, ensure the turntable is paired with your speaker and within range.
Bluetooth connection issues
Make sure the turntable's Bluetooth is turned on and in pairing mode. Ensure your speaker or headphones are also discoverable. Try turning off and on the Bluetooth on both devices and attempt to re-pair. Keep devices within close proximity during pairing.
Skipping or distorted audio
Check that the turntable is on a perfectly level surface. Ensure the record is clean and free from scratches. Verify that the tonearm counterweight is properly balanced and the tracking force is set correctly (refer to cartridge specifications if adjusted). Clean the stylus gently.
Automatic tonearm not lifting/returning
Ensure the unit is plugged in and powered on. Check if there are any obstructions preventing the tonearm's movement. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
