FAQs
Can I connect my Crosley Voyager to external speakers?
Yes, the Crosley Voyager features RCA output jacks on the back. You can connect these to a pair of powered speakers or to the 'Aux In' or 'Line In' inputs on an amplifier or stereo receiver using standard RCA cables for a more powerful audio experience.
How do I stream music from my phone to the turntable?
To stream music from your phone, ensure no record is playing on the turntable. The turntable will automatically be in Bluetooth receiver mode. Go to the Bluetooth settings on your phone or tablet, find 'Crosley Voyager' in the list of devices, and connect. Your digital audio will then play through the turntable's speakers.
Can I listen to my records with wireless headphones?
Yes, the Crosley Voyager includes a 'Bluetooth Out' feature. This allows the turntable to transmit the audio from your records wirelessly to Bluetooth-enabled headphones or external Bluetooth speakers for private listening or broader sound distribution.
What record speeds does the Voyager support?
The Crosley Voyager supports three standard record speeds: 33 1/3 RPM for LPs (long-playing records), 45 RPM for singles and EPs, and 78 RPM for vintage shellac records. Make sure to select the correct speed for the record you are playing.
Is the Crosley Voyager portable?
Yes, its lightweight design and compact dimensions (H:7.2 x W:13.5 x D:17.3 cm) make the Crosley Voyager easily transportable, allowing you to enjoy your vinyl collection in different rooms or take it to a friend's house.
How do I clean the turntable and my records?
For the turntable, use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For records, use a dedicated record cleaning brush before each play to remove dust. Handle records by the edges to prevent fingerprints and always store them vertically in their sleeves.
Troubleshooting
No sound from built-in speakers or RCA output.
Ensure the power adapter is securely connected and the unit is turned on. Check the volume knob on the turntable. If using RCA out, verify that your external speakers or amplifier are powered on and set to the correct input. For Bluetooth streaming, ensure the device is paired and volume is up on both the source and turntable.
Record playback speed is too fast or too slow.
First, confirm you have selected the correct speed (33 1/3, 45, or 78 RPM) using the `SPEED` switch. If the issue persists, use the `PITCH CONTROL` knob to make fine adjustments to the playback speed until it sounds correct.
Bluetooth device won't pair with the turntable.
Ensure the turntable is in Bluetooth receiving mode (no record playing) or Bluetooth Out mode (if transmitting). Make sure your external Bluetooth device is discoverable and within range. Try turning both devices off and on again. Disconnect any other Bluetooth devices previously paired to avoid interference.
Skipping or distorted sound during playback.
Check if the record is clean and free of dust or debris. Ensure the turntable is placed on a stable, level surface to minimize vibrations. Inspect the stylus for any visible damage or dust buildup; clean it gently if necessary. A worn stylus can also cause skipping and distortion, requiring replacement (Info needed: confirm stylus replacement process).

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper setup and care will ensure your Crosley Voyager provides years of enjoyment.
Initial Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove the turntable and all accessories from the packaging.
- Placement: Place the turntable on a flat, stable, and level surface away from direct sunlight, heat sources, or excessive vibrations.
- Power: Connect the included power adapter to the `DC IN` port on the back of the turntable and then plug it into a wall outlet.
- Dust Cover: If applicable, install the dust cover (sold separately or included depending on specific model).
Compatibility
- Records: Compatible with 33 1/3 RPM LPs, 45 RPM singles, and 78 RPM shellac records. Ensure you have the correct stylus for 78s if the standard stylus is not compatible (Info needed: confirm if standard stylus plays 78s or if a specific 78 stylus is required).
- External Speakers: Connects to any powered speakers or an amplifier/receiver system with RCA inputs using standard RCA cables (not included).
- Bluetooth Devices: Works with most Bluetooth-enabled smartphones, tablets, and wireless speakers/headphones.
Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning the Turntable: Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe down the exterior of the turntable. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Stylus Care: Periodically clean the stylus (needle) with a soft brush specifically designed for stylus cleaning, brushing gently from back to front. A dirty stylus can damage records and degrade sound quality.
- Record Care: Keep your records clean and free of dust. Store them vertically in their sleeves to prevent warping. Handle records by the edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin.
- Dust Cover: Keep the dust cover closed when not in use to protect the turntable from dust and debris.
- Belt Inspection: Over time, the drive belt may wear out. If you notice inconsistent speed or issues with playback, inspect the belt for signs of wear or stretching. Replacement belts are available from Crosley.
