Troubleshooting
No sound from the built-in speakers or external system.
Check that the turntable is powered on and the volume knob is turned up. Ensure the correct input source (Phono or Bluetooth) is selected. If using RCA, confirm cables are securely connected and the external system is on and set to the correct input.
Bluetooth device won't pair with the turntable (Bluetooth In).
Make sure the turntable is in Bluetooth receiving mode (usually indicated by a flashing light). Ensure your device's Bluetooth is on and it's within range. Try unpairing and re-pairing the device. Disconnect any other devices previously paired with the turntable.
Record playback speed sounds incorrect (too fast or too slow).
Verify that you have selected the correct RPM (33 1/3, 45, or 78) for the record you are playing. Use the adjustable pitch control knob to fine-tune the speed if it's slightly off.
Records are skipping or distorted during playback.
Ensure the turntable is placed on a perfectly flat and stable surface to minimize vibrations. Check if the record is clean and free of dust or debris. Inspect the stylus for any visible damage or accumulated dirt.
Turntable platter is not spinning.
Confirm the turntable is plugged in and powered on. Check the belt if visible (on the underside of the platter) to ensure it is properly seated around the motor pulley and the platter rim. Reset the power by unplugging and re-plugging the unit.
Unable to connect turntable to external Bluetooth speaker/headphones (Bluetooth Out).
Ensure your external Bluetooth device is in pairing mode. Activate the turntable's Bluetooth Out function (consult manual for specific button/indicator). Keep devices close during pairing. Disconnect other Bluetooth devices to avoid interference.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Getting started with your Crosley Voyager Turntable is straightforward, and maintaining it will ensure its longevity and performance.
Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging, ensuring no pieces are left behind.
- Power Connection: Plug the provided power adapter into the turntable's power input and then into a wall outlet.
- Placement: Position the turntable on a flat, stable, and level surface away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and heavy vibrations. This helps prevent skipping and maintains sound quality.
- Initial Power On: Turn the main power/volume knob clockwise until it clicks and the power indicator lights up.
Compatibility
- Records: Compatible with 33 1/3 RPM LPs, 45 RPM singles (a 45 adapter is often included or easily obtainable for large-hole records), and 78 RPM shellac records.
- Bluetooth Devices: Works with most Bluetooth-enabled smartphones, tablets, computers (for Bluetooth In), and Bluetooth headphones or speakers (for Bluetooth Out).
- Audio Systems: The RCA output jacks are compatible with standard audio inputs on receivers, amplifiers, and powered speakers. Ensure your external audio system has suitable RCA inputs.
Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning the Turntable: Wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Stylus Care: The stylus (needle) is delicate. Use a soft brush designed for styli to gently remove dust from the tip, brushing from back to front. Replace the stylus regularly (e.g., every 500-1000 hours of play) to prevent damage to your records and maintain sound quality.
- Record Care: Keep your records clean and free of dust. Use a carbon fiber brush before each play and store them vertically in their sleeves.
- Storage: When not in use, store the turntable in a cool, dry place. If it has a dust cover (not explicitly mentioned in the product description, but often a useful accessory), keep it closed to protect the platter and stylus.
