Troubleshooting

Ensure the unit is plugged in and powered on. Check that the turntable is not obstructed and that the drive belt (if applicable to the model) is properly seated. Verify the speed setting is correctly selected.
Skipping or distorted sound from vinyl.
Ensure the record player is on a level surface. Clean the stylus with a stylus brush. Check the record for dirt or damage. Adjust the tonearm balance and tracking force if possible, referring to the user manual.
Bluetooth connection issues.
Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your device and the Victrola is in Bluetooth pairing mode. Move devices closer together and ensure no other Bluetooth devices are interfering. Restart both the Victrola and your device.
