FAQs
What record speeds does the Crosley Voyager support?
The Crosley Voyager supports three standard record speeds: 33 1/3, 45, and 78 RPM, allowing you to play most vinyl records.
Can I connect external speakers to the Voyager?
Yes, you can connect external speakers or a home stereo system using the RCA outputs located on the back of the player. Alternatively, you can use its Bluetooth output feature to wirelessly stream audio to Bluetooth-enabled speakers or headphones.
Does the Voyager have built-in speakers?
Yes, the Crosley Voyager features two built-in speakers, allowing you to play records directly out of the box without needing additional audio equipment.
How does the 2-way Bluetooth functionality work?
The 2-way Bluetooth means the Voyager can act as both a Bluetooth receiver and a Bluetooth transmitter. As a receiver, you can stream music from your phone to the Voyager's built-in speakers. As a transmitter, you can stream the audio from your vinyl records to external Bluetooth headphones or speakers.
What type of needle (stylus) does it use?
The Crosley Voyager comes equipped with an NP6 needle. Replacements are readily available if needed.
Is the Crosley Voyager designed for portability?
Yes, its lightweight and briefcase-style design, complete with a handle, makes it highly portable and easy to carry to different locations or store away.
What is the auto-stop function?
The auto-stop function automatically stops the turntable platter from spinning once a record has finished playing. This helps to reduce wear on your stylus and records, and conserves power.
Can I connect non-Bluetooth devices for audio input?
Yes, in addition to Bluetooth input, the Voyager includes a 3.5mm aux-in port, allowing you to connect devices like MP3 players or other audio sources with a standard audio cable.
Troubleshooting
No sound from internal speakers.
Ensure the power adapter is securely connected and the unit is turned on. Check the volume knob; make sure it's not at its lowest setting. If headphones or RCA cables are connected, disconnect them to enable internal speakers.
Record skipping or distorted sound.
Ensure the record player is on a completely stable and level surface. Clean the record thoroughly to remove dust or debris. Check the stylus (needle) for any visible damage or accumulated dust; clean it gently if needed. A worn stylus can also cause skipping, consider replacing it if it's old.
Bluetooth device won't connect.
Ensure the Voyager is in Bluetooth pairing mode (often indicated by a flashing light). Make sure Bluetooth is enabled and visible on your external device (phone, speaker). Try moving the devices closer together. Disconnect any other Bluetooth devices that might be simultaneously trying to pair with either the Voyager or your external device.
Record speed sounds incorrect (too fast/slow).
Verify that the speed selector switch is set to the correct RPM (33 1/3, 45, or 78) for the record you are playing. Use the pitch control knob to make slight adjustments to the playback speed if needed.

Care
- Stylus Care: Periodically check the NP6 stylus for dust or debris. Use a soft stylus brush (brushing front-to-back only) to clean it. Replace the stylus approximately every 1000 hours of playback or if sound quality degrades.
- Record Care: Keep records clean and free of dust. Handle them by the edges to avoid transferring oils from your skin.
