Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a Bluetooth speaker with this?

This turntable has a BLUETOOTH OUTPUT. Retro brown was the colour when I bought it in November 2021, and it had a bluetooth output. We had no issues using a bluetooth speaker to play records while we were connected wirelessly.

Are replacement needles included? Where can you buy them if not?

In addition to the needle already attached to the tonearm, the Victrola Bluetooth Suitcase Turntable also includes one new needle. There is a quick and easy way to receive a free replacement needle. On Victrola.com, you register your Victrola Bluetooth Suitcase Turntable. Victrola will send you a free replacement needle as a token of appreciation.

Where can I locate a replacement power cord if I need one?

Any ac/dc power supply that has a standard connector (5.5 mm outer diameter, 2.1 mm inner diameter, I believe) with positive on the inner and negative on the outer should work. It must output 5 volts at 1 amp (1000 milliamps). You can find a lot on Amazon; but, to be certain, measure the connection on your cord, if you still have it. then browse Amazon to pick one with the correct 5v/1 amp output and connector that is compatible with the voltage and outlet type in your region.

What is the AC adapter’s input voltage?

The output is DC 5V, 1A, while the input is AC 100-240V.

Does it have a plug for an outlet? Is the cord present if so?

The ac/DC cord must be purchased separately as it is not included. Am coming back.

Could it play a CD?

In reality, you can. Use a portable CD player and a 3.5mm male to male connection. One plug fits into the CD player’s headphone jack, and the other one fits into the turntable’s line-in jack. search on YouTube. There are many excellent videos on this product’s functions and how to use it.

A CD might it play?

You actually can. Use a 3.5mm male to male connector and a portable CD player. The headphone jack on a CD player accepts one plug, whereas the line-in jack on a turntable accepts the other. look it up on YouTube. There are many great videos online that explain how to use and operate this gadget.

Can I play via my soundbar using a regular stereo mini to rca conversion cable?

Yes, but it really stinks. No bass is present. Bass was present when using Bluetooth with a phone, but was absent when using any hard cable connections. I am so disappointed.

Can my iPhone be connected?

Yes, you can use the record player’s speakers to listen to music from your iPhone.

Is a sound bar compatible with it?

The soundbar can function if it has an RCA input jack. Please be aware that since this product is unable to transmit a Bluetooth signal, it cannot pair with speakers via Bluetooth.

What would be excellent? If you advised us that a plug wasn’t included and where we could buy one!

Everything has a plug that detaches from the device, which I detest. My son misplaced his, therefore I’m looking for a replacement.
