TROUBLESHOOTING
- My mobile phone can’t find any new Bluetooth devices.
- Make sure the Bluetooth speaker has entered pairing mode;
- Ensure the speaker is within the effective working range
- Bluetooth devices can’t pair up
- Make sure your mobile phone allows a new connection, did not reach the maximum allowed connection number, please ref to your mobile’s user manual;
- Make sure you click the right Bluetooth pairing name.
- My speaker does not play music /answer calls when it is connected to a Bluetooth mobile phone.
- Make sure your Bluetooth mobile phone supports A2DPand HSF(hands-free) profile;
- Ensure your Bluetooth cell phone is within effective working range.
- When paired with my computer, windows ask for a new driver. Can you supply it?
- We can’t supply. The Bluetooth A2DP/HSF drivers may require playing stereo sound via a Bluetooth Connection. But the driver is actually needed for the Bluetooth module on your PC, instead of the speaker. Different Bluetooth modules may require different drivers. Please contact your PC or Bluetooth module manufacturer for a driver updates.
- Why can’t I remotely control the pause, play, the previous song and skip track functions with the speaker when playing music?
- When you are using 3Smm AUX audio in connection, you can’t pause, change volume or skip tracks with the buttons on the speaker;
- This feature needs the Bluetooth devices paired with the speaker to support AVRCP Audio/Video Remote Control Profile). Please make sure your cell phone or other Bluetooth device supports AvRCP.

FAQs
Due to its mobile nature and retro design, I bought it for my parents. Perfect for gatherings in the backyard or when they travel in their RV. My father thinks the sound is fantastic. They use it with Pandora and as the RV’s TV speaker.
Since the record player has its own speakers, I’ve never tried it.
It is compatible with phones. Either a cable or Bluetooth can be used to connect. The speaker may be fully recharged and used wirelessly. On the front, it also includes touch controls for volume.
There is a 3.5mm aux port in the Gramophone speaker, but I can’t recall if it came with one or if I used my own.
The Victrola branding is visible on the base of the unit I received.
Simply plug the RCA input side of your cable into the turntable and the 3.5mm side of your cable into your Bluetooth speaker to connect your turntable to your house speakers.
Find the Bluetooth activation button on your record player and speakers by taking a look at them. If you don’t see the Bluetooth logo on this button, consult the user guide for your particular device if it isn’t the Bluetooth logo. Your devices will join the Bluetooth network after you press this button.
An alternative is to connect the device to a headphone jack. The item has a 5mm headphone connector on the front and RCA jacks for connecting external speakers on the back.
How can I connect my Bluetooth turntable? All you need is a Bluetooth transmitter and a phono preamp to send the signal from your turntable through Bluetooth. The transmitter needs to be connected to the turntable’s RCA output if it has an integrated preamp.
Verify that your amplifier and speakers are turned on. Remove the stylus protector (1) from the stylus (2) before playback if it is still there. Make sure it doesn’t come off with the stylus. Check your tonearm balance because the stylus won’t track in the record grooves without the proper tracking weight.
Look for a Flat Surface. There is a rationale for why Berliner’s creation was classified as a table. Check out the manual. Put the Record on the old-fashioned turntable. Verify that the speed is appropriate. Check to see if the disc is clean. Play the video.
Record players are naturally silent. They generate an electrical signal that needs to be amplified twice since it is so weak. This is what? It first undergoes internal or external preamplification, bringing it up to the same line level as a CD player.
That indicates that it is making an effort to pair with the Bluetooth device you are now using. And if my Bluetooth is turned on and my spouse tries to connect to it with his Bluetooth, I’ll need to turn it off on my phone because it will want to connect to that one by default and can only connect to one at a time.
Remove the turntable and disconnect the device first. The motor should then be cleaned of any dust or debris using a soft brush. After completing this, put the machine back together and try turning it on once more.
Once more, neither the stereo system nor the turntable will have an integrated phono preamp. This system has no exceptions because there is no other way for it to function.
