Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Retain packaging for future transport or storage.
2. Placement: Place the turntable on a flat, stable surface away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and excessive dust or vibration. Position the wireless speakers within range of the turntable, ensuring clear line of sight for optimal Bluetooth connection.
3. Power Connection: Connect the power adapter to the DC IN port on the back of the turntable. Plug the adapter into a wall outlet. Ensure the speakers are charged or connected to their respective power sources if they are not already.
4. Platter and Belt Setup: If the platter is not already installed, carefully place it onto the center spindle. Locate the drive belt (usually a black rubber band) and stretch it around the motor pulley and the inner rim of the platter.
5. Stylus Protector: Remove the clear plastic stylus protector from the needle before use. Be careful not to damage the stylus.

Operating the Turntable

1. Power On: Turn the POWER/VOLUME knob clockwise to power on the unit. The speakers should automatically connect to the turntable.
2. Select Speed: Choose the appropriate speed (33 1/3 or 45 RPM) using the speed selector switch, matching the record you intend to play. For 45 RPM records, place the included 45 RPM adapter on the center spindle.
3. Place Record: Carefully place a record on the turntable platter.
4. Tone Arm Operation: Gently lift the tone arm using the cue lever. Position the tone arm over the desired track on the record. Slowly lower the tone arm using the cue lever to begin playback.
5. Adjust Volume: Adjust the volume using the POWER/VOLUME knob on the turntable.
6. Auto-Stop Function: This turntable features an auto-stop function. When the record finishes playing, the platter will automatically stop spinning. To disable this function (e.g., for some records with a short run-out groove), use the AUTO STOP switch.
7. End Playback: When finished, gently lift the tone arm using the cue lever, return it to the tone arm rest, and lower the cue lever. Turn the POWER/VOLUME knob counter-clockwise to power off the unit.

Bluetooth Pairing

Your Victrola turntable system offers two Bluetooth functionalities:

• Turntable to Speakers: The turntable automatically pairs with its included wireless speakers upon power-on. No manual pairing is typically required for this connection.
• External Device to Speakers: You can stream music from an external Bluetooth device (e.g., smartphone, tablet) to the wireless speakers.

Pairing an External Device to Speakers:

1. Ensure the turntable is powered off or in a mode where it is not actively playing.
2. Power on the wireless speakers. They will enter pairing mode, indicated by a flashing LED light.
3. On your external Bluetooth device, enable Bluetooth and search for available devices.
4. Select "Victrola Speakers" (or similar name) from the list of devices.
5. Once paired, the LED indicator on the speakers will become solid, and you can now stream audio from your device to the speakers.

Maintenance

• Cleaning the Unit: Wipe the turntable and speakers with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Stylus Care: The stylus (needle) is delicate. Avoid touching it with your fingers. Clean the stylus periodically with a soft brush, brushing gently from back to front.
• Record Care: Keep your records clean to ensure optimal sound quality and prolong stylus life. Use a record brush before each play.
• Stylus Replacement: The stylus has a limited lifespan (typically 300-500 hours of play). If you notice a decrease in sound quality or skipping, the stylus may need replacement. Consult the Victrola website or authorized retailers for compatible replacement styli.
