FAQS
Yes, it comes with a needle. Still really happy with this record player after almost 2 years.
No radio. Just a turntable and line for MP3 player. Works fine. Nice that we can easily move it from room to room. So far it’s been a good purchase.
I got mine for a Christmas gift from someone, I knew I was gonna move so I never took it out the box.. Got it out the box today, and it just don’t work.. The transit screw was in the wrong position ( not for transporting) Needle was already attached, and no extra needle like others claim. No twist tie and no Stylus cover.. I think my family bought one and this company sent a broken return to me.. Not happy, and seriously disappointing.. If you moved it without the moving the transit cover then the directions say it will stop working.. I am now going to buy another one, but I will not be buying this one. So Disappointing.. Suppose to be brand new in the box, and I get someone else s crap.
Make sure the adapter is sitting directly on the turntable and the adapter fits in the center hole of the record. Hope that solves your problem.
Not that I know of. We have had problems with ours but it was too late to return. We can only play some of our albums.
Not with this unit.
It will connect to any Bluetooth transmitting device (ex: phone Mp3) and play the music
I do not know yet I have not changed mine yet.
it uses a headphone cable, so yes it will work
Things are junk, wouldn’t play 2/3rd of my records. I suggest returning it. I was bummed cause it’s really cool visually.
