FAQs

Do I need to buy separate speakers for this turntable?

No, the VICTROLA Harmony comes with a pair of matching stereo bookshelf speakers, providing a complete audio solution right out of the box.

Can I connect this turntable to my existing Bluetooth soundbar?

Yes, the VINYLSTREAM™ Bluetooth output allows you to wirelessly stream your vinyl records to any standard Bluetooth-enabled speaker or headphones.

Can I play all types of vinyl records?

Yes, this turntable supports playback at three speeds: 33 1⁄3, 45, and 78 RPM, covering most vinyl record formats.

How do I stream music from my phone to the turntable's speakers?

Use the Bluetooth connectivity (input) feature. Put your phone or tablet in Bluetooth pairing mode and select the Victrola turntable from the list of available devices. Once paired, you can play music from your phone through the Victrola speakers.

What is the Audio Technica ATN3600L cartridge?

It is a moving magnet cartridge designed to deliver clear and detailed sound reproduction from your vinyl records.

How do I protect the turntable when it's not in use?

The turntable includes a detachable dust cover. Keep this cover on when the turntable is not in operation to protect the platter, stylus, and records from dust and debris.

What is the difference between Bluetooth output and Bluetooth input?

Bluetooth output (VINYLSTREAM™) sends the sound *from* the turntable (your vinyl) *to* external Bluetooth devices like speakers or headphones. Bluetooth input allows you to send audio *from* your phone or tablet *to* the Victrola's built-in speakers.

Troubleshooting

Turntable not playing any sound.

Check that the speakers are properly connected to the turntable and powered on. Ensure the volume is turned up on both the turntable and the speakers (if applicable). Verify the correct input source is selected.

Bluetooth connection fails.

Ensure the device you are trying to connect is within range and in pairing mode. Turn off and on the Bluetooth on both the turntable and the connecting device. Try restarting both devices. Ensure no other devices are actively connected via Bluetooth.

Sound is distorted or skipping.

Check if the record is clean and free of scratches. Ensure the turntable is on a level surface. Verify the stylus is clean and properly seated. If the issue persists, the stylus may need replacement.

No sound from Bluetooth output to external speakers/headphones.

Confirm the turntable is in Bluetooth output mode and successfully paired with your external device. Check the volume on the external Bluetooth device. Ensure the turntable's built-in speakers are not muted if a specific setting controls this.

Turntable is vibrating or humming.

Ensure the turntable is placed on a stable, level surface. Check that the turntable's feet are properly adjusted. Some ambient hum can be normal, but excessive noise might indicate a grounding issue or interference.
