How Do I Connect My Audio Technica Bluetooth Turntable
Connecting your Audio Technica Bluetooth turntable to other devices is a simple process that can be completed in just a few steps.
First, make sure that the device you want to connect to is within 1 meter (3 feet) of the turntable. This will ensure that the pairing process goes smoothly.
Next, put the device you want to connect into “pairing mode.” This will allow it to discover other Bluetooth signals. Refer to your device’s user manual if you’re not sure how to do this.
Now it’s time to put your turntable into pairing mode. Locate the Wireless Function Button and LED on the turntable. Press and hold the Wireless Function Button until the LED flashes red and blue. This indicates that the turntable’s wireless transmitter is in “Pairing Mode” and searching for another device to pair with.
The LED will turn solid blue when it has successfully paired with your device. You can now begin to listen to your turntable wirelessly through your paired device.
It’s important to note that most Bluetooth devices, including the turntable, will pair fairly quickly. If the turntable does not see the other Bluetooth device after about 30 seconds, pairing mode automatically times out and the LED extinguishes. If either device times out while trying to pair, simply put them back into pairing mode and repeat the pairing process.
Understanding Bluetooth Technology
To understand how your Audio Technica Bluetooth turntable connects to other devices, it’s important to have a basic understanding of Bluetooth technology. Bluetooth is a wireless networking protocol that uses low power, low cost transmitters and receivers to connect devices without the need for wires. It’s a standardized protocol for sending and receiving data via a 2.4GHz wireless link, and it’s perfect for short-range, low-power, low-cost, wireless transmissions between electronic devices.
Bluetooth signals are designed to cover short distances of about 10-100 meters, making it ideal for mobile use. The technology relies on short-range radio frequency, and any device that incorporates the technology can communicate as long as it is within the required distance. Bluetooth uses 79 different radio frequencies in a small band around 2.4 GHz, which is also used by Wi-Fi. However, Bluetooth uses so little power that interference with Wi-Fi communication is negligible.
When two devices are being paired, they randomly pick up one of the available 79 frequencies to make a connection, and once that connection is established, they keep hopping across these frequencies many times a second. The connection will automatically break if the devices move too far apart, and they’ll reconnect once they come within range again.
To connect your Audio Technica Bluetooth turntable to another device, you need to put both devices into pairing mode. Pairing mode allows the devices to discover each other’s Bluetooth signals and establish a connection. Once the turntable’s wireless transmitter is in “Pairing Mode” and searching for another device to pair with, the LED will flash red and blue. The LED will turn solid blue when it has successfully paired with your device.
Preparing Your Audio Technica Bluetooth Turntable
Before you can connect your Audio Technica Bluetooth turntable to other devices, you need to prepare it for pairing. The process is straightforward and can be completed in just a few steps.
First, ensure that the device you want to connect to is within 1 meter (3 feet) of the turntable. This proximity will help ensure that the pairing process goes smoothly.
Next, put the device you want to connect into “pairing mode.” This mode allows it to discover other Bluetooth signals. If you’re not sure how to do this, refer to your device’s user manual.
Now it’s time to put your turntable into pairing mode. Locate the Wireless Function Button and LED on the turntable. Press and hold the Wireless Function Button until the LED flashes red and blue. This indicates that the turntable’s wireless transmitter is in “Pairing Mode” and searching for another device to pair with.
The LED will turn solid blue when it has successfully paired with your device. You can now begin to listen to your turntable wirelessly through your paired device.
It’s important to note that most Bluetooth devices, including the turntable, will pair fairly quickly. If the turntable does not see the other Bluetooth device after about 30 seconds, pairing mode automatically times out and the LED extinguishes. If either device times out while trying to pair, simply put them back into pairing mode and repeat the pairing process.
By following these simple steps, you’ll be able to connect your Audio Technica Bluetooth turntable to other devices and enjoy high-quality audio wirelessly.
Pairing Your Turntable With Other Bluetooth Devices
Pairing your Audio Technica Bluetooth turntable with other Bluetooth devices is a great way to enjoy your records wirelessly. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to pair your turntable with other Bluetooth devices.
Step 1: Make sure the device you want to connect is within 1 meter (3 feet) of the turntable. This will ensure that the pairing process goes smoothly.
Step 2: Put the device you want to connect into “pairing mode”. This will allow it to discover other Bluetooth signals. Refer to your device’s user manual if you’re not sure how to do this.
Step 3: Put your turntable into pairing mode. Locate the Wireless Function Button and LED on the turntable. Press and hold the Wireless Function Button until the LED flashes red and blue. This indicates that the turntable’s wireless transmitter is in “Pairing Mode” and searching for another device to pair with.
Step 4: Wait for the LED to turn solid blue. This indicates that your turntable has successfully paired with your device. You can now begin to listen to your turntable wirelessly through your paired device.
It’s important to note that most Bluetooth devices, including the turntable, will pair fairly quickly. If the turntable does not see the other Bluetooth device after about 30 seconds, pairing mode automatically times out and the LED extinguishes. If either device times out while trying to pair, simply put them back into pairing mode and repeat the pairing process.
In addition, it’s worth mentioning that the Audio Technica LP60XBT can save pairing information for up to 8 devices, but it will only communicate with one device at a time. When the turntable is transmitting via Bluetooth, the Bluetooth receiving device is used to control volume, equalization and other audio related functions.
Troubleshooting Common Connection Issues
While connecting your Audio Technica Bluetooth turntable to other devices is generally a straightforward process, there may be some common connection issues that you may encounter. One such issue is when the turntable does not pair with any devices, or if it stops pairing with your devices altogether.
If you experience this issue, one possible solution is to perform a reset procedure on the turntable. To do this, press and hold down the Bluetooth button on the turntable for about 8-10 seconds. You will see the indicator light flash red and blue rapidly back and forth, but keep holding down the button until you see the light blink red slowly twice, and then go back to flashing red and blue. Once the light goes back to flashing red and blue, you may let go of the button. Wait for the flashing light to time out and go back to solid red. Once the light is solid red, the reset has been completed.
After resetting the turntable, try putting it back into pairing mode (flashing red/blue) and put your Bluetooth receiving device (speaker or headphones) back into pairing mode. If your turntable is still having trouble pairing with your devices, then there may be another device (such as a smartphone, tablet, other speakers, or even a wifi router) causing wireless interference within your environment.
It’s also important to note that Bluetooth compresses audio heavily, which can reduce quality. If you want to enjoy high-quality audio from your turntable, it’s recommended that you use wired speakers instead of wireless ones. Additionally, make sure that your device is within range and in pairing mode before attempting to connect it to your turntable. By following these troubleshooting steps, you can ensure that your Audio Technica Bluetooth turntable stays connected to your devices seamlessly.
