How To Pair Audio Technica Turntable
The first step to pairing your Audio Technica turntable with another Bluetooth device is to ensure that both devices are within close proximity of each other. Ideally, they should be within 1 meter (3 feet) of each other.
Next, you’ll need to put your Bluetooth device into “pairing mode.” This will allow the turntable to discover the device and establish a connection.
To put your Bluetooth device into pairing mode, refer to the user manual for your specific device. The process may vary depending on the make and model of your device.
Once your Bluetooth device is in pairing mode, locate the Wireless Function Button and LED on the turntable. This button is used to activate the Bluetooth transmitter and to pair the turntable with other Bluetooth devices.
Press the Wireless Function Button to begin the pairing process. The LED will flash blue. Hold down the button until the LED flashes red and blue. Release the button. When the LED is flashing red and blue, 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 wireless device. You may now begin to listen to your turntable wirelessly through your paired device.
It’s important to note that most Bluetooth devices, including the Audio Technica turntable, will pair fairly quickly. If either device times out while trying to pair, simply put them back into pairing mode and repeat the pairing process.
Additionally, previously paired Bluetooth devices can become “unpaired.” If this happens, simply re-perform the pairing process.
Finally, it’s worth noting that the Audio Technica turntable will save pairing information for up to 8 devices, however, 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.
Understanding Bluetooth Pairing
Bluetooth pairing is the process of establishing a wireless connection between two Bluetooth-enabled devices. This process allows the devices to recognize and communicate with each other. In order to pair your Audio Technica turntable with another Bluetooth device, both devices must be in close proximity to each other and in pairing mode.
Pairing mode is a state in which a device is actively searching for other Bluetooth devices to connect with. To put your Bluetooth device into pairing mode, refer to the user manual for your specific device. Once in pairing mode, the Audio Technica turntable can discover the device and establish a connection.
To initiate the pairing process on the Audio Technica turntable, locate the Wireless Function Button and LED on the turntable. Press and hold the 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.
Once the turntable has successfully paired with your wireless device, you can begin listening to your turntable wirelessly through your paired device. It’s important to note that most Bluetooth devices will pair fairly quickly, but if either device times out while trying to pair, simply put them back into pairing mode and repeat the process.
It’s also worth noting that the Audio Technica turntable 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.
Preparing Your Audio Technica Turntable For Pairing
Before you can pair your Audio Technica turntable with another Bluetooth device, there are a few steps you need to take to prepare the turntable for pairing.
First, ensure that the turntable is plugged into an outlet and turned on. This will ensure that the Bluetooth transmitter is powered on and ready to pair with another device.
Next, place the other Bluetooth device close to the turntable (within 1 meter) to make certain the pairing process performs correctly. Then, set your Bluetooth device into “pairing mode.” You may need to refer to your wireless device’s user manual to learn how to set it for pairing.
Once your Bluetooth device is in pairing mode, locate the Wireless Function Button and LED on the turntable. This button is used to activate the Bluetooth transmitter and to pair the turntable with other Bluetooth devices.
Press the Wireless Function Button to begin the pairing process. The LED will flash blue. Hold down the button until the LED flashes red and blue. Release the button. When the LED is flashing red and blue, the turntable’s wireless transmitter is in “Pairing Mode” and searching for another device to pair with.
Once your turntable has successfully paired with your wireless device, you can begin listening wirelessly through your paired device. Remember that the Audio Technica turntable will save pairing information for up to 8 devices, but will only communicate with one device at a time.
Pairing Your Turntable With Headphones
If you want to pair your Audio Technica turntable with headphones, the process is very similar to pairing with any other Bluetooth device. First, make sure that your headphones are in pairing mode. Refer to the user manual for your specific headphones if you’re unsure how to do this.
Next, place your turntable and headphones within close proximity of each other. Press and hold down the Wireless Function Button on the turntable until the LED flashes red and blue. Release the button.
The LED will continue to flash red and blue, indicating that the turntable is in “Pairing Mode” and searching for another device to pair with. Within 30 seconds, your headphones should appear in the list of available devices on your turntable.
Select your headphones from the list of available devices on your turntable. Once paired, the LED will turn solid blue, indicating that your turntable has successfully paired with your headphones.
It’s important to note that if you’re having trouble pairing your turntable with your headphones, there may be other Bluetooth devices in the area causing interference. Make sure that all other Bluetooth devices are turned off or out of range before attempting to pair your turntable with headphones.
Troubleshooting Common Issues With Bluetooth Pairing
Despite the convenience of wireless Bluetooth pairing, it’s not uncommon for users to experience minor hiccups in their processing and connectivity. If you’re having trouble pairing your Audio Technica turntable with another Bluetooth device, there are a few common issues to look out for.
Firstly, ensure that both devices are within close proximity of each other. If they’re too far apart, the Bluetooth signal may not be strong enough to establish a connection.
If the turntable still won’t pair with your device, try resetting the Bluetooth processing in the turntable. To do this, power off your Bluetooth audio device and turn off any other devices that have previously been paired to the turntable. Place the turntable and your Bluetooth device within 3 feet of each other. Without the turntable being in pairing mode, press and hold down the Bluetooth button on the turntable for about 2 to 3 seconds. You will see the light begin to flash red and blue rapidly back and forth as it does when it goes into the pairing mode. After about 1 to 2 seconds of seeing this, briefly release the button (for about 1 second) then press and hold the button down until you see the light blink just RED slowly – twice. Then the indicator light will turn OFF. Press and hold the Bluetooth button for 2 to 3 seconds to put the turntable in pairing mode (RED and BLUE repeating). Power on your Bluetooth device and attempt to pair the turntable to it again.
If you’re still having trouble pairing your devices, there may be another device (such as a smartphone, tablet, other speakers, or even a wifi router) causing wireless interference within your environment. Try moving your devices to a different location or turning off any nearby devices that could be causing interference.
It’s also worth noting that some older Bluetooth devices may not be compatible with newer technology. Check that both devices are compatible with each other before attempting to pair them.
By following these troubleshooting steps, you should be able to successfully pair your Audio Technica turntable with another Bluetooth device for wireless listening enjoyment.
