How To Set Up Heyday Turntable
Step 1: Power on your Bluetooth speaker and put it in pairing mode by pressing and holding the power button for a few seconds.
Step 2: Turn on your Heyday turntable and press the Bluetooth button once. Then, press it again and hold for 5 seconds until the indicator light starts flashing red and white.
Step 3: Wait for the three rapid tones in your headphones to confirm that your device has been paired.
Step 4: If you’re having trouble connecting your Heyday turntable to your Bluetooth speaker, try pairing them out of range from all other Bluetooth devices. Disconnect all other devices and turn off all Bluetooth connections before attempting to pair.
Step 5: If you’re still having trouble, try connecting the turntable to a different speaker or switch the output mode from wired to Bluetooth or vice versa.
Connecting The Heyday Turntable To A Bluetooth Speaker
Connecting your Heyday turntable to a Bluetooth speaker can be a bit tricky, but with the right cables and some patience, it can be done easily. Here’s how to do it:
Step 1: Ensure that your Bluetooth speaker is powered on and in pairing mode. To do this, press and hold the power button of the headphone for a few seconds. This will put the headphone in pairing mode.
Step 2: Turn on your Heyday turntable and press the Bluetooth button once. Then, press it again and hold for 5 seconds until the indicator light starts flashing red and white.
Step 3: Wait for the three rapid tones in your headphones to confirm that your device has been paired.
Step 4: If you’re having trouble connecting your Heyday turntable to your Bluetooth speaker, try pairing them out of range from all other Bluetooth devices. Disconnect all other devices and turn off all Bluetooth connections before attempting to pair.
Step 5: Use the right cables to connect your turntable to your Bluetooth speaker. Most Bluetooth speakers have a single 3.5mm AUX input, so you’ll likely need to invest in an inexpensive RCA to 3.5mm cable. It basically has the two large red and white RCA connectors on the end that connects to the turntable (or pre-amp) and a single 3.5mm connector (that looks like the one on your headphones) on the other.
By following these steps, you should be able to easily connect your Heyday turntable to a Bluetooth speaker and enjoy high-quality sound from your vinyl records.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
While setting up your Heyday turntable, you may encounter some common issues that can be easily resolved with a few troubleshooting steps. Here are some of the most common problems and their solutions:
1. No sound coming from the speaker: If you’ve successfully paired your Heyday turntable with your Bluetooth speaker but are not getting any sound, it’s possible that the volume on your turntable is turned down or muted. Check the volume settings on both your turntable and speaker to ensure that they are turned up.
2. Faint sound coming from the turntable: If you can hear a very faint sound coming from the turntable itself but not from the speaker, it’s possible that the Bluetooth connection is weak or that there is interference from other Bluetooth devices. Try moving your turntable and speaker closer together or disconnecting other Bluetooth devices in the area.
3. Platter not spinning: If the platter on your Heyday turntable is not spinning, it could be due to a problem with the direct drive motor or debris and dirt stuck in the motor components and shaft. Clean the motor components and shaft and check for any visible damage. If necessary, replace the motor or seek professional repair.
4. Bluetooth connection issues: If you’re having trouble connecting your Heyday turntable to your Bluetooth speaker, make sure that both devices are in pairing mode and that they are within range of each other. Try resetting both devices and pairing them again. If you’re still having trouble, try pairing them out of range from all other Bluetooth devices or switch to a wired connection.
By following these troubleshooting steps, you should be able to resolve most common issues with your Heyday turntable and enjoy high-quality sound from your vinyl records.
Changing The Device Name For Easier Connectivity
By default, your Heyday turntable will have a generic name when you attempt to pair it with your Bluetooth speaker. This can make it difficult to identify the correct device if you have multiple Bluetooth devices in your home. Luckily, changing the device name is a quick and easy process.
Step 1: Turn on your Heyday turntable and put it in pairing mode by pressing the Bluetooth button once. Then, press it again and hold for 5 seconds until the indicator light starts flashing red and white.
Step 2: Use your smartphone or computer to search for available Bluetooth devices. Your Heyday turntable should appear in the list of available devices.
Step 3: Click on the Heyday turntable to connect to it. If prompted, enter the default PIN code (usually 0000 or 1234).
Step 4: Once connected, open the Bluetooth settings on your smartphone or computer and locate the Heyday turntable in the list of paired devices.
Step 5: Click on the gear icon or settings button next to the Heyday turntable to access its settings.
Step 6: Look for an option to change the device name. This may be labeled as “Rename” or “Device Name”.
Step 7: Enter a new name for your Heyday turntable and save the changes.
Now, whenever you go to pair your Heyday turntable with your Bluetooth speaker, you will be able to easily identify it by its new name. This can save you time and frustration when connecting multiple Bluetooth devices in your home.
