Connecting Bluetooth speakers and headphones

The PLATINUM Automatic EAS can play records through Bluetooth speakers or Bluetooth headphones. Set PRE AMP to ON; see Audio system and preamplifier.

Note

Do not use Bluetooth speakers or headphones that do not allow you to adjust the volume. Individual tracks could be played at a very high volume.

The turntable cannot be paired with smartphones, televisions or computers.

  • The range is approximately 10 m.
  • Follow the instructions for your Bluetooth device. Pairing may take some time, depending on the device.
  • If the turntable connects to an unwanted device, switch off other nearby Bluetooth playback devices or disable their Bluetooth function as necessary.
  • Disconnect the current Bluetooth connection before establishing another one.

Pairing for the first time

  1. Press the BT button briefly to start Bluetooth connection mode. The blue indicator flashes slowly.
  2. Press the BT button again for at least 2 seconds to start pairing mode. The blue indicator flashes rapidly.
  3. Also put the Bluetooth speaker or headphones into pairing mode.
Press the BT button on the turntable

Pairing takes place automatically. Once connected, the blue indicator remains lit.

Connecting a previously paired device

The turntable stores information for up to 8 paired devices. These do not need to be paired again when reconnecting later.

  1. Press the BT button briefly to start connection mode. The blue indicator flashes slowly.
  2. Prepare the previously paired Bluetooth device for connection.

The connection is established automatically. The indicator then remains lit.

Disconnecting and switching off Bluetooth

  • Press the BT button for at least 2 seconds to disconnect the connected device. The indicator flashes blue rapidly.
