Bluetooth®
You can listen to tracks from a media device if connected
to the unit via Bluetooth®wireless technology.
• When the turntable is switched on and the tonearm is
placed on the arm rest, Bluetooth®mode is automatically
activated.
• The first time you use your Bluetooth®device with the
turntable, you will need to pair them with one another.
• Activate Bluetooth®on your compatible device, and set it
to search for compatible devices.
• Select the speaker name: 'PL3266TB' from the list of
found devices.
• If your device asks for a passkey (depending on the
device manufacturers, model, and software version),

Pairing Bluetooth®Devices
The operational range between this turntable and
a Bluetooth®device is approximately 10 metres
(without any object between the Bluetooth®enabled
device and the unit). Any obstacle between the
devices can reduce the operational range.
Before you connect a Bluetooth®enabled device to
this unit, ensure you know the device’s capabilities.
Compatibility with all Bluetooth®devices is not
guaranteed.
If the signal strength is weak, your Bluetooth®
receiver may disconnect, but it will re-enter pairing
mode automatically.
If a mobile phone on which you are playing music
receives a call, the music will be interrupted. The
phone call audio however is not played via the
speakers. Once you end the call, the devices are
connected to each other again and playback resumes.
Your device will also be disconnected when your
device is moved beyond the operational range. If you
want to reconnect your device, place it within the
operational range.
If the connection is lost, follow the instructions (left) to
pair your device to the player again.
