Frequently Asked Questions - TT201BT THOMSON

How to connect the Thomson TT201BT via Bluetooth?

Turn on the turntable, activate Bluetooth mode by pressing the corresponding button (usually symbolized by a Bluetooth logo). On your smartphone or tablet, search for Bluetooth devices and select "TT201BT". Once connected, the Bluetooth indicator becomes steady.

How to change the playback speed from 33 to 45 RPM?

Use the speed selector located next to the platter. Switch it to 33 for 33 RPM records, to 45 for 45 RPM records. Make sure the record is properly centered.

How to adjust the anti-skating on the TT201BT?

Turn the anti-skating knob (usually on the right of the tonearm) to adjust the compensating force. The recommended value is generally the same as the tracking force (e.g., 3 if the tracking force is 3 g). Consult the manual for precise adjustments.

How to clean the stylus of the turntable?

Use a special anti-static stylus brush or a small soft brush. Gently brush the stylus tip from back to front. Avoid touching the tip with your fingers. For deep cleaning, a stylus cleaning fluid is recommended.

What to do if the sound is distorted or crackles?

Check that the stylus is clean. Make sure the tracking force is correctly set (usually between 2 and 4 g). Check the RCA connections and the Bluetooth cable. Try another vinyl record to rule out a damaged disc.

How to replace the drive belt?

Remove the platter by gently lifting it. Locate the old belt and remove it. Place the new belt around the motor pulley, then stretch it around the inner rim of the platter. Reinstall the platter. Consult the manual for the exact model.

Can I connect speakers directly to the turntable?

Yes, the TT201BT has a line output (Line Out) and a phono output. For active speakers, use the line output. If you are using an amplifier with a phono input, you can use the phono output. Otherwise, use the Bluetooth function to transmit sound to Bluetooth speakers.

How to adjust the tracking force of the tonearm?

Place the counterweight at the back of the tonearm and rotate it until the tonearm is balanced horizontally. Then, rotate the tracking force scale (usually) to set the desired force (e.g., 3 g). Use a stylus force gauge if possible.

The platter does not spin, what should I do?

Check that the unit is powered on and the speed selector is in a valid position. Ensure the belt is in place and not broken. If the motor does not start, the problem may be electrical: contact customer service.

How to reset the TT201BT turntable?

Turn off the turntable, unplug it from the mains for 30 seconds, then plug it back in and turn it on. If you encounter Bluetooth issues, you can also remove the device from your source's Bluetooth device list and repeat pairing.

Pausing the playback

Pushing the cueing lever (11) upwards will lift the tonearm and temporarily stop playback.

Note:

• The turntable's mechanical auto-return system may enable during transportation. Thus, the tonearm will automatically return to the rest the first time it is placed on the platter – this is not a malfunction.
• Since records vary in length, you may find the tonearm cannot automatically return to the rest once the record has finished. In this case, please adjust the tonearm's stop position as indicated below.
• Do not use a magnetic cartridge or it will no longer be possible to connect the unit via the Aux-in on an external device.

Adjusting the pitch

Use the pitch control knob (9) to adjust the turntable speed.

Tonearm stop position alignment

You can adjust when the tonearm returns to the tonearm rest once the record has finished as follows:

Before you start, please remove the rubber cover from the alignment screw (7).

a) If the tonearm returns to the rest before a record is finished: use a crosshead screwdriver to turn the alignment screw (7) clockwise; the tonearm's stop position will move inward, toward the centre of the record.
b) If the tonearm does not return to the rest when a record is finished: use a crosshead screwdriver to turn the alignment screw (7) anti-clockwise; the tonearm's stop position will move outward, away from the centre of the record.

Note:

• The ideal tonearm stop position is subjective and differs from customer to customer; please select the most suitable position for your own record collection. The factory setting uses the most common position.
• Please check the stop position adjustment from time to time to ensure that the screw is not loose.

Bluetooth transmission

This product comes with an internal Bluetooth transmitter which can connect to your Bluetooth speakers so you can enjoy music directly from vinyl:

1) Turn on your Bluetooth speakers and keep them in search mode.
2) Press the Bluetooth button (2) once; the Bluetooth LED indicator (5) will start flashing quickly. The Bluetooth transmitter will remain in search mode for around 30 seconds. If the Bluetooth transmitter cannot find any Bluetooth speaker to pair with, it will automatically switch to standby mode and the Bluetooth LED indicator (5) will flash slowly.
3) Once connected to the Bluetooth speakers, the turntable's Bluetooth LED indicator (5) will light up. Now you can play your records on the turntable and listen to the music from your Bluetooth speakers.
4) If you want to pair with a different Bluetooth device, press the Bluetooth button (2) once; the Bluetooth transmitter will go into standby mode.
5) Turn on the other Bluetooth speakers and press the Bluetooth button (2) again. The Bluetooth transmitter will enter search mode and will connect to the new Bluetooth speakers.

Remark: The max. connection distance is around 9 meters. Please place your Bluetooth speaker as close as possible to this device to avoid connection getting disturbed.

Turntable lock

A turntable lock screw (6) protects your turntable during transportation. Turn the screw clockwise to release the lock before using the unit.

Note:

When there is no sound output, the unit will automatically switch to standby mode after a while in order to save energy. It can be turned ON again by using the Power button (3).
