The Eastwood turntable by Victrola is a 3-speed record player with Dual-Bluetooth connectivity that allows you to stream music from a smart device to its speakers, or stream records from it to any external Bluetooth speaker or headphone. The ability to stream out to Bluetooth devices is pretty significant. Most turntables in this price range have Bluetooth functionality, but rarely does that include a Bluetooth Out option. The majority of Bluetooth turntables only allow you to stream sound to the device, and since turntables in this price range rarely have quality speakers, the Eastwood being no exception, it’s kind of a pointless feature in my opinion.When I connect my phone to the turntable via Bluetooth, and I play my favorite MP3s, the audio seems to come out of the turntable speaker so much louder than it does when I play records. The Victrola The Eastwood record player is truly one of my favorite electronics at the moment. It combines old-school technology with the modern world in unique and interesting ways. I didn’t experience this personally, but I noticed that one customer complained that they had a difficult time connecting their turntable to their Bluetooth speakers. The brand has recently been revived by Innovative Technology, which has blended Victrola's classic vintage design with the best of today's audio technology. Personally, I truly admire the fact that this hybrid record player has dual Bluetooth connectivity.

The Eastwood Signature – Victrola

To play a record, set an album down carefully on the turntable and turn the unit on. Turn the BT/PHONO knob to PHONO and PH will show on the display. Press play and then gently lower the tonearm down onto the album. Adjust the volume once the album starts playing. If you plug in headphones, the internal speakers should stop playing, this didn’t always work for me though. While I admit that the audio volume for records is lower than MP3s via Bluetooth player, I also noticed an anomaly that you might be experiencing. In keeping with the overall minimalism of the Eastwood, its display screen shows few indicators, PH for Phono, BT for Bluetooth, and a little Bluetooth icon for pairing. Oh, it also displays HI for a second when you turn it on, which is cute. Keeping with the general suitability for younger music lovers, the Eastwood works independently without needing additional speakers. An external sound system would absolutely help to enhance the experience, but for those short on space, the in-built speakers are good enough. Victrola Eastwood Turntable: Set-up The renowned firm was first set up in 1906, as was the largest and most successful manufacturer of its time.When it comes to vinyl and record players, there is a lot of ingrained wisdom, opinions and advice out there. Bringing together music-loving baby boomers and the newly-converted millennial and Gen Z generations, it can be a hard world to get to grips with. Should you go for a component player or something all-in-one? Do you need external speakers? Is it worth the hassle? Once I figured out all of the Eastwood’s little setup quirks it was time to start playing records. I grabbed some of my all-time favorite albums; Matthew Sweet’s power-pop magnum opus Girlfriend, the Beastie Boys’ hip-hop masterpiece Paul’s Boutique, and Weezer’s groundbreaking debut Blue Album.

Victrola recognizes this fact and took steps to do something about it. Instead of leaving a wide-open turntable susceptible to amassing unwanted dirt and dust and grime, they added a crystal-clear yet removable dust cover to keep any and all records protected as they sit upon the turntable.
