Unboxing and Testing a 6-in-1 Nostalgic Entertainment Center

[@MinnyAU]

I still find it so bizzare that people throw away vinyls. Glad they have found another home with you.

[@vwestlife]

FYI, you forgot to screw in the transport screw on the turntable mechanism. (It is mentioned in the instructions.) Doing so allows the turntable to rest on springs which help absorb vibrations and reduce the chance of the record skipping.

[@ryancurtis1996]

VWestlife is the turntable loose so to speak ? Like it goes up and down? I thought mine was broken when I received it today

[@vwestlife]

Once you screw in the transport screw, the turntable mechanism rests on springs to absorb vibration, so it will have some bounce to it.

[@RockinJohnnyaitken]

HE forgot to change the needle/stylus for the 78rpm too, that's going to wear both the record and needle out pretty quickly

[@ellegroover]

He also didn’t test Bluetooth….I was also looking for him adding speakers, wanted to see which ones he chose. Oh well.

[@Onehappyworlds]

Still have mine. Got it 2 years ago. Works great. Don't like to read negative comments about the Victrola. Geez people should research on google first before purchasing a turntable. Instead they buy a victrola record player & end up bitching & complaining about it. I bought it because I'm on a budget. I can ALWAYS save & upgrade to a different record player later. But for now the victrola will be fine for me.

[@ate-bitdave3015]

Still use mine every week. No problems, actually the bluetooth gets used a lot by the GF.

[@LuvMaBabe17]

Can't seem to get my turn table to spin, just bought it. Any advice?

[@abdelkaderelbachir9523]

Smart move this player is very reliable 😌

[@doloresgonzalez7305]

Thanks for your video !

[@SunlessComa4614]

My parents got me this for Christmas the same year I'd bought a Crosley one like this for myself. I made the unfortunate choice to return mine and keep the one they got me. The cd tray has never opened, but the little cover opened enough for me to put a cd in. It continuously loops as though it's opening/closing, and I miss that cd ☹️. The screw for the CD player stays loose and everything I play is very wobbly, but thanks to the magic of gorilla tape, I've been able to at least correct the sound. Thankfully I'd bought the little Crosley cruiser several months prior, so I'm able to properly listen to records. The website for innovative technology products hasn't existed for a long time, which I understand - if I'd crafted an incredibly low value, shoddy, inferior product that didn't perform the basic functions as it's designed, I would be embarrassed also, although I wouldn't tuck tail and run. I'm sorry for anyone else who was duped into thinking this would be anything other than utterly useless, and I hope you're using Crosley or some other reputable brand that manufactures quality products!

[@ambrusvargaeliza]

Hi, is it possible to connect it with a pair of speakers to have better/louder sound?

[@raynamerrill8763]

not sure if you’ll even see this…but does it still work? i’ve had it for at least 5-6 years now and it’s skipping all of my new vinyls and the turntable seem to be out of place which is causing my vinyls to wobble significantly (which is prob what’s causing the skipping)… the slot where the tone arm should be or whatever is like lifted and basically out of place

[@jeremiahsalyer7784]

He didn't screw in the screw like it says to in the instruction manual. Mine seems to be skipping a bit unless it's the two vinyls I tried.

[@josefalhanga]

Hi. 45 Vinyl records stop before the song ends. Is there a way to fix that?? Thank you very much.

[@kathrynkenyon785]

Hi, could you please show me how to PROGRAM the CD portion of this machine? I lost my owner's manual and can't figure it out.

[@dylanhammersproductions7081]

Anyone have any tips on how to possibly improve the FM reception of the wooden music center, I have trouble getting stations that are more than like 40 miles away.

[@vwestlife]

You can strip off the end of the attached wire antenna and connect a longer piece of wire to it.

[@goldengod87]

Will tools new special edition album hook up to this record player?

[@ALISTGAMERS1]

Has it been showing any signs of vinyl record damaging? I'm afraid about that

[@ate-bitdave3015]

No it hasn't the needle seems to be high quality. I've been using it the last week without any issue. Thanks for asking :-)

[@ALISTGAMERS1]

Ate-Bit Dave alright thanks I'll pick mine up tomorrow then!

[@georgekolbaia4246]

Ate-Bit Dave You are wrong man! it has a cheep 1$ plastic cartridge of piezoelectric type, model Chuo Densi made in china! needle is crap, work normaly for about 100 hour, not more! It track grooves for 5-6 grams and act like grinder for LP.... total sign is crap! it seems you have not enough information about quality made turntables, otherwise you would not make this video add for crappy builded machines...

[@vwestlife]

Vinyl records were originally designed for a tracking force of 6 grams, so these players are fine. The sapphire stylus (needle) they come with does wear out faster than a diamond stylus, but as long as you replace the stylus before it gets worn out, and also keep it clean, your records will be fine.

[@bailey9521]

george kolbaia LPs were designed to be played between 5-9g most of the needles that come on these players are diamond. It won’t mess up any records, there’s a video of a man running a record 40 times ranging from 5-20g and the record still play fine.

[@fergusof]

I don't think it will play MP3 CDs! Made a few and just get "ER." 😞

[@jkssr1885]

Is there a light for the tuning dial? I dont have one on mine.

[@goldengod87]

Also if i purchase will it come assembled completely or will i have to buy extra tools?

[@ate-bitdave3015]

No tools needed.

[@dJ.kNiGhT23]

The one I bought it didn't worked with the tape and cd when putting a cd each song skips 1 or 2 seconds is annoying the tape same thing to me that's not normal.

[@nicoderbin5418]

Is it still working some people said that it stops working cuz of the Bluetooth function

[@ate-bitdave3015]

It still works, and the wife uses the blue tooth to play music for our daughter regularly.

[@cherylstringer3209]

How do I get my cd player to play. It goes in and cd shows in the window but won't play

[@cindybrunken4005]

My CD player works great. The radio doesn’t get reception out of town.

[@penelopefreeman5898]

I need to know how to make the sound work?

[@misteroughtright5557]

Is there any way I can rewind my tape? It does not have a rewind setting.

[@ate-bitdave3015]

Well there is, Unfortunately you have to flip the tape hold the "eject" button half way down and then it will "Fast Forward", then flip the tape over again. Which does kinda suck but it works.

[@moonflower4444]

I just rewind mine on my old radio

[@alexyuzwa]

What’s the tree beside your couch?

[@ate-bitdave3015]

Rose bush, but it's suffering cause of lack of light :-) So I creeped on your youtube when are you gonna continue posting?

[@zepedy_zigs8561]

Mine stopped working...

[@sandypiesch3894]

Buttons won't push in stuck. Nothing works.

[@rolanddoucet458]

Way too much blah blah, and seriously not enough preparation. A solid vid shouldn't take more than 3 to 5 minutes.

[@candygirl826]

the needle isn’t working

[@lonewolftech]

😂 tf it isn’t.

[@SuperNick090]

Problem waiting to happen...its junk.

[@SuperNick090]

@Jon Dowe FYI I do own this and I wish I good things to say about it because I really like the design but I've had to return this stereo 3 times. And as for being a snob and stuck up that has nothing to do with my comment lol...God bless

[@grow1820]

had it for few years, absolutely no problem, you must had bad unit. I love mine. I use it more than audio technica in my living room.

[@barrymccockiner1153]

Any turntable with a injection molded plastic arm is junk. These are great for a nostalgic look, but very bad for any of your vinyl.

[@70applejack]

@@barrymccockiner1153 you people are so uneducated it’s utterly pathetic. They’ve always been injection molded plastic arms 😂 tf you think plastic parts are made? This is a fine unit accept for you retards who seem to wanna cry about it being made in china…

[@tough213]

oh boy here we go again another all in one nightmare cheap and not high quality do not play any records that you care about the needles are crap and the all plastic changer is garbage this is a really useless and poor excuse for electronics . the manufactures that are in business that make these junk units should be put out of business and burned down there is a lot of wow and flutter in the cheap turntable and . good luck with this thing if you get a year or two out of it you will be lucky good luck with it

[@bailey9521]

tough213 wheres your evidence that they ruin your LPs these units come with either a sapphire stylus or a diamond stylus. They won’t ruin your records you are the type to hop on a bandwagon and not actually do your research on it.

[@josiahgunter6085]

they stole this design from victrola

[@That-Swiftie]

Innovative Technology is the parent company of Victrola.

[@georgekolbaia4246]

You did a bg mistake by buying this crap machine. it can not give you at list a minimal. entry level sound quality for LPs, so you can not imagine, how should a LPs must sounds. This is grinder for LPs. Tt use very cheeply builded table made from plastic, having a no counter weight, anti-scate, strob light, speed control, and crappy needle cartridge tracking on grooves at 5-6 grams will destroy your LPs much faster! For cassette section - it will be better, not to write anything about it - CRAP! CD - is OK, but speaker quality just sucks! Overall - Entire Crap Machine Sucks!

[@lugardboy]

What's the better vinyl player one can buy I want to buy one but confused

[@georgekolbaia4246]

@@lugardboy Audio technika LP 60 is a best choice for entry level. It is a perfect machine for price. It cost around 130 USD and will not destroy your records. Plus it sound very decent if coupled with decent amp+speakers. AT LP 60 has a built in preamp, sow you can connect it with active speakers directly. I will not recommend this "all in one" crappy machines, reason I mentioned above in my comment!

[@vwestlife]

For a beginner an all-in-one system like this is OK. It won't sound that great, but the rumors of them destroying records is just an exaggerated myth. With proper care, they are fine to use.
