How To Reset Crosley Record Player? (Quick Reset Guide)

If you’re wondering how to reset Crosley record player, this guide will walk you through it!

The Crosley record player is not a digital device, meaning a factory reset is not possible. So, the only way to reset the record player is via unplugging.

However, if you are looking to reset your Crosley record player because of a Bluetooth-related issue, there are many working methods.

Let’s get started with the essentials!

How to Reset Crosley Record Player?

The Crosley record player is a turntable, which is more of a mechanical device, rather than a digital player, which can’t be factory reset.

In short, you can’t reset the Crosley record player to factory settings, but you can perform the so-called “power cycle”, which resets your machine.

How to Restart Crosley Turntable?

The Crosley record player doesn’t have a dedicated power button, which you can press and turn off the turntable.

Instead, you can use the Volume knob, which when rotated all the way to the left, powers off the unit.

You’ll hear a *click*, indicating that the unit has been powered off and is no longer working.

To power back on the Crosley record player, rotate the Volume knob to the right until you hear the *click* which means that the device is working.

Note: You can check the light above the Pitch Control switch, to see whether the turntable is on!

How to Power Cycle Crosley Player?

The best way to reset a Crosley record player is to perform a power cycle, which will discharge the turntable and reset the entire operation.

So, simply unplug the Crosley record player from the power outlet for 60 seconds until all the residual voltage is discharged, and then reconnect.

That’s it. The process is simpler than you would’ve expected!

How to Reset Crosley Record Player Bluetooth?

If you’re attempting to connect a Bluetooth device to your Crosley record player but something’s not quite working, there are a few ways to reset it.

We’ll teach you how to activate/deactivate the Bluetooth, (which is a restart), how to pair with the Bluetooth, and how to permanently forget it.

Let’s begin with the most essential steps first!

How to Activate/Deactivate Bluetooth?

On the right side of your Crosley turntable, you should be able to locate the Bluetooth/PHONO switch, designed to switch between the turntable modes.

Here is a quick and brief explanation:

• Bluetooth – When you push the switch towards the left (Bluetooth), this enables the Crosley wireless receiver, making the device discoverable.

• PHONO – When you push the switch towards the right (PHONO), this engages the Crosley record player’s mechanism for listening to vinyl records.

To enable or deactivate the Bluetooth, you need to push the switch either towards the Bluetooth label or towards the PHONO label.

This will restart the Bluetooth feature, resetting all services.

How to Connect to Crosley Bluetooth?

When you push the Bluetooth/PHONO switch to the left (Bluetooth), the wireless receiver of the turntable will make the device discoverable.

This means that when you go to the Bluetooth tab of your wireless device, you should be able to discover the “Crosley XXX” Bluetooth connection.

To connect to the Crosley record player’s Bluetooth, tap on the Bluetooth profile and wait for a few seconds until you see “Connected.”

Now you can play music from the built-in speakers.

Quick Tip: If something is not working, reset the Crosley Bluetooth by switching to “PHONO” mode for a few seconds and then back to “Bluetooth”.

How to Forget Your Crosley Bluetooth?

If you want to permanently disconnect (until reconnected) any device from the Crosley player’s Bluetooth, you must forget the profile.

This will prevent this device from automatically pairing to the Crosley record player, and you will either be able to pair a new device or not use Bluetooth.

Here’s how to forget the Crosley record player Bluetooth profile on Android/iOS:

• Android: Go to Settings → Connected devices → Connection preferences → Bluetooth → Crosley → Gear icon → Forget/Unpair.

• iOS: From the main screen, go to the Settings → Bluetooth → Crosley → Info (i) icon → Forget This Device.

This will unpair your wireless Bluetooth device from the Crosley record player, preventing the automatic connection.

Now, you can either pair a new device or switch to “PHONO” mode.

This is how to reset Crosley record player Bluetooth, but there is one important to know! 

Important Note: Unplug ALL Jacks!

It’s important to note that when there is a device connected to the 3.5 mm AUX Jack on your Crosley record player, it automatically disables the Bluetooth feature.

Even if the Bluetooth/PHONO switch is set to Bluetooth, connecting headphones for example will instantly prevent the Bluetooth connection playout.

Note: If your Crosley record player Bluetooth is not working, return the device and everything that came with it to the seller or try to claim your warranty.
