Overview

The Crosley CR7019A Aria Shelf System is a versatile audio device designed for playing vinyl records, listening to FM radio, and streaming music via Bluetooth or auxiliary input. This system combines classic turntable functionality with modern connectivity, making it suitable for various audio playback needs.

Function Description

The core function of the CR7019A is to play vinyl records at multiple speeds, offering a nostalgic audio experience. It features a belt-driven turntable mechanism that supports 33 1/3, 45, and 78 RPM records. For 45 RPM records, a dedicated adapter is included. The turntable is equipped with a tonearm, a tonearm lever for gentle placement and lifting, and an auto-stop switch that can automatically stop the platter when a record finishes playing.

Beyond vinyl playback, the system includes an integrated FM radio tuner. Users can automatically search for and preset radio stations, navigating through them using skip buttons.

Bluetooth connectivity is a key modern feature, allowing users to wirelessly stream audio from compatible devices such as smartphones or tablets. The system is easily discoverable as "CROSLEY CR7019A" and provides a confirmation sound upon successful pairing. The Bluetooth version is 5.0, ensuring stable and efficient wireless connection.

For wired audio input, the CR7019A provides an Aux In jack. This enables connection to external audio devices using a 3.5mm auxiliary cable, allowing their audio to be played through the system's speakers.

The system comes with two external speakers, which connect to the main unit via dedicated speaker jacks (Red for the Right channel, White for the Left channel). This stereo setup enhances the audio experience.

User interaction is facilitated through a display screen that shows the current mode (e.g., "PHON" for phono, "bt" for Bluetooth, radio station frequency for FM). Control buttons include Power, Mode, Backward Skip, Forward Skip, and Play/Pause, along with a Volume Knob for audio adjustment.

Important Technical Specifications

  • Power: AC power adaptor, DC output 15V 3A.
  • Power Consumption: 45 W.
  • Speaker Configuration: 1" 6Ω 5W x 2 (tweeters) + 4" 6Ω 20W x 2 (woofers). This indicates a two-way speaker design for each channel, providing a fuller sound spectrum.
  • Turntable Speeds: 33 1/3, 45, 78 RPM.
  • Replacement Needle: Crosley NP16. This is an important detail for maintenance and ensuring continued optimal playback quality.
  • Bluetooth Version: 5.0.
  • ERP Energy Saving Standard Compliance: Some models may comply with ERP energy-saving standards. This means the unit will automatically cut off power if there is no audio input for 20 minutes. To resume playing, the unit needs to be turned off and then turned on again.

Usage Features

  • Easy Setup: The initial setup involves placing the unit on a stable, level surface, removing the tonearm tie-wrap, and connecting the AC adapter. It's crucial to ensure all connections are correct before powering on.
  • Mode Selection: A dedicated Mode Button allows users to switch between different functions like Phono, FM Radio, Bluetooth, and Aux In, with the current mode displayed on the screen.
  • Turntable Operation:
    • Speed Switch: Allows selection of the appropriate playback speed for different records.
    • 45 RPM Adapter: Included for playing records with larger center holes.
    • Tonearm Lever: Provides a controlled and gentle way to lift and lower the tonearm, protecting both the stylus and records.
    • Auto Stop Switch: Can be toggled ON/OFF. When ON, the platter stops spinning automatically at the end of a record. If the turntable stops prematurely, setting it to OFF can resolve the issue.
    • Tonearm Clip: Secures the tonearm when the turntable is not in use, preventing accidental movement and damage.
  • FM Radio: Features an automatic station search function that presets available stations, making it easy to tune in. Users can then skip through these preset stations.
  • Bluetooth Pairing: Simple pairing process by searching for "CROSLEY CR7019A" on a Bluetooth-enabled device. A confirmation sound indicates successful connection.
  • Auxiliary Input: Provides a straightforward way to connect non-Bluetooth audio sources.
  • Volume Control: A dedicated Volume Knob allows for easy adjustment of the audio output level.

Maintenance Features

  • Stylus Care:
    • Avoid touching the stylus tip with fingers.
    • Clean the stylus frequently with a soft brush, moving from back to front.
    • Always ensure the stylus protector is in place when moving or cleaning the turntable to prevent damage.
  • Record Care: Clean records with a record cleaning brush and solution to remove dust and grease, which helps maintain sound quality and prolong record life.
  • Unit Cleaning: The turntable lid and cabinet can be cleaned with a slightly damp microfiber cloth. It is important to avoid cleansers containing alcohol, benzene, or other harsh chemicals, as these can damage the paint and finish.
  • Needle Replacement: The manual provides clear, step-by-step instructions for both removing and installing the needle (Crosley NP16), ensuring users can easily maintain playback quality. This process involves gently pulling down and forward to remove, and aligning and snapping a new needle into place.
  • Troubleshooting Guide: The manual includes basic troubleshooting for common issues such as no power (checking power adaptor and outlet) and no sound/low sound from the turntable (checking stylus protector and tonearm lever).
  • Customer Support: Crosley offers a customer service hotline (1-888-CROSLEY) and website (www.crosleyradio.com) for questions, problems, missing parts, and information on cleaning accessories. This provides valuable support for users.
