Overview

The JENSEN JTA-315 is a stereo Bluetooth 3-speed turntable system with external speakers, designed for playing vinyl records and streaming audio.

Functions

The primary function of the JTA-315 is to play vinyl records at three different speeds: 33, 45, and 78 RPM. It features a turntable platter, a turntable shaft, and a 45 RPM adaptor for different record types. The tone arm includes a lift lever, a latch, and a stylus cartridge for precise record playback. An AUTO STOP ON/OFF SELECTOR allows users to choose whether the platter automatically stops spinning at the end of a record. The PITCH CONTROL enables fine-tuning of the playing speed.

Beyond record playback, the JTA-315 offers Bluetooth connectivity in two ways:

  1. Bluetooth Out (BT OUT): This allows the turntable to wirelessly stream audio from playing records to external Bluetooth-compatible headphones or speakers (not included).
  2. Bluetooth In (BT IN): This enables external Bluetooth devices, such as cell phones, tablets, or computers, to wirelessly connect to the JTA-315 system and play audio through its speakers.

The system also includes an AUX IN JACK for wired connection of external audio devices like MP3 players, CD players, and smartphones (excluding iPod shuffle 3rd generation). This allows users to play audio from these devices through the JTA-315's speakers.

For private listening, the unit is equipped with a STEREO HEADPHONE JACK, which automatically disconnects the external speakers when headphones are plugged in.

Technical Specifications

  • Power Source: External AC adaptor.
    • Input: AC 100-240V ~, 50/60Hz, 0.8A

Usage Features

Power and Volume Control: The POWER/VOLUME CONTROL knob serves as both the power switch and volume adjuster. Rotating it clockwise from the OFF position turns the unit ON with a click sound, and further rotation increases the volume. The POWER/FUNCTION INDICATOR lights up to confirm the power status and selected function mode.

Function Selection: A FUNCTION SELECTOR allows users to switch between different modes: PHONO (for record playback), AUX IN (for wired external audio), Bluetooth In (BT IN), and Bluetooth Out (BT OUT).

Speaker Connection: The system comes with two external speakers that connect to the main unit via RCA type SPEAKER CONNECTORS. The right speaker connects to the red-coded output jack (R), and the left speaker connects to the white-coded output jack (L).

Record Playback:

  1. Remove the white plastic stylus guard from the cartridge.
  2. Unlock the tone arm from its rest.
  3. Place a record on the turntable platter, using the 45 RPM adaptor if needed.
  4. Set the 33/45/78 RPM SELECTOR to the correct speed.
  5. Use the TONE ARM LIFT LEVER to raise the tone arm, position it over the desired part of the record, and then lower it to begin playing.
  6. The AUTO STOP ON/OFF SELECTOR can be set to "ON" for automatic stopping at the end of a record, or "OFF" if the record stops prematurely or if continuous play is desired.
  7. The PITCH CONTROL can be used to slightly adjust the playing speed.

Bluetooth Out Operation:

  1. Select the BT OUT mode using the FUNCTION SELECTOR.
  2. Turn on the unit; the POWER/FUNCTION INDICATOR will flash blue slowly.
  3. Turn on and set the external Bluetooth receiving device (headphones/speakers) to pairing mode.
  4. Once paired, the indicator will stop flashing and remain solid blue.
  5. Play a record, and the audio will stream to the external Bluetooth device. Volume is adjusted on the external Bluetooth device. BT OUT only works in PHONO mode.

Bluetooth In Operation:

  1. Select the BT IN mode using the FUNCTION SELECTOR.
  2. Turn on the unit; the POWER/FUNCTION INDICATOR will flash blue slowly.
  3. Enable Bluetooth on your external device and search for "JTA-315."
  4. Select "JTA-315" to pair (pass code "0000" if required).
  5. Once connected, the indicator will stop flashing and remain solid blue.
  6. Adjust volume using the POWER/VOLUME CONTROL on the unit and/or the external Bluetooth device.

AUX In Operation:

  1. Connect an audio cable (3.5 mm stereo plug) from your external device's Line-out or Headphone Jack to the AUX IN JACK on the JTA-315.
  2. Turn on the external audio device.
  3. Select the AUX IN mode using the FUNCTION SELECTOR; the POWER/FUNCTION INDICATOR will light purple.
  4. Adjust volume using the POWER/VOLUME CONTROL on the unit.

Headphone Use: Plug headphones into the STEREO HEADPHONE JACK for private listening. Always lower the volume before putting on headphones to prevent hearing damage.

Maintenance Features

Record Care:

  • Keep records clean to ensure optimal sound and minimize wear.
  • Use a carbon fiber brush or velvet pad for light dust.
  • For heavier dirt, use a good quality record cleaner and brush set.
  • Mild dish soap and warm water with a microfiber cloth can be used for washing records, wiping off excess water.

Stylus Care:

  • Clean the stylus regularly with a soft brush, brushing from the base to the tip.

Furniture Protection:

  • The turntable and speaker boxes have non-skid rubber feet. To prevent marks or stains on fine wooden furniture, it is recommended to apply small self-adhesive felt pads to the bottom of these rubber feet.

General Maintenance:

  • Do not block ventilation openings.
  • Keep the unit away from heat sources.
  • Unplug the AC adaptor during lightning storms or when unused for long periods.
  • Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
  • Avoid exposing the appliance to dripping or splashing water.
  • Do not overload wall outlets; use only the specified power source.
  • Use replacement parts as specified by the manufacturer.
