Pairing balenaSound to Victrola Journey+ Record Player

Hi all - new user here. Loving all the features of balenaSound so far!

I want to create a whole-home broadcast for my record player, but I’m running into some connection issues.

I’m trying to connect my record player to my RPi3 running balenaSound. The record player has a bluetooth OUT connection (instructions attached). I followed the instructions, but my RPi is not recognizing the record player.

Some additional info:
-From the balena dashboard, the log doesn’t show evidence of any communication between the two devices
-I can successfully connect my record player to a Google Home speaker and play audio
-I can successfully connect my Android phone to the RPi w/ balenaSound and play audio.

I realize the limitation may be on the record player end, but I’m looking for any advice to help this work.

Hi

Have you checked your record player with any other speaker? Does that work without hiccups?
