Can’t connect Wiim Amp Pro over BT to turntable Audio-Technica AT-LP70XBT

[cordi]

Hello!
Can’t connect Wiim Amp Pro over BT to turntable Audio-Technica AT-LP70XBT.
I just can’t do it. Nothing works. Wasted so many hours and still nothing.
Has anyone tried it with this or any other BT turntable?

I put the turntable into pairing mode by pressing button for 2 sec….. and then what?
How to enable BT pairing mode on Wiim Amp Pro? Holding play for 3 sec doesn’t do anything. Holding it for longer resets to factory defaults. I set INPUT in Wiim app on phone to Bluetooth but nothing happens. The distance is 3 meters. I don’t want cables.
The manual below doesn’t even mention a turntable as a streaming device. Perhaps it doesn’t support it at all…
Please help before I go mad. Thanks

From the WiiM manual:
Audio Input via Bluetooth
With Bluetooth, you can stream tunes from various devices like smartphones, tablets, TVs, and laptops. To start streaming, first pair your device with the WiiM Amp Pro.
Press and hold the Play button on the WiiM Voice Remote for 3 seconds or more to initiate pairing mode.
you can initiate Bluetooth pairing mode in the WiiM Home app by selecting Bluetooth as source input in the Browse tab.

Hi,

I have never used the AT-LP70XBT, but did you set the Phono/Line switch on the back to Line?

1) Switch the AT-LP70XBT to Line output.
2) Set the device's input to Bluetooth in the WiiM home app.
3) Press and hold the Bluetooth button on the AT-LP70XBT for 2 seconds.

Please check if pairing is completed by following this procedure.

If you already have a device (such as a smartphone) paired with the WiiM device, please unpair it in advance.

You are a GENIUS AND A SCHOLAR!
It works!
But I still don't know why..
1) AT was set to Line
2) Wiim input was set to BT
3) AT was always blinking so in pairing mode
Perhaps it was the order in which I did the steps.
My smartfone was never connected to Wiim thru BT because I'm using wi-fi instead. BUT I switched of BT on phone completely. Maybe that helped...
Anyway, it doesn't matter now. Now it auto connects after switching input to BT.
Many thanks!

Brain capacity needed for more important WiiMs ... errr ... things.
