Victrola Automatic Turntable at Vinyl Sound Buffalo, NY USA The Victrola Automatic (VPT-800) is a fully automatic belt-driven turntable from Victrola (Denver, Colorado, USA), available at Vinyl Sound in Buffalo, New York. Victrola's first fully automatic design, the Automatic features one-touch playback with automatic tonearm return, an Audio-Technica AT-3600LA moving magnet cartridge, and VINYLSTREAM Bluetooth 5.1 output for wireless streaming. Available in matte black, matte blue, matte green, and matte white, it combines a clean modern aesthetic with a switchable built-in phono preamp and a first-of-its-kind continuous Repeat function that keeps a record side playing on loop without any manual intervention. Fully Automatic Operation: Effortless Vinyl From Start to Finish The Victrola Automatic is Victrola's first turntable to offer fully automatic playback. Press the play button and the tonearm lifts, swings into position, lowers onto the record, and begins playing on its own. At the end of the record side, the tonearm automatically lifts, returns to its rest position, and the motor shuts off. This eliminates the risk of the stylus riding in the run-out groove, which reduces unnecessary wear on both the stylus and the record. Setup is equally simple, with no counterweight adjustment required and no manual cueing needed. The belt-driven mechanism supports 33-1/3 and 45 RPM speeds, selectable via a front-panel toggle. The Repeat Function: A Vinyl First One of the Automatic's most distinctive features is its Repeat function, a capability not found on most turntables at any price point. When engaged, the turntable replays the same side of a record continuously without any user input. This makes the Automatic particularly well-suited for background listening, entertaining, or simply enjoying an album side on loop without returning to the turntable. The Repeat function works on both 33-1/3 and 45 RPM records and activates with a dedicated button on the control panel. Key Features Fully Automatic Playback: The tonearm automatically cues, plays, and returns at the end of the record side, with the motor shutting off automatically, protecting your stylus and records from unattended run-out wear. Continuous Repeat Function: A first-of-its-kind feature that replays the current side of a record indefinitely at the press of a button, ideal for background music and extended listening sessions. Audio-Technica AT-3600LA Cartridge: A trusted moving magnet cartridge from Audio-Technica (Tokyo, Japan), pre-mounted at the factory for accurate alignment and reliable audio performance out of the box. VINYLSTREAM Bluetooth 5.1: Bluetooth 5.1 output enables wireless streaming to Bluetooth speakers and headphones using Victrola's VINYLSTREAM technology for a clean wireless signal. Switchable Phono Preamp: The built-in phono preamp can be switched on or off, allowing the Automatic to connect directly to powered speakers or receivers with their own phono stage. RCA Output with Included Cable: A standard RCA cable is included for wired connection to amplifiers, stereo receivers, or powered bookshelf speakers. Victrola Tempo Speaker Compatibility: Pairs by design with the Victrola Tempo Bluetooth Bookshelf Speakers (sold separately), which feature Auracast multi-speaker connectivity for expanded wireless audio coverage. Four Color Options: Available in matte black, matte blue, matte green, and matte white for coordination with a wide range of interiors and listening spaces. Custom Slipmat Compatibility: Compatible with Victrola's 12-inch silicone slipmats (sold separately), available in coordinating colors for a monochromatic look that enhances transparent and colored vinyl. Removable Dust Cover: A removable dust cover protects the platter, tonearm, and cartridge during storage and between listening sessions. Compact Footprint: At 14.8 x 13.4 x 3.86 inches and 7.94 lbs, the Automatic fits comfortably on shelves, desks, and media consoles without dominating the space.

The Victrola Automatic (VPT-800) is a fully automatic belt-driven turntable from Victrola, designed to make vinyl listening as simple as pressing a button. It features an Audio-Technica AT-3600LA moving magnet cartridge, VINYLSTREAM Bluetooth 5.1 output, a switchable built-in phono preamp, and a first-of-its-kind Repeat function that continuously replays a record side without any manual input. It is available in four finishes: matte black, matte blue, matte green, and matte white. How does the Victrola Automatic compare to the Audio-Technica AT-LP120XUSB? The Victrola Automatic and the Audio-Technica AT-LP120XUSB are aimed at different types of listeners. The AT-LP120XUSB is a manual direct-drive turntable with a USB output for digitizing records and a more adjustable tonearm, making it better suited for those who want hands-on control and archiving capability. The Victrola Automatic is a belt-driven fully automatic turntable with Bluetooth output and a Repeat function, making it better suited for casual everyday listening where simplicity and wireless convenience matter more than manual control. The Victrola also offers a choice of four color options, giving it an edge for design-conscious setups. Can the Victrola Automatic connect to a receiver or amplifier without a phono input? Yes, the Victrola Automatic can connect to any amplifier or receiver that has a standard line-level or aux input. The built-in phono preamp is switchable: when switched on, the turntable outputs line-level audio that connects to any aux, CD, or tape input on a receiver. When switched off, it outputs a phono-level signal for receivers and amplifiers that have their own phono stage. An RCA cable is included in the box. What is the Repeat function on the Victrola Automatic? The Repeat function is a feature exclusive to the Victrola Automatic that allows the turntable to replay the same side of a record continuously without any manual intervention. When the tonearm reaches the end of the record, the turntable automatically lifts it, returns it to the start position, and begins playing again from the beginning of that side. This cycle continues until the user stops playback, making it ideal for background music, parties, and extended sessions where constant attention to the turntable is not practical. What is VINYLSTREAM Bluetooth on the Victrola Automatic? VINYLSTREAM is Victrola's proprietary Bluetooth streaming technology that transmits the turntable's audio output wirelessly to Bluetooth speakers or headphones. On the Victrola Automatic, VINYLSTREAM uses Bluetooth 5.1, which provides a more stable wireless connection and better range compared to older Bluetooth versions. It allows listeners to enjoy vinyl playback without any cables between the turntable and their speakers, and pairs with the Victrola Tempo Bluetooth Bookshelf Speakers for a coordinated wireless setup. Is the Victrola Automatic good for beginners? The Victrola Automatic is one of the most beginner-friendly turntables available. Full automation means there is no need to manually cue the tonearm, and the factory-mounted Audio-Technica AT-3600LA cartridge requires no alignment or tracking force adjustment before first use. The switchable phono preamp removes the need to understand whether a connected speaker or receiver has its own phono stage. Bluetooth output adds wireless flexibility, and setup involves placing the platter, connecting power, and pressing play. Where can I buy the Victrola Automatic in Buffalo, NY or the USA?
