Sonos Move not pairing with Bluetooth turntable (Audio Technica)

The Move is directly next to the turntable, and the bluetooth indicator lights on both devices are flashing, but they are not pairing. I’ve tried numerous times with no success.

Anyone else having this issue?

    I bought the Audio Technica AT-LP120XBT-USB-BK so I could transfer all of my vinyl to my mp3 player.  I had no problem pairing it with my Klipsch Groove speaker.  I just got the Sonos Move speaker as an anniversary gift from work and it won’t pair with anything but my phone.  I have tried multiple times with my turntable and my mp3 player.  All blue lights flashing and no pairing occurs.  Very frustrating since I watched a video where someone was able to pair it to same turntable within seconds.

    Not much in the way of troubleshooting available.

    I am having the same issue.  I just picked up a Sonos Move, and I am trying to bluetooth pair it to my Victrola record player … I hold the bluetooth button down on the Sonos move (and make sure nothing else is paired with it - removed the connection to my phone, for instance) - and both items just continually flash blue, never connecting.  I am guessing it is because I can’t select “Yes” on the Sonos Move, as there is no interface to it.  I tried to use my Sonos app to connect to the Move, but you can’t connect to it when in bluetooth mode … so, then I tried to access the Move settings when connected on WiFi, but there is no bluetooth settings available to tinker with.   Very bummed, as it was the number one reason I bought the Sonos Move in the first place.   I wish Sonos would provide some way to access the Move bluetooth settings … I really don’t want to go to a hardwired setting…

    Has anybody had any luck pairing a record player to any bluetooth speaker?  I know this is a Sonos forum… I’m just bummed and I don’t see Sonos fixing this anytime soon :(

      I just got my turntable and realized my sonos beam isn’t really a Bluetooth speaker… so I’m looking into the move and found this thread. Did you get it to work? Have any suggestions? I like Sonia but don’t think buying a move and port is $$$cost effective.

      Only finding this thread after getting my Audio Technical and watching those twinkly red and blue lights and my Move’s pulsing blue let yet never get to the point where I actually hear sound (or see the devices connect). 
       

      what did other folks do? Return the record player? Spend 400 on the port? Or figure out some way to get the 2 devices to pair?

      Any results from anyone will help me at least feel better. And determine my next steps. 

      Thanks!

      Did you figure it out????

      I have the same problem pairing my Move with anything other than my phone.  No luck with my laptop or my turntable.  Help…...

      Same problem with an older Bluetooth AT player. I got it to connect once and it was a painful experience. I ended up buying a two-way bluetooth transmitter receiver from Amazon for $30. It has a screen so I can see all my BT devices in the room and lets me select which device I'm connecting my record player to. As a bonus it has volume control of its own.The brand is Toksel but I'm sure any similar product will work fine.

      Got it to work: I came across this thread while trying to connect an Audio-Technica table to Sonos Roam.  After a few tries I got it to work. I turned off phone’s Bluetooth and the previously paired speaker. I was alternating which to put into pairing mode first per snakesbee’s post and I got it with the table’s Bluetooth pairing mode on first, but nearly the same time.
