TIPS FOR BETTER TURNTABLE PERFORMANCE
- When opening or closing the turntable cover, handle it gently, gripping it either at the center or at each side.
- Do not touch the needle tip with your fingers; avoid bumping the needle against the turntable platter or record edge.
- Frequently clean the needle tip-use a soft brush in a “back-to-front” motion only.
- If you must use a needle cleaning fluid, use very sparingly.
- Gently wipe the dust cover and turntable housing with a soft cloth. Use only a small amount of mild detergent to clean the turntable and dust cover.
