• Do not place the unit on an amplifier/receiver.
• Do not open the cabinet as this might result in damage to the circuitry or electrical shock. If a foreign object should get into the unit, contact your dealer or service company.
• When removing the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull directly on the plug, and never yank the cord.
• To keep the laser pickup clean, do not touch it, and always close the disc tray.
• Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents as this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

• Doing so may damage the disc or the unit.

WHEN MOVING THIS UNIT

When changing the unit’s location or packing the unit for moving, be sure to remove the record or disc. Moving this unit with the record or disc loaded may result in damage to this unit. If the unit is to be packed and moved a great distance, it is also advisable to tighten the turntable transport locking screw.

HANDLING RECORDS

• Do not touch the record’s grooves. Only handle records by the edges or the label. Make sure your hands are clean. Skin oils from even clean hands can leave a residue on the record surface that will gradually deteriorate the quality of your record.

• Should the record become dirty, gently wipe the surface in a circular motion, using a soft anti-static cloth?
• Keep your records away from dust. Keep them in a cool, dry place.
• To avoid dust and scratches, keep records in their sleeves and jackets when not in use.
• Store records upright on their edges. Records stored horizontally will eventually bend and warp.
• Do not expose records to direct sunlight or high humidity and temperature. Long exposure to high temperatures will warp the record.
• Do not store your records in the trunk of your car. The temperature in a closed trunk can ruin your collection.
• Store records in an area with a stable temperature and low humidity.
