- To keep the stylus pickup clean, do not touch it, and always replace with the protective cover. Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents as this might damage the finish. Use a clean damp dry cloth.
- Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
DO NOT MOVE THE UNIT WHILST IT IS IN USE
During playback, the turntable rotates at high speed. Doing so may damage the turntable mechanism or the unit.
WHEN MOVING THE UNIT
When changing the unit’s location or packing the unit for moving, after disconnecting the power adapter from the outlet, remove the mat and platter, and then wrap them so that they do not get damaged. Be sure to pack the unit carefully and securely. If the unit is to be packed and moved a great distance, it is also advisable to lock the Tonearm on the holder.
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.
