Precautions for use
  • Place the unit on a flat surface.

  • Do not place anything on the dust cover. Objects on the cover might cause noise due to vibrations or fall off, especially during playback.

  • o Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight, close to a source of heat or in other similar conditions. Do not place the unit on top of an amplifier or other equipment that might generate heat that exceeds the operating temperature range of this unit. Doing so could cause discoloration, deformation or malfunction.

  • As the unit could become warm during operation, always leave sufficient space around it for ventilation. When installing this unit, leave a little space (at least 20 cm (8″)) between it and other devices and walls to allow good heat dissipation.
    When placing it in a rack, for example, leave at least 35 cm (13 3/4″) open above it and 10 cm (4″) open behind it. Failure to provide these gaps could cause heat to build up inside and result in fire.

  • DO NOT MOVE THE UNIT DURING PLAYBACK. During play- back, the record rotates. Do not lift or move the unit during playback. Doing so may damage the record, the stylus, the cartridge or the unit.

  • Always remove the record before relocating or moving this unit. Moving the unit with a record on the turntable could damage the record, the stylus and the cartridge or could cause a malfunction.

  • The voltage supplied to the unit should match the voltage as printed on the rear panel. If you are in any doubt regarding this matter, consult an electrician.

Maintenance

If the surface of the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth or use diluted mild liquid soap. Allow the surface of the unit to dry completely before using.

  •  Do not use chemical cleaning cloths, thinner or similar sub-stances as they could damage the surface of the unit.

CAUTION
For safety, disconnect the power cord from the socket before cleaning.

Handling records

Holding records

When holding a record or removing it from its sleeve, avoid touching the grooves by holding the record by its label and edge with one hand or by holding it by its edge with both hands.
TEAC TN-400BT-SE Analog Turntable 01

Cleaning
  • Fingerprints and dust on a record can cause noise and the sound to skip, as well as damage the record itself and the stylus. Use a commercially-available record cleaner to clean records. Do not use thinner or anything other than a record cleaner. Such chemicals could harm the surface of the record.
  • When using a record cleaner, wipe the surface of the record in a circular motion, following the grooves.
Precautions for use
  • Do not leave records in places that are exposed to direct sunlight or are very hot or very humid. Leaving a record in such a condition for a long time could result in warping, mold growth or other damage.
  • Do not stack multiple records or place heavy objects on top of them. Do not leave records at an angle for long amounts of time either. Doing so could result in warping or other damage.
  • Do not allow hard objects to directly touch the audio grooves. Doing so could cause scratches.
  • After you finish playing a record, always put it back into its sleeve for storage. Leaving a record unprotected could result in warping or scratching.
  • Do not use cracked records.

Notes about record styluses

  • If the stylus becomes bent (damaged), it will no longer be able to accurately trace the groove. Since a bent stylus could also damage records and cause malfunction, handle styluses carefully.
  • Always use a commercially-available stylus cleaner to clean a stylus. Use of anything other than a stylus cleaner could damage the stylus.
Replacing the stylus

If the tip of the stylus becomes worn, not only will it worsen the sound quality, it could also damage records. After about 300 hours of playback time, replace the stylus with one that we specify.
Please use an Audio-Technica ATN95E replacement stylus.

  • An Audio-Technica AT95E VM Type cartridge is installed in this unit.
