MAINTENANCE

Always keep the turntable clean. If the surface of the unit gets dirty, wipe with a soft dry cloth or use a diluted mild liquid soap. Be sure to remove any excess liquid completely. Do not use thinner, benzine or alcohol as they may damage the surface of the unit. Allow the surface of the unit to dry completely before using.

Beware of condensation
When the unit (or a record/disc) is moved from a cold to warm place, or used after a sudden temperature change, condensation may form; vapor in the air could condense on the internal mechanism, making correct operation erratic or impossible. To prevent this, or if this occurs, leave the unit turned off for one or two hours. The unit will stabilize at the temperature of its surroundings.

Using Compact Discs
Discs which can be played on this unit:

• Conventional audio CD
• Properly finalized CD-R and CD-RW discs
• Always place the disc on the disc tray with the label side up. (Compact discs can be played or recorded only on one side.)
• To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges. Should the disc become dirty, wipe the surface radially (from the center hole outward towards the outer edge) with a soft, dry cloth.
• Never use such chemicals as record sprays, antistatic sprays or fluid, benzine or thinner to clean the discs. Such chemicals will do irreparable damage to the disc’s plastic surface.
• Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid dust and scratches that could cause the laser pickup to “skip.”
• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high humidity and temperature for extended periods. Long exposure to high temperatures will warp the disc.
• Do not play any disc that is warped, deformed or damaged. Playing such discs may cause irreparable harm to the playing mechanisms.
• CD-R and CD-RW discs are more sensitive to the effects of heat and ultraviolet rays than ordinary CDs. It is important that they are not stored in a location where direct sunlight will fall on them, and away from sources of heat such as radiators or heat-generating electrical devices.
• Printable CD-R and CD-RW discs are not recommended, as the label side might be sticky and damage the unit.
• Do not stick papers or protective sheets on the discs and do not use any protective coating spray.
• Use a soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the information on the label side. Never use a ball-point or hard-tipped pen, as this may cause damage to the recorded side.
• Never use a stabilizer. Using commercially available CD stabilizers with this unit will damage the mechanisms and cause them to malfunction.
• Do not use CDs with an irregular shape (octagonal, heart shaped, business card size, etc.). CDs of this sort can damage the unit:
• If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a CD-R/CD-RW disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc, or contact the disc manufacturer directly.

Using Cassette Tapes

Tape Handling:

• Use your finger or a pencil to turn the cassette tape’s hub and take up any slack tape.
• Avoid touching the tape. Fingerprints attract dust and dirt.
• Avoid dropping or subjecting cassettes to excessive shocks.
• As C-120 tapes are physically weak and could become entangled in the transport mechanism, do not use them.

Do not store tapes in the following places:

• On top of heaters, exposed to direct sunlight or in any other places with high temperatures.
• Near speakers, on TV sets or amplifiers or where they would be exposed to strong magnetic fields.
• Where humidity is high or in dirty, dusty places.

Head Maintenance
The head and tape path should be cleaned and demagnetized periodically. Please use a cassette type head cleaning tape and demagnetizer. For specific details on the proper use of either item, please read each item’s instruction manual.

Maintaining Vinyl Records

• Do not touch the record’s grooves. Only handle records by edges or 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.
• Keep your records away from dust. Store in a cool, dry place.
• Keep records in sleeves and jackets when not in use to avoid dust and scratches.
• Store records upright on edges. Records stored horizontally will bend and warp.
• Do not expose records to direct sunlight or high humidity and temperature. Long exposure to high temperatures will warp records.
• Do not store records in the trunk of a car.
• Store records in an area with a stable temperature and low humidity.
• Should the record become dirty, gently wipe surface in a circular motion, using a soft anti-static cloth.

How to Replace the Stylus
The stylus should last about 50 hours under normal use. However, it is recommended that the stylus be replaced as soon as you notice a change in sound quality. Prolonged use of a worn-out stylus may damage the record. Wear and tear on the stylus will be accelerated when playing 78 RPM records. The higher speed of 78 RPM records can wear the stylus more quickly.

Caution:

• Do not bend the stylus.
• To avoid injury, do not touch the needle.
• Turn off the unit’s power before you replace the stylus.
• Keep out of the reach of children.
• Handle with care, as the stylus is delicate. Use of a bent or broken stylus may damage the record and cause the turntable to malfunction.
• Do not expose stylus to extreme heat.
• Contact a qualified repair company if you experience difficulty in changing the stylus.

Removing an Old Stylus

1. Set a screwdriver at the tip of the stylus and push down to the direction “A”.
2. Pull the stylus out toward direction “B”.

Installing a New Stylus

1. Hold the tip of the stylus and insert the other edge by pressing toward direction “C”.
2. Push the stylus up toward direction “D” until it locks at the tip.
