Tips For Better Performance

When opening or closing the turntable cover, handle it gently, moving it either at the center or equally from both sides.

Do not touch the stylus tip with your fingers; avoid bumping the stylus on the turntable mat or a record’s edge.

Clean the stylus tip frequently, using a soft brush with a back-to-front motion only.

If you use a stylus cleaning fluid, use it very sparingly.

Wipe the dust cover and turntable housing gently with a soft cloth. Use only a small amount of mild detergent solution to clean the turntable and dust cover.

Never apply harsh chemicals or solvents to any part of the turntable system.

Prior to moving the turntable, always unplug it from the AC outlet and fasten the tone arm on the tone arm rest with the vinyl twist-tie.
