●Dust and dirt should be carefully removed from stylus tip or records. Dust and dirt on the stylus tip or record may not only result in deterioration of tone quality, but also cause undue wear of the record and the stylus tip itself.

●Transportation of the unit to distant places for removal and the like. Pack up the unit in the reverse order to that for unpacking, using the packing materials furnished when the unit was purchased. Should there be no such packing materials, be sure to take the following steps. Remove the turntable platter together with the turntable mat, and wrap it up to prevent any damage to them. Return the tone-arm to the arm rest, and affix it with tape or the like. Remove the balance weight and the headshell/cartridge from the tone-arm and then wrap them up to avoid and damage to them. Wrap up the turntable base with a blanket or soft paper also to prevent any possible damage to it.

●ACOUSTIC FEEDBACK AND HUM

Acoustic Feedback is usually cause by vibration of speaker, which affects the sensitive cartridge. If such a phenomenon occurs, relocate the turntable or speakers as far apart from each other as possible. Hum is usually cause by nearby appliances that use transformer or thermostat. Relocating the unit further away from the noise sources will readily solve the problem. Hum may also be produced if the grounding wire extending from the unit is securely connected to the GND terminal on the amplifier of mixer.
