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.

Cleaning
ooFingerprints 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.
ooWhen using a record cleaner, wipe the surface of the record in a circular motion, following the grooves.
Precautions
ooDo 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 or other damage.
ooDo 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.
ooDo not allow hard objects to directly touch the audio grooves. Doing so could cause scratches.
ooAfter you finish playing a record, always put it back into its sleeve for storage. Leaving a record unprotected could result in warping or scratching.
ooDo not use cracked records.
Placing the rubber mat
Place the included rubber mat, which protects the turn- table, on the turntable.
ooThe rubber mat has top and bottom sides. Place the side with radiating lines face up as shown in the illustration.
