Maintenance

• Cleaning the Unit:

  The stylus (needle) is a delicate component. Clean it periodically with a soft brush, brushing from back to front. Avoid touching the stylus with your fingers.

  A worn stylus can damage records and degrade sound quality. Replace the stylus approximately every 300-500 hours of playback, or if you notice a decrease in sound quality.
