Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your turntable.
- Cleaning the Stylus:
The stylus (needle) is delicate. Use a soft brush, specifically designed for stylus cleaning, and gently brush from back to front (away from the cantilever) to remove dust and debris. Do not use excessive force or brush side-to-side.
- Cleaning the Unit:
Wipe the turntable unit and speakers with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For stubborn marks, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but ensure the unit is unplugged and completely dry before reconnecting power. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Dust Cover Care:
The dust cover protects your records and turntable. Clean it regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could scratch or cloud the plastic. Always keep the dust cover closed when the turntable is not in use.
- Record Care:
Keep your records clean to prevent dust from accumulating on the stylus. Use a record brush before each play to remove surface dust. Store records vertically in their sleeves to prevent warping.
