Maintenance

• Cleaning the Unit: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the turntable and speakers. Do not use abrasive cleaners, waxes, or solvents.
• Dust Cover: Keep the dust cover closed when not in use to protect the turntable and records from dust and debris.
• Stylus Care: The stylus (needle) is delicate. Avoid touching it with your fingers. Use a soft brush (not included) to gently clean the stylus from back to front. A worn or dirty stylus can damage records and degrade sound quality. Replace the stylus if sound quality deteriorates significantly.
• Record Care: Keep records clean and free of dust. Store them vertically in their sleeves to prevent warping.
