Maintenance

Cleaning the Turntable

• Always unplug the unit from the power outlet before cleaning.
• Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior surfaces. Do not use abrasive cleaners, waxes, or solvents.
• The dust cover can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth.

Stylus Care

• The stylus is delicate. Handle it with extreme care.
• Only touch the tonearm, not the stylus itself.
• Clean the stylus periodically with a soft brush, brushing gently from back to front.
• A worn stylus can damage records and degrade sound quality. Replace the stylus after approximately 300-500 hours of playback, or if you notice a significant drop in sound quality.

Record Care

• Handle records by their edges or the label.
• Store records vertically in their sleeves, away from heat and direct sunlight.
