• To clean a record, use a soft anti-static cloth to gently wipe the record surface.
• Keep records in their protective sleeves when not in use.
• Always store records upright on their edges.
• Avoid placing records in direct sunlight, near heat sources (radiators, stoves), or in locations subject to vibration, excessive dust, heat, cold, or moisture.

How to Replace the Turntable Stylus

The stylus should last approximately 50 hours of normal use. Replace the stylus if you notice a change in sound quality, as a worn-out stylus may damage records, especially at 78 RPM.

Removing the Stylus from the Cartridge:

2. Pull the stylus out towards direction "B".

Installing the Stylus:
