Important:

• Closing the top cover helps prevent dust accumulation.
• Always relock the tone arm clip before transporting the unit.
• Do not place anything on the turntable cover while playing a record.

Maintenance / Proper Handling

Handling Vinyl Records

• Handle records by the edges or label with clean hands. Do not touch the grooves, as this degrades quality.
• Clean records with a soft, anti-static cloth.
• Store 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, or in areas with vibration, excessive dust, heat, cold, or moisture.

General Care

• When unplugging, pull the plug directly, never the cord.
• Keep the laser pickup clean; do not touch it, and ensure the disc tray is closed.
• Do not use chemical solvents for cleaning, as they may damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth only.
• To completely shut off power, unplug the unit from the wall outlet, especially for extended periods of non-use.

How to Replace the Turntable Stylus (Replacement Needle # ITNP-LC1)

The stylus typically lasts about 50 hours of normal use. Replace it when sound quality declines, as a worn stylus can damage records. 78 RPM records wear the stylus more quickly.

Removing the Old Stylus:

1. Place a screwdriver at the tip of the stylus and push downward (A).
2. Pull the stylus downward and forward simultaneously to remove it.

Installing a New Stylus:

1. Hold the front tip of the new stylus and insert its rear edge (B) first.
2. Push the stylus upwards (C) until it locks into place.

Caution:

• Do not bend the stylus.
• Avoid touching the needle to prevent injury.
• Turn off the unit's power before replacing the stylus.
• Keep out of reach of children.
