• To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case and lift the disc upward, holding it carefully by its edges.
• To clean a disc, wipe the surface from the center hole outward towards the outer edge with a soft, dry cloth. Never use such chemicals as record spray, antistatic sprays or fluid, benzine or thinner to clean discs; they will irreparably damage the disc's plastic surface.
• Discs should be returned to their cases after use to protect from dust and scratches.
• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, or high temperature for extended periods of time.
• Printable CD-R and CD-RW discs are not recommended, as the label side may become sticky and damage the unit.
• Use a soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write information on the label side. Never use a ball-point or hard-tipped pen, as doing so may damage the recorded side.
• Do not use irregularly-shaped CDs (octagonal, heart shaped, business card size, etc), as they will damage the unit.
• Read all precautions supplied with any CD-R or CD-RW disc.
• Never handle a disc with dirty fingers.
• Never insert a disc that has a crack on the surface.

Handling Vinyl Records

• Do not touch the record's grooves. Only handle records by the edges or the label with clean hands. Touching the record surface will cause your record's quality to deteriorate.
• 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, close to a heat source (radiators, stoves, etc.), or in a location subject to vibration, excessive dust, heat, cold or moisture.

How to Replace the Turntable Stylus ✒️

The stylus should last about 50 hours under normal use. However, it is recommended that the stylus be replaced as soon as you notice a change in sound quality. Prolonged use of a worn-out stylus may damage the record. The highest speed of 78 RPM records would wear out the stylus more quickly. (Replacement Needle # ITNP-LC1).

Removing the old stylus:

1. Set a screwdriver at the tip of the stylus and push downward (A).
2. Remove the stylus by pulling it simultaneously downward and forward.

Installing a new stylus:

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

Caution:

• Do not bend the stylus.
• Do not touch the needle to avoid injury to your hand.
• Turn off the unit's power before you replace the stylus.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Diagram Description: Illustrations show the process of removing and installing a stylus. Part A shows pushing down on the old stylus. Part B shows inserting the rear edge of the new stylus. Part C shows pushing the new stylus upwards to lock it. "Guide Pins (inside)" is also indicated.
