Page 13 Vinyl Care Unlike digital and solid state sources of music, turntables and vinyl LP’s require a gentle touch to maximize performance and longevity. Following these guidelines will result in years ofnoiseefree, reliable performance. . Do not handle records by the grooved areas. Grasp them by the edges, or by balancing the label on your thumb and steadying it with your forefinger at the edge ofthe record. Fingerprint oils attract dust which increases wear and adds noise. . Invest in a good record cleaning brush and use it prior to each play. . Invest in a quality residue-free record cleaning system. Use it after every few plays or as needed. - Always place your records back in their protective sleeves immediately after each use. Never leave them laying around unprotected. . Always store your records vertically, and away from heat and sunlight. . Whenever possible, use the arm lift (a.k.a. cueing lever) to gently raise and lower the stylus to the record surface. - Clean the stylus regularly using a soft brush, or by blowing on it. Always brush from back to front. NEVER brush from side to side or front to back or the stylus will be damaged. . Never play a record with a bent, misaligned, or damaged stylus or the record will be permanently damaged. . Always use the tracking force recommended by the stylus manufacturer. Setting the force too light is as damaging to your valuable vinyl LP’s as setting it too heavy.
