Maintenance / Proper Handling Compact Disc Handling • Always place the disc on the disc tray with the label side facing upward (compact discs can be played/recorded only on one side). • 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. General Care • When removing the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull directly on the plug. Never pull the cord.
12 • To keep the laser pickup clean, do not touch it, and do not forget to close the disc tray. • Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents as this might damage the finish. • For cleaning, only use a clean, dry cloth. • In order to shut off the power to this product completely, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet. Be sure to unplug the unit if you do not intend to use it for an extended period of time. How to Replace the Turntable Stylus The stylus should last about 50 hours under normal use. However, it is recommenced 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. 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 your hand.  Turn off the unit’s power before you replace the stylus.  Keep out of reach of children.
13 USB TO PC RECORDING Audacity Software The provided CD disc contains the following software: (1)Audacity_for_MAC---------For Mac (2)Audacity_for_WIN---------For Windows The software is compatible with Window XP, VISTA, 7 and 8, 10 requires appropriate drives and Mac. NOTE: - Read about Audacity on Windows 8, 7 and Vista. Windows 2000, NT, and 95 are not supported. -Windows 10 is supported, but subject to all enabled devices having Windows 10-compatible drivers designed for the device. This should be the case for the built-in sound device of a new computer that came with Windows 10. Please see our Windows 10 page for solutions if you encounter problems. We hope to improve our Windows 10 compatibility with older devices in a future release. -A CPU that supports SSE2 is required (any CPU made after 2003 should support this). Please use the legacy Audacity 2.0.6 version if your machine lacks SSE2 support. - Audacity for Mac is a Universal Binary for OS X 10. 6 and later. Audacity runs best with at least 1 GB RAM and a 1 GHz processor (2 GB RAM/2 GHz on OS X 10.7 and later). - For lengthy multi-track projects, we recommend a minimum of 2 GB RAM and 2 GHz processor (4 GB RAM on OS X 10.7 and later). - The 2.1.1 release was the final release for PPC Macs. Because of the variation of different operation systems, some of the interface may not be the same as below.

The Windows installer for 2.0.x versions will replace legacy 1.2.x or any previous 2.0.x installation, but install alongside legacy 1.3.x Beta versions. It is strongly recommended to uninstall previous Beta versions before installing current Audacity. 6. Audacity 2.1.2 requires the CPU to support the SSE2 instruction set which should be available on any Intel hardware produced after 2001 and any AMD hardware produced after 2003.
