Maintenance and Proper Handling

Handling Vinyl Records

• Do not touch the record's grooves. Handle records only by the edges or the label with clean hands. Touching the record surface can deteriorate its quality.
• 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 heat sources (radiators, stoves, etc.), or in locations subject to vibration, excessive dust, heat, cold, or moisture.

How to Replace the Turntable Stylus

The stylus (needle) should last about 50 hours under normal use. Replace the stylus as soon as you notice a change in sound quality, as prolonged use of a worn-out stylus may damage records. High-speed 78 RPM records wear out the stylus more quickly.

Removing the Stylus from the Cartridge

1. Position a screwdriver at the tip of the stylus and push down in direction "A". WARNING: Applying too much force may damage or break the stylus.
2. Pull the stylus out toward direction "B".

Installing the Stylus

1. Hold the tip of the new stylus and insert the other edge by pressing toward direction "C".
2. Push the stylus up toward direction "D" until it locks at the tip.

Caution:

• Do not remove or bend the stylus needle.
• Do not touch the needle to avoid injury.
• Turn off the unit's power before replacing the stylus.
• Keep out of reach of children.
