Dust cover
1 Insert the hinges completely into the
hinge holders at the left and right ends
of the back of the main unit.
2 Align the tops of the hinges with the
dust cover hinge holders and insert
them.
o Close the dust cover during playback. Doing so
prevents stylus skipping caused by unintended con-
tact and protects the stylus tip from outside sound
pressure.
o Do not open or close it when a record is playing.
Doing so could, for example, cause the stylus to skip.
o Keep it closed whenever possible to keep dust out.
Removing the dust cover
Hold both edges of the dust cover and lift it slowly to remove it
along with the hinges from the unit. Then, remove the hinges
from the dust cover.

Handling records
Holding records
When holding a record or removing it from its sleeve, avoid
touching the grooves by holding the record by its label and
edge with one hand or by holding it by its edge with both
hands.

Cleaning
o Fingerprints and dust on a record can cause noise and
the sound to skip, as well as damage the record itself and
the stylus. Use a commercially available record cleaner to
clean records. Do not use thinner or anything other than a
record cleaner. Such chemicals could harm the surface of
the record.
o When using a record cleaner, wipe the surface of the record
in a circular motion, following the grooves.
Precautions
o Do not leave records in places that are exposed to direct
sunlight or are very hot or very humid. Leaving a record in
such a condition for a long time could result in warping,
mold growth or other damage.
o Do not stack multiple records or place heavy objects on top
of them. Do not leave records at an angle for long amounts
of time, either. Doing so could result in warping or other
damage.
o Do not allow hard objects to directly touch the audio
grooves. Doing so could cause scratches.
o After you finish playing a record, always put it back into
its sleeve for storage. Leaving a record unprotected could
result in warping or scratching.
o Do not use cracked records.
