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
• 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.
• When using a record cleaner,
wipe
the surface
of
the record
in a circular motion, following the grooves.
6
Precautions
• 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.
• 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.
• Do
not
allow
hard
objects
to
directly
touch
the
audio
grooves. Doing
so
could cause scratches.
• 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.
• Do
not
use
cracked records.
