Instruction Manual
Head Maintenance
The head and tape path should be cleaned and demagnetised on a regular basis. Use
cassette tape head cleaner and demagnitiser. For special details on the proper use of these
items, read each item’s instruction manual.
Vinyl Records
• Do not touch the records grooves. Only
handle records by their edges or the label.
Ensure that your hands are clean, as skin
oil will gradually deteriorate the record.
• Keep your records away from dust and
store in a dry, cool place.
• Keep your records in sleeves when not in use to avoid dust and scratches.
• Store records upright. Records stored horizontally will bend and warp.
• Do not store records in the trunk of a car.
• Store records in an area with a stable temperature and
low humidity.
• To clean, gently wipe the surface in a
circular motion using a soft anti-static cloth.
Replacing the Stylus
It is recommended that the stylus is replaced as soon as you notice a change in the sound
quality. Prolonged use of a worn-out stylus may damage the record. Wear and tear on the
stylus will be accelerated when playing 78 RPM records.
Caution
• Do not bend the stylus.
• To avoid injury, do not touch the needle.
• Turn off the unit’s power before you replace the stylus.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Handle with care as the stylus is delicate. Use of a bent or broken stylus may damage the
record and cause malfunction.
• Do not expose the stylus to extreme heat.
• Contact a qualified repair person if you are having difficulties changing the stylus.
Removing an Old Stylus
• Set a flathead screwdriver at the
tip of the stylus and push down
to the direction “A”.
• Pull the stylus out towards
direction “B”.
