Care
Turntable body
• When the turntable body is dirty or dusty, first disconnect the power
cable plug, and then wipe off the dirt and dust with a soft, dry cloth.
• Do not use benzenes, thinners, etc.
• When storing the product for a long time, disconnect the power
cable plug from the outlet and wrap the equipment in plastic; do not
allow it to become damp.
Stylus tip
• If dirt and grime are stuck to the stylus tip, clean it with a
commercially sold brush.
• We recommend using a stylus cleaner (sold separately) if the stylus
tip is considerably dirty. Clean the stylus tip by moving the brush
from the rear to the front of the stylus tip.
