Playing a Vinyl Record

Note
• Before you play a vinyl record, turn down the
audio device's volume. The loud, crackling noise
made by the tone arm descending and the
stylus coming into contact with the vinyl record
could damage the speakers or audio device.
Wait until the stylus has completely descended,
and then adjust the volume.
• Even new vinyl records may produce a crackling
noise when you play them. Please note that this
noise is a characteristic of playing vinyl records.
Also, be aware of the storage practices for vinyl
records, as dust and dirt that stick to the vinyl
records when they are taken out of their sleeves
may cause noise.
