OPERATION PRECAUTIONS
Always clean the stylus both before and after
playing a record with a soft brush and try to
make it a rule to clean the records with a good
quality cleaner.
Be careful not to make the turntable vibrate
while a record is playing since this can result in
damage to the stylus and record.
When changing over the headshell, clamp the
tonearm to the arm rest so that the tonearm
shaft is not strained in any way.
Place only one record at a time on the platter.
If two or more records are stacked on the
platter, the stylus will not make proper contact
with the grooves, and this will impair the quality
of reproduction.
Do not disconnect the power cord while the
stylus is still in a record groove as this may
result in damage to the stylus and record.
Do not force the tonearm closer than 40mm to
the center shaft or outwards from the arm rest.
If this distance is exceeded, you may damage the
internal mechanisms and render automatic oper-
ation ineffective.
