Maintenance and cleaning

Your record player requires little or no regular maintenance. Remove dust with a slightly moistened antistatic
cloth. Never use a dry cloth because this will create static electricity which attracts even more dust! Antistatic
cleaning fluids are available at specialized stores but must be applied sparingly to avoid damage to rubber
parts. It is recommended to fit the needle cover before cleaning or maintenance to avoid damage.
If the player is not used over a long period of time, the drive belt should be removed to prevent unequal
stretching.
Always disconnect the record player from the mains power supply as a precaution before maintenance!

Useful tips

The lid (optional) is not only a dust cover but also a resonant structure likely to be excited by, and to pass into
the plinth, the acoustic energy emanating from your loudspeakers during replay. Therefore it is
recommended to remove the lid for a better sound quality.
The record player should be positioned on a low-resonance surface, like wood or multiple layer ply board to
avoid structural vibrations disturbing replay.
