Care

Caring for this unit
Wipe the unit with a soft dry cloth. If the finish of your
unit is piano black, we recommend using a cleaning cloth
made for pianos. Do not use chemicals such as benzine or
thinner, since they might damage the surface.
Caring for the record stylus
The tip of the record stylus is extremely delicate. Handle
it with care so that it is not damaged. If dust should
adhere to the tip of the stylus, use a soft pointed brush to
wipe it off starting at the base of the stylus and moving
toward the tip, or use a commercially-available cleaner
made for that purpose.
Note
Before you clean or perform maintenance on the unit or
stylus, be sure to turn off the power to the unit.
Caring for records
Dirt adhering to a record can cause skips or noise. Use a
commercially-available record cleaner to remove dirt.
