Care of Discs
In designing the Beogram,
every effort has been made to
ensure that your records can be
played many times with no dete-
rioration of sound quality.
However, there is something you
can do. You can minimize wear
by avoiding dust particles and
finger prints on your records.
Dust can be wiped off using one
of the aids which are commer-
cially available.
We assume that you keep your
discs in their jackets.
Care should be taken in
removing a discs because the
friction against the inner side of
the jacket is enough to give the
disc a static charge which
attracts dust. Hold the disc
jacket so that its sides bend
away from the disc. Put your
hand in below the disc so that

the middle finger touches the
center hole and the thumb gribs
the rim of the disc, without
touching the grooves of the
disc. Pull the disc out of its
jacket in such a manner that the
jacket only touches the edge of
the disc, not the flat surfaces.
Hold only the rim of the disc
when putting it on the turntable.
Keep the dust cover of your
Beogram closed while playing
the disc.
Put the disc back in its jacket in
the same careful manner,
avoiding friction between the |
sides of the disc and the jacket.
By doing so you help to reduce
the need for antistatic wiping of
your disc. |

protecting your valuable records
and insuring long life of the
stylus.

Metal surfaces
The chassis deck and:-turntable
can usually be kept clean witha
dry cloth.
Be careful not to damage the
stylus. Put the stylus guard in
place before wiping the metal
surfaces clean of dust, and
before moving or transporting
your record player.
Any grease stains on the metal
surfaces can be removed witha
soft cloth moistened in acold or
lukewarm solution of detergent
in water.
Thereafter wipe throughly witha
dry cloth.
Dust cover
Repeated cleaning with a dry
cloth will cause the dust cover to
eventually pick up a static
charge. It is therefore advisable
to use detergent once in a while,
when wiping the dust cover.
Teak and Rosewood
If the wood surface seem grey
and dry you may apply athin
film of ordinary furniture oil,
though not more than once or
twice a year.
Blond Oak
The removal of dark spots
requires acetone. Do not use oil
under any circumstances - even
non-oil detergent or non-oil wax
can cause discoloration of the
Surface.
Should more extensive
treatment or repairs become ne-
cessary, consult your dealer.
