CARE AND MAINTENANCE

10
Record Care
1. Records should be stored vertically in a dry environment away from sources of heat.
2. An anti-static brush can be used to remove dirt from the record’s grooved surface.
Use a record cleaning solution to further clean your records to ensure crystal clear
playback.
3. It is important to use the cueing lever when lifting or lowering the tonearm to prevent
accidental slipping and scratching.
The RR35/RR36 is not turning on
Conrm the power cable is fully inserted into the back of the RR35/RR36 and that the
power switch on the back on the unit is set to the ON position. Try to turn the system on
by moving the speed selection switch to the 33 or 45 RPM settings. If the issue persists,
connect the RR35/RR36 in a dierent power outlet.
My turntable will not spin or play a record
Please ensure the system is plugged into a known good outlet and that the power switch
on the back of the unit is turned on. Conrm the speed selection switch is not set to OFF.
Moving the tonearm above the record should trigger the platter to start spinning.
My turntable seems to wobble
It is normal for a turntable to have a slight wobble, however this should not aect audio
quality. If your turntable is wobbling and you are concerned, rst make sure you have the
turntable on a at surface. Check your vinyl to ensure it is not warped.
What do I do if my records are skipping?
Ensure that the RR35/RR36 is setup on a level and sturdy surface. It is also important
to ensure your records are kept clean and stored properly to prevent warping. Check
the stylus for debris. Ensure the cueing lever is lowered completely. Press down on the
tonearm bridge to conrm fully lowered. If the issue persists it is recommended to test
with other records.
I’m experiencing feedback when listening to records
Feedback can occur when the volume is too loud in the environment where the record is
being played. The stylus can pick up this noise and send it back into the system causing
feedback. If you experience feedback it is recommended to place the speakers on a
separate surface directed away from the RR35/RR36.
