IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS
We advise you
to
clean your records using a rag impregnate with
an
antistatic product
for
maximum
enjoyment
of
your records and also
to
make them last.
We would also
point
out
that
for
the same reason your stylus should
be
replaced periodically
(approximately every 250 hours). Dust the stylus from
time
to
time
using a very soft brush dipped in
alcohol (brushing from back
to
front
of
the cartridge).
WHEN
TRANSPORTING
YOUR
RECORD
PLAYER
DO
NOT
FORGET
TO:
Replace
the protective
cap
on
the stylus. Disconnect
the
drive belt by stretching
it
over the
