Precautions for use

  • Do not place anything on the turntable cover. Objects on the cover might cause noise due to vibrations or fall off, especially during playback.
  • Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight, close to a source of heat or in other similar conditions. Do not place the unit on top of an amplifier or other equipment that might generate heat that exceeds the operating temperature range of this unit. Doing so could cause discoloration, deformation or malfunction.
  • As the unit could become warm during operation, always leave sufficient space around it for ventilation. When installing this unit, leave a little space (at least 20 cm (8")) between it and other devices and walls to allow good heat dissipation.

When placing it in a rack, for example, leave at least 35 cm (13 3/4") open above it and 10 cm (4") open behind it. Failure to provide these gaps could cause heat to build up inside and result in fire.

  • DO NOT MOVE THE UNIT DURING PLAYBACK. During playback, the record rotates. Do not lift or move the unit during playback. Doing so may damage the record, the stylus, the cartridge or the unit.
  • Always remove the record before relocating or moving this unit. Moving the unit with a record on the turntable could damage the record, the stylus and the cartridge or could cause a malfunction.
  • The voltage supplied to the unit should match the voltage as printed on the rear panel. If you are in any doubt regarding this matter, consult an electrician.

Maintenance

If the surface of the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth or use diluted mild liquid soap. Allow the surface of the unit to dry completely before using.

- Do not use chemical cleaning cloths, thinner or similar substances as they could damage the surface of the unit.
