Handling Records
Do not touch the record’s grooves. Only handl e records by the edges or the label with cl ean hands. Otherwise, di rty
hands can leave a residue on the record surface that will gradually deteriorate the quality of your record.
Using a soft anti -static cloth to gently wipe the record surface when the record has become dirty.
Keep records in their album covers when not in use.
Store records upright on their edges. The level store would make it become curved.
Avoid placing records in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat such as radiators, stoves. Also avoid locations
subject to vibration and excessive dust, heat, col d or moisture.
How to Replace the Stylus
The stylus should last about 50 hours of playin g time under n ormal use. H owever, it is recommenced that the stylus be
replaced as soon as you notice a change in sound quality . Prolonged use of a worn-out stylus may damage the record.
The higher speeds of 78 RPM records will tend to wear out the stylus faster.
Caution:
Do not remove or bend the stylus.
Do not touch the needle, which may injure your hand.

About CD-R and CD-RW discs
CD-R discs can be recorded once only. Once they have been used for recording, they cannot be erased or re-recor ded.
However, if space is available on the disc (and the disc has not been Finalized), additional material can be recorded.
By contrast, a CD-RW disc can be used in much the same way as a CD-R disc, but the last track or tracks recorded can
be erased, and the space on the disc can be re-used for other recordings.
However, you should note that an audio CD created using a CD-RW disc may not play back satisfactorily on other audio
CD-players such as the CD player on your automobile.
CD-R, by contrast, can be played on the majority of audio CD players
.
Discs
Please use CD, CD-R and CD-RW discs bearing the “DIGITAL AUDIO” mark.
In this manual, although we refer to “CD-R” and “CD-RW” disc, we always mean “CD-R Digital Audio” and “CD-RW
Digital Audio”, even when this is not explicitly stated.
“CD-R” and “CD-R W” discs designed for com puter systems and prop erly recorded by a comp uter are playable, but
this unit cannot record, finalize or erase them.
Depending on the quality of the disc and the condition of the recording, some CD-R/CD-RW disc may not be
playable.
Always place the disc on the disc tray with the label side facing up (compact discs can be played or recorded only
on one side)
To move a disc from its storage case, pre ss down on the cen ter of the case an d lift the disc out, holding it carefully
by the edges.
If the disc(s) become dirty, wipe the surface from the center hole outward towards the outer edge with a soft, dry
cloth.

Discs (Continued)
Never use such chemicals as record spray, antistatic sprays or fluid, benzine or thinner to clean the discs. Such
chemicals will do irreparable damage to the disc’s plastic surface.
Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid dust and scratches that could cause the la ser pick u p to
“skip”.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high humidity and temperature for extend periods. L ong exposur e to high
temperatures will warp the disc.
Printable CD-R and CD-RW discs are not recommended, as the label side might be sticky and damage the unit.
Use a soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the i nfo rmation on the label side. Never use a ball- poi nt or hard-tipped
pen, as this may cause damage to the recorded side.
Do not use CDs with an irregular shape(octagonal, heart shaped, business card size, etc).CDs of this sort can
damage the unit:
If you have any doubts of using CD-R/CD-RW disc, rea d the pr ecautions suppli ed with the d isc, or co nt act the disc
manufacture directly.
