as a precaution to save the furniture your Delphi sits on, it is advisable to use a folded

paper towel under the main bearing for a few weeks in the event of a bearing spillage.

the drive belt should be replaced yearly for an optimal performance.

We are confident your new Delphi will give you many years of satisfaction. You are now ready

for the real and only purpose of all this…to sit down and relax, just listen and enjoy beautiful

music.
