Before detaching or attaching the headshell, be sure to turn
the power of the amplifier or mixer off.
●
Detaching or attaching of the headshell with the volume
control turned up may cause damage to the speakers.
●
Do not turn "ON" the power supply, with the turntable
platter detached.
●
When play is finished, be sure to secure the tone-arm with
the arm clamp. After play is finished, if the unit is not to be
used for some time, care should be taken to secure the tone-
arm to protect the stylus tip. For the same reason, the stylus
protector should also be attached.
●
Wipe the headshell terminals from time to time. Dust and
dirt at the headshell terminals may result in increased
"HUM" noise or intermittent sound. Use a soft dry cloth to
clean the heashell terminals.
●
Dust and dirt should be carefully removed from stylus tip
or records. Dust and dirt on the stylus tip or record may
not only result in deterioration of tone quality, but also
cause undue wear of the record and the stylus tip itself.
●
Transportation of the unit to distant places for removal and
the like. Pack up the unit in the reverse order to that for
unpacking, using the packing materials furnished when the
unit was purchased. Should there be no such packing
materials, be sure to take the following steps. Remove the
turntable platter together with the turntable mat, and wrap
it up to prevent any damage to them. Return the tone-arm
to the arm rest, and affix it with tape or the like. Remove
the balance weight and the headshell/cartridge from the
tone-arm and then wrap them up to avoid and damage to
them. Wrap up the turntable base with a blanket or soft
paper also to prevent any possible damage to it.
●
ACOUSTIC FEEDBACK AND HUM
Acoustic Feedback is usually cause by vibration of speaker,
which affects the sensitive cartridge. If such a phenomenon
occurs, relocate the turntable or speakers as far apart from
each other as possible. Hum is usually cause by nearby
appliances that use transformer or thermostat. Relocating
the unit further away from the noise sources will readily
solve the problem. Hum may also be produced if the
grounding wire extending from the unit is securely
connected to the GND terminal on the amplifier of mixer.
