Cleaning
o
Fingerprints and dust on a record can cause noise
and the sound to skip, as well as damage the record
itself and the stylus . Use a commercially available
record cleaner to clean records . Do not use thinner or
anything other than a record cleaner . Such chemicals
could harm the surface of the record .
o
When using a record cleaner, wipe the surface of the
record in a circular motion, following the grooves .
Precautions
o
Do not leave records in places that are exposed to
direct sunlight or are very hot or very humid . Leaving
a record in such a condition for a long time could
result in warping or other damage .
o
Do not stack multiple records or place heavy objects
on top of them . Do not leave records at an angle for
long amounts of time either . Doing so could result in
warping or other damage .
o
Do not allow hard objects to directly touch the audio
grooves . Doing so could cause scratches .
o
After you finish playing a record, always put it back
into its sleeve for storage . Leaving a record unpro-
tected could result in warping or scratching .
o
Do not use cracked records .
