3.6  BLANK VINYL

x

  Please make sure that the vinyl is perfectly flat when placed on the VRX-2000 for the vinyl cutting

procedure.  Vinyl that is not perfectly flat will prevent perfect quality recording.

x

 

If a bent or warped vinyl is used, the depth or width of the groove will be inconsistent.  It will cause a
distortion or needle skipping on playback.

x

 

On recording, please make sure the surface of the vinyl is clean.  Please do not use thinner or methylated
spirits for cleaning.

x

 

Before recording, please remove the protective sheets on both sides of the blank vinyl.  If the sheet is left
on the other side, the vinyl will not be properly secured on the silicone platter mat, which is essential for the
cutting process.

x

 

The special vinyl for the VRX-2000 has a similar durability of commercial vinyl, but a record cut in improper
circumstances/condition may have less durability than usual.
