ENGLISH
Handling Records
< Keep your records away from dust. Keep them in a cool, dry
place.
< To avoid dust and scratches, keep records in their sleeves and
jackets when not in use.
< Store records upright on their edges. Records stored
horizontally will eventually bend and warp.
< Do not expose records to direct sunlight or high humidity and
temperature. Long exposure to high temperatures will warp
the record.
< Do not store your records in the trunk of your car. The
temperatures in a closed trunk can ruin your collection.
< Store records in an area with stable temperature and humidity.
< Should the record become dirty, gently wipe the surface in a
circular motion, using a soft anti-static cloth.
Many commercial record cleaning systems are available from
many retailers or on-line. TEAC does not endorse any specific
product but, depending on the condition of your record
collection, it may be advisable to look into one of these
systems. Clean records protect your stylus from undue wear.
< Do not touch grooves. Handle records by the edges or the
label only, with clean hands. Skin oils from even clean hands
can leave a residue on the record surface that will gradually
deteriorate the quality of your record.

How to Replace the Stylus
Stylus should last about 50 hours under normal use. However, it is
recommended to replace the stylus as soon as you notice a
change in sound quality.
Prolonged use of a worn-out stylus may damage the record. Wear
and tear will accelerate when playing 78 RPM records. The
higher speed of 78 RPM records wears the stylus more quickly.
Caution:
< Do not remove or bend stylus.
< To avoid injury, do not touch the needle.
< Turn off the power of the unit before you replace the stylus.
< Keep out of reach of children.
< Handle with care, as the stylus is delicate. Use of a bent or
broken stylus may damage the record and cause mal-function.
< Do not expose stylus to extreme heat.
< Contact a qualified repair company if you experience difficulty
in changing the stylus.
