Care of the parts


  1. Thoroughly clean dust off the stylus and record.

  2. Wipe the head shell terminals occasionally.
    Wipe the head shell terminals with a soft cloth and fit the head shell to the tone arm.
  3. Turn the amplifier volume down or turn the amplifier off before fitting or removing the head shell.
    Damage to your speakers can occur if the head shell is moved while the volume is turned up.

Cleaning the dust cover and cabinet

Wipe the dust cover and cabinet with a soft cloth.
Do not touch the board while cleaning. Otherwise, the player may fail.
When dirt is heavy, wring a wet cloth tightly to wipe the dirt, and then wipe it with a soft cloth.


  • Do not use solvents including benzene, thinner, alcohol, kitchen detergent, a chemical wiper, etc. This might cause the exterior case to be deformed or the coating to come off.
  • Do not wipe the dust cover while playing a record.
    This can cause static electricity. This static can cause the tone arm to be attracted towards the dust cover.
