Included accessories
Check to be sure the box includes all the supplied accessories
shown below. Please contact the store where you purchased
this unit if any of these accessories are missing or have been
damaged during transportation.
Precautions for use
o Do not place anything on the dust cover. Objects on the
cover might cause noise due to vibrations or fall off, espe-
cially during playback.
o Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight, close to a source
of heat or in other similar conditions. Do not place the unit
on top of an amplifier or other equipment that might gen-
erate heat that exceeds the operating temperature range of
this unit. Doing so could cause discoloration, deformation
or malfunction.
o As the unit could become warm during operation, always
leave sufficient space around it for ventilation. When install-
ing this unit, leave a little space (at least 20 cm (8")) between
it and other devices and walls to allow good heat dissipation.
When placing it in a rack, for example, leave at least 35 cm
(13 3/4") open above it and 10 cm (4") open behind it.
Failure to provide these gaps could cause heat to build up
inside and result in fire.
o DO NOT MOVE THE UNIT DURING PLAYBACK. During play-
back, the record rotates. Do not lift or move the unit during
playback. Doing so may damage the record, the stylus, the
cartridge or the unit.
o Always remove the record before relocating or moving this
unit. Moving the unit with a record on the turntable (platter)
could damage the record, the stylus and the cartridge or
could cause a malfunction.
o The voltage supplied to the unit should match the voltage as
printed on the rear panel. If you are in any doubt regarding
this matter, consult an electrician.
Before use
Maintenance
If the surface of the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth or
use diluted mild liquid soap. Allow the surface of the unit to dry
completely before using.
o Do not use chemical cleaning cloths, thinner or similar sub-
stances as they could damage the surface of the unit.
V CAUTION
For safety, disconnect the power cord from the socket before
cleaning.

Handling records
Holding records
When holding a record or removing it from its sleeve, avoid
touching the grooves by holding the record by its label and
edge with one hand or by holding it by its edge with both
hands.
Label Grooves
Outer edge
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,
mold growth 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 unprotected could
result in warping or scratching.
o Do not use cracked records.
