platter detached.
When play is finished, be sure to secure the tone-arm with
the arm clamp. After play is finished, if the unit is not to
be used for some time, care should be taken to secure the
tone-arm to protect the stylus tip. For the same reason, the
stylus protector should also be attached.
Wipe the headshell terminals from time to time. Dust and
dirt at the headshell terminals may result in increased
"HUM" noise or intermittent sound. Use a soft dry cloth to
clean the heashell terminals.
Dust and dirt should be carefully removed from stylus tip
or records. Dust and dirt on the stylus tip or record may
not only result in deterioration of tone quality, but also
cause undue wear of the record and the stylus tip itself.
Transportation of the unit to distant places for removal and
the like. Pack up the unit in the reverse order to that for
unpacking, using the packing materials furnished when the
unit was purchased. Should there be no such packing
materials, be sure to take the following steps. Remove the
turntable platter together with the turntable mat, and wrap
it up to prevent any damage to them. Return the tone-arm
to the arm rest, and affix it with tape or the like. Remove
the balance weight and the headshell/cartridge from the
tone-arm and then wrap them up to avoid and damage to
them. Wrap up the turntable base with a blanket or soft
paper also to prevent any possible damage to it.
ACOUSTIC FEEDBACK AND HUM
Acoustic Feedback is usually cause by vibration of
speaker, which affects the sensitive cartridge. If such a
phenomenon occurs, relocate the turntable or speakers as
far apart from each other as possible. Hum is usually
cause by nearby appliances that use transformer or
thermostat. Relocating the unit further away from the
noise sources will readily solve the problem. Hum may
also be produced if the grounding wire extending from the
unit is securely connected to the GND terminal on the
amplifier of mixer.
