Cautions on use
About condensation
Water droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit (on operating parts and lenses) in the winter, for exam-
ple, if the unit is moved from a cold place into a warm room or if the temperature in the room in which the unit
is installed rises suddenly (through heating, etc.). The unit will not operate properly and will not be playable with
condensation inside. Let the unit stand for 1 to 2 hours at room temperature (though this time depends on the
conditions of the condensation) without turning on the power. The water droplets will evaporate and the unit will
become playable. Condensation can occur in the summer as well if the unit is exposed to the direct wind from an
air-conditioner, etc. If this happens, move the unit to a different location.
When transporting the unit to another location
Use the original packing materials to pack the unit.
If the original packing materials are not available, be sure to perform the following.
! Detach the turntable sheet and turntable and pack carefully.
! Detach the headshell and balance weight from the arm and pack carefully.
! Use the arm clamper to secure the tone arm and use tape to secure it so that it does not move.
! Wrap the main unit in a blanket or soft paper so that it will not be damaged.
Maintenance of each part
When attaching and detaching the headshell, turn off the power of the amplifier.
If you attempt to do so while the volume is loud, the speaker could be damaged.
! Remove the shell with cartridge and use a soft tip brush or writing brush to carefully remove dust, etc. from the
stylus tip.
! Use a good quality record cleaner to clean records.
! Use a soft cloth or something similar to clean the headshell terminal and then reattach it to the tone arm.
Cleaning the dust cover, etc.
Use a soft cloth to clean the dust cover and cabinet.
! Do not clean the dust cover while playing. Static electricity could cause the tone arm to be pulled by the dust
cover.
