CONNECTIONS RECORD PLAYING
• Turn ott the amplifier before making connections.
• Be sure to insert the cable connectors firmly into the jacks.
Loose connections may cause hum and noise.
• Connect the red piug of the connecting cord to the right-channel
jack [R] of the amplifier and the white plug to the left-channel jack
[Lj. Otherwise, the right and left channels will be reversed.
• Leave a little slack in the connecting cord to allow for inadvertent
shock or vibration.
TIPS ON RECORD HANDLING •
• Before playing, clean the record with a record cleaner or soft
cloth. If a spray cleaner is used, make sure that it has dried com­
pletely before playing the record. Playing the record before the
cleaner has dried may damage the record.
It is a good idea to clean the record again before putting it away.
• Handle a record by its edges and do not touch the grooves.
Fingerprints on the record surface may encourage an accumula­
tion of dust, resulting in impaired tone.
• Use a commercially available anti-static spray to neutralize the
static electricity on a record.
• Avoid exposing a record to direct sunlight or sources of heat,
such as a hot-air duct.
• Store your records vertically. They should not be compressed.
PREPARATION
• Place a record on the platter. For 17 cm (7 inch) records, put the
supplied 45-rpm adaptor over the center spindle.
• Lower the amplifier volume and set the input selector to PHONO.
