Handling Records

Maintenance

< Fingerprints and dust cause noise and sound skip and damage

the record and stylus. If the record becomes dirty, gently wipe
the surface in a circular motion. Be sure to clean the records with
a commercially available record cleaner.

< Commercial record cleaning systems are available from many

retailers or on-line. TEAC does not endorse any specific product
but, depending on the condition of your record collection, it may
be advisable to look into one of these systems. Clean records
protect your stylus from undue wear.

Storage precautions

< To avoid dust and scratches, keep records in their sleeves and

jackets when not in use.

< Store records upright on their edges. Records stored horizontally

will eventually bend and warp.

< To protect your records from dust, scratches, and warping, do not

store or place them in the following places:

Locations exposed to direct sunlight
High-temperature and humidity locations
Dusty locations
In the glove compartment or on the rear deck of an automobile

Handling precautions

< Do not touch the record’s grooves. Only handle records, by

the edges or the label, with clean hands. Skin oils from even
clean hands can leave a residue on the record surface that will
gradually deteriorate the quality of your record.
