NOTES Before detaching or attaching the headshell, be sure to turn the power of the amplifier or mixer off.

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. Dust and dirt at the headshell terminals may result in increased "HUM" noise or intermittent sound. 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.

ACOUSTIC FEEDBACK AND HUM Acoustic Feedback is usually cause by vibration of speaker, which affects the sensitive cartridge.
