Needles can last up to 1000 hours depending on the condition of the records. We recommend cleaning your needle by using compressed air or a stylus brush to remove dust and debris as needed.

NOTE: Needles and Belts are consumable items that will need to be replaced as part of the regular care and maintenance of the product.

Static and hissing on the playback of the cassette are generally causes of a dirty tape deck. We recommend cleaning the tape deck assembly at least once every 24 hours of use.

Skipping-related issues are generally caused by a dirty CD player. We recommend cleaning CD/Recorder assemblies using a CD lens cleaning kit once a year depending on the actual usage of the unit.

Dust frequently with a clean, soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Wipe the surface in the direction of the grain to remove dirt and fingerprints. We do not recommend the use of aerosol-powered cleaners, or polishes that contain silicone, waxes, or abrasives, or are oil-based.
6)  ABS COMPOSITE PLASTIC/VINYL CABINETRY
Dust frequently with a clean, soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Clean the unit with a slightly damp cloth and mild detergent. Rinse cloth in clear water and wring out, then wipe again to remove detergent residue. To prevent damage use a dry cloth to wipe excess moisture.
