cords on the turntable for long periods if not in use.
Store vertical rather than horizontally or flat. If possible, store records at average room temperatures. Do not permit them near or in contact with heat producing devices, such as radiators, electronic equipment, amplifiers, etc. Excessive temperatures tend to cause warpage of records. Avoid handling the groove surfaces as this will deposit a film of oil. Hold records by their outer edges when mounting or removing from turntable to keep records clean.
