To use this vinyl set, first, make sure your record player is clean and in good working condition. Gently remove the vinyl from the gatefold jacket, holding it by the edges to avoid fingerprints. Place the vinyl on the turntable and set the tonearm carefully on the record's edge. As for maintenance, keep the vinyl in its gatefold jacket when not in use to protect it from dust and scratches. Clean the vinyl regularly with a soft, anti - static brush. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, as this can damage the vinyl and affect the sound quality.
