To use this vinyl record, first make sure your turntable is clean and in good working condition. Gently place the record on the turntable and use the tonearm to lower the needle onto the start of the groove. When you're done listening, carefully lift the tonearm and return it to its rest. As for maintenance, keep the record in its sleeve when not in use to protect it from dust and scratches. Clean the record periodically with a vinyl record cleaning brush. Be careful when handling the record to avoid adding more scuff marks. If you notice any major issues during playback, it might be time to have it professionally cleaned or inspected.
