you run a bead of cleaning fluid on the leading edge of brush, the with record on flat non scratch surface run the brush in circular fashion with the record grooves and turn the brush tiny bit as you go. You'll pick up lint buried in the grooves. Wipe brush clean repeat until both side shinny finger print free and clean.

Put the fluid on the brush and place on spinning record a few rotations. Clean record

Just apply a small amount of solution to the the edge that the arrow points too. lay the LP on a flat surface with a microfiber cloth under it. Start by wiping in the same rotation as the grooves with the wet side first after you have made it all the way around start to rock the applicator back to dry and pick up dirt. If the LP just needs a dusting you can do it on the turntable but be careful you can damage the TT. The red brush is to clean the applicator.

The disc cleaner will clean any disc with-out harm , just make sure you have A new cleaning wheel on the machine ! It cleans any disc of smudges or any small particles on your disc .I've been using A disc cleaner for about 20yrs , no problems !

should never use cleaning disk..... that simply is to clean residue in maker. Use tea discs only or boil water on stove, safe way to do it.

I had a whole bunch of records in a basement flood that had significant mold build up and the SpinClean cleaned them up very well. I did spin them more than the regular 3 times in each direction but they play very nicely now. Change the fluid frequently as it gets filled up with gunk (I got about 50 discs per fluid fill). Now if only I could rescue the sleeves...

It's a Blue Ray disc cleaner. The instructions make no reference to any specific make or model. I use mine on my Pioneer.

You have to use tape. The box is well made and perfect for records. I hope this helps.

I washed some 180 gram vinyl records with this cleaner. The fit is snug, but not overly tight and they were cleaned easily.

This will clean vinyl siding well but you have to remember that power washers were not designed to clean siding full force. You can ruin it or slice it like a razor with the water power. Siding should be sprayed with water and then with a mild detergent or cleaner (1/3 bleach with water to get out green mold) and even brushed down with an automotive bruch on a pole. The advantage of the power washer is to be able to be a few feet away from the work if you want to put it on high. You don't blast it off, you wash it off. This is a pretty good unit.

I am not constantly playing my old vinyls, which are not in pristine condition to begin with, so I really cannot answer. I haven't transferred anything to CD yet either.

I only play old vinyl records on mine. It works beautifully with a few added modern hook ups being the main difference between old player and new one.

There are 1/2 or so manufacturer's who make fluids for record cleaning machines. All are similar. Roy Hall is sending us a formula if you want to make your own. Plain tap water is not recommended.Dick MouldingSpearit Sound

Don't know about mold. Ask the company directly (www.spincleanrecordwasher.com). They responded to a question I had. Otherwise, you'll have to experiment. Maybe a weak solution of bleach, but it might run down on the label, so you'd have to turn the record very slowly and have a dry cloth at the ready to make sure that didn't happen.

1st: Make sure it's set to the correct setting: 33 1/3, 45 or 78 (Size/Speed of Record)2nd: Make sure the Record is not Warped/ badly scratched (this may cause skipping) 3rd: Make sure the record and needle are clean: (Use Alcohol & a Vinyl LP cleaner for Record/Qtip for Needle) last: *Since I don't believe this model has a weight setting on the arm and I'd hate to see you tape a bunch of penny's to it so it stops the skipping...I'd recommend you contact: the manufacture: (Website) http://www.electrohome.com/contact/

It is a excellent product. I already transfered to CD more than 35 vinyl albums (some from the 60's). I found it was easy to use, the sound quality was impressive and the noises cleaning was very good.

I have had mine for 20 years and am still using it. It cleans just as good as it did on day one. I have a very large record collection of over 200 albums and 500 45s if this helps any.

First, you must decide which is more important...Saving and playing warped records or the life of your entire collection!! Maybe you should invest in a second cart and headshell so you can choose when to play warped records. Or, you could use the time tested method of a penny or a dime taped to the headshell. After a few plays you will notice what appears to be a whitish color in the grooves...and a shhhhhh sound, That is your music being dug and scraped out by the heavy tracking force of the stylus. I think keeping your records separated into flat and warped and using two headshell/stylus combinations is the way to go.&lt;Get a cheaper cartridge-stylus combination. A set up for 45's would be a good bet...The larger stylus may fit the record grooves better. &gt; Also, try washing your records and gently scrubbing the grooves with a med soft toothbrush. Go with the groove and not against it. Try this: Take a warped record that seems to be a loss ...Fill a sink with hot tap water, just hot enough to feel the heat, ( Not too hot or you will make it worse, the record will curl! A friend of mine had pretty good success with a hair dryer.) place the record in the water for about five minutes...Remove from the water, quickly dry and place on a flat surface with a weighted flat surface on top. (Two pieces of flat glass or plastic are perfect.) and allow record to cool thoroughly. Repeat as is necessary...after awhile the record will come back closer to flat, at least flat enough so that it can be rescued by copying to a CD. Also, Go on line and find a commercial record cleaning fluid to lube the grooves after washing them with dish soap; that may help with the skipping problem. As far as the arm is concerned, just adjust the counter weight until the arm "Floats" balanced then add one more click to let the stylus settle to the record surface.

Perhaps you are talking about a vinyl disc. You will need a turntable connected to the computer and appropriate software. I have used Wave Corrector for this for years, works great. If you have scratched CDs, the best I have found is Exact Audio Copy, which is free and does the best job possible reading the CD. I don't use any other tool, just give up on tracks that are too badly damaged. However, if the scratches are on the bottom (plastic), some sort of buffer might help. Rinsing with tap water or rubbing with thumb OUTWARD ALONG RADIUS, can help get rid of gunk. If the scratches are in the top, through the coating and into the aluminum, it's toast. None of these functions really have anything to do with the audio card, unless it has some software for this (which I don't use). CDs are fairly robust, having good error correction, so even with errors from EAC, you may get a usable recording. (Not so with DVD, where I understand they ripped out error correction to get more space.) Hope this helps - Pete
