To use this vinyl record, simply place it on a turntable and use the tonearm to drop the needle gently on the record's groove. When you're done listening, lift the tonearm carefully and turn off the turntable. As for maintenance, keep the record in a cool, dry place to prevent further warping. You can also use a record brush to clean the grooves before each play. Be careful when handling the record to avoid scratches. Although the existing rim warp doesn't affect play, extra care will help keep it in good condition for a long time.
