STYLUS REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT

Remove and replace the stylus as shown above. Always hold the stylus by the plastic grip. Do not touch or dam-age the diamond tip or cantilever. Do not force.

STYLUS CLEANING

Use a soft brush with alcohol or an alcohol-distilled water solution. Commercial cleaning solutions may cause stylus damage. Brush only from back to front as shown here, never front to back or side to side.

CARTRIDGE OPERATION

  1. Make certain cartridge is correctly mounted in tonearm and stylus is properly inserted in cartridge.
  2. Protect stylus with stylus guard when dusting turntable.
  3. Regulate tonearm set-down to prevent stylus from striking edge of turntable or record.
  4. Do not handle tonearm while record is being played. Use cueing device if available.
  5. If manual set-down is necessary, release arm as soon as stylus engages groove.
  6. Do not activate arm without record(s) on turntable.
  7. Do not use damaged records.
  8. Follow turntable or tonearm instructions for antiskating force.
