Notes about record styluses

o Record styluses are precision parts, so handle them care-
fully to avoid bending or damaging their tips. If a stylus
becomes bent or damaged, it might not be able to follow
the audio groove precisely and could damage records or
cause other malfunction.
o If a stylus becomes dirty, use a commercially available
stylus cleaner or similar product to clean it.

Replacing the stylus

A record stylus will become worn down after it has been used
for about 500 hours. This will worsen the sound quality and
could damage records. Replace the stylus with one that we
recommend before this occurs.
ATTENTION
o Before replacing the stylus, turn this unit and the amplifier
off. Failure to do so could cause sudden loud noises that
might damage speakers.
o Be careful not to hurt your hand or the equipment.
o Be careful not to allow small children to accidentally swal-
low styluses.
o Be aware that bent styluses, for example, that result from
insufficient customer caution or an outside cause are not
covered by the warranty.
When detaching a record stylus (the orange part), hold the
