tone arm.

5 Balance the tone arm and adjust the sty-
lus pressure.
Follow the procedures in “Balancing the tone arm and
adjusting the stylus pressure” on page 5.
Notes about record styluses
o If the stylus becomes bent (damaged), it will no longer
be able to accurately trace the groove. Since a bent stylus
could also damage records and cause malfunction, handle
styluses carefully.
o Always use a commercially-available stylus cleaner to clean
a stylus. Use of anything other than a stylus cleaner could
damage the stylus.
Replacing the stylus
If the tip of the stylus becomes worn, not only will it worsen
the sound quality, it could also damage records. After about
300 hours of playback time, replace the stylus with one that
we specify.
Please use an Audio-Technica ATN95E replacement stylus.
o An Audio-Technica AT95E VM Type cartridge is installed in
this unit.
NOTE
VM type cartridges have the same characteristics as MM
type cartridges.
o Follow the replacement instructions in the manual of the
replacement stylus.
CAUTION
o Since loud noises could suddenly occur, put the unit into
standby before changing the stylus.
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.
