Cleaning the record player
Electric shock!
To avoid the danger of an electric shock, you must not
clean the unit with a wet cloth or under running water.
CAUTION!
Do not use any scrubbing sponges, cleaning powder or
solvents such as alcohol and petrol. To clean the unit and
the records, only use cleaning agents that are specifically
designed for the purpose (antistatic). These are available
in specialist shops.
è
Clean the housing with a soft cloth moistened with
water.
Cleaning the stylus and the record
Always clean the stylus and record before playback to
prevent premature wear.
è
Use a cleaning brush to wipe from back to front over
the stylus.
è
To clean a record, use a record cloth to wipe lightly
and diagonally over the record.
Replacing the stylus
The stylus is naturally exposed to wear by the playback
process. Therefore we recommend regular inspection,
which for diamond styluses should take place after
approx. 500-1000 playing hours.
Note:
Worn or damaged (splintered) styluses ruin records.
When you need to replace a stylus, use the original type
if possible (AT3600).
è
Remove the stylus by pulling diagonally downwards.
è
Insert the stylus by doing the reverse of this.
