Replacing the stylus
o
Record styluses are precision parts, so handle them
carefully 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 avail-
able stylus cleaner or similar product to clean it.
o
Do not rub the stylus tip forcefully with anything
hard. Do not wipe the stylus with thinner or other
chemicals. Doing so could harm it.
Replacing the stylus
Using a record stylus wears it down, which could cause
the sound quality to worsen and possibly damage
records. Replace the stylus with a replacement stylus
specified by TEAC as early as possible. In general, you
should replace a sapphire stylus for LP and EP records
after about 50 hours of use and a diamond stylus for SP
records after about every 100 hours.
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
swallow styluses.
