MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE HEAD SECTION
The heads, capstan and pinch roller are parts which are liable to get
dirty quite easily. In particular, if the heads are dirty, the high frequency
components of the sound will not be reproduced and the stereo balance
will be impaired, resulting in a deterioration in sound quality. It is
therefore recommended that the head section be cleaned regularly.
e Press EJECT switch to open the cassette door.
© Dip a cleaning swab into head cleaning fluid and use it to wipe the
heads, capstan, and pinch roller. Be careful the cleaning swab doesn't
become entangled. Wait 2—3 minutes till cleaning fluid dries.
Capstan
DEMAGNETIZING THE HEAD
The recording/playback head becomes magnetized when you use the
tape deck for prolonged periods of time. This results in noise being
generated and the treble dropping off during recording and playback.
The recording/playback head should therefore be demagnetized regularly
with a commonly sold head demagnetizer.
For further details, refer to the operating instructions accompanying your
head demagnetizer.
NOTE:
© Do not hold screwdriver, metal objects or magnets close to the heads.
© When demagnetizing the heads, be sure the unit's POWER switch
is in the STANDBY position.
CLEANING THE UNIT
Wipe the front panel and the cassette door when dusty or greasy with
a soft cloth containing a small amount of ordinary clean up liquid. Then
wipe dry with a cloth. Never use volatile spirits like thinners, benzine
or alcohol, as they will damage the panel's finish.
REPLACING THE STYLUS
1. Remove the stylus gently.
2. Attach the new stylus to the cartridge.

Stylus
NOTE:
© The service life of the stylus on the supplied cartridge ranges from
800 to 1,000 hours. (After about one year if you play records, about
two hours everyday. However, the stylus may need to be replaced
earlier depending on the way it is used.)
© Using a worn or damaged stylus can damage your records and distort
the sound reproduction. Remember to replace the stylus at the earliest
possible date.
® Always use the PIONEER "PN-210" as a replacement stylus.
¢ Always ask for a genuine PIONEER replacement stylus.
PRECAUTION:
If the turntable is mounted directly on or against a speaker, the vibration
from the speaker will be transported to the tonearm's cartridge, thus
causing
feedback
howling.
Be sure
that speakers
are
mounted
sufficiently isolated from the turntable.
ADJUSTING
THE STYLUS
DESCENT
POSITION
(PL-Z560 only)
Proceed as follows when the stylus does not descend at the proper
position
on
the
record
during
auto
play. While
performing
the
adjustment, take care not to scratch the record with the stylus.
1. Place a 30-cm record on the platter.
2. Push PLAY/STOP switch to start auto play.
¢ Check the direction and amount of stylus deviation (how many
millimeters towards the inside or outside of the record's lead-in-
groove).
3. Push PLAY/STOP switch to return the tonearm to the arm rest.
4. Set ARM-ELEVATION switch to UP position and manually move
the tonearm across the outside edge of the record.
5. Rotate the screw with a small screwdriver in accordance with the
direction of the deviation observed in step 2.

¢ Rotate the screw clockwise if the stylus descends on the outside
of the proper position.
¢ Rotate the screw counterclockwise if the stylus descends on the
inside of the proper position.
6. Manually
return the tonearm
to the arm
rest and set ARM-
ELEVATION switch to DOWN position.
7. Push PLAY/STOP switch and check that the stylus stops at the
lead-in groove on the outer circumference of the record. If the
position is still not correct, repeat steps 2 to 6.
