Maintenance
Cleaning the stylus:
(Refer to 8 on page 3)
If dust or grime builds up on the stylus tip, clean it using the included
stylus cleaning brush.
Always brush the stylus from rear to front (in the direction the record
spins).
Replacing the stylus
A worn stylus not only reduces sound quality, but may also damage
your records.
As a general guideline, we recommend replacing the stylus after
approximately 400 hours of use.
Before replacing the stylus:
ū Disconnect the AC adapter from the power outlet.
ū Hold the headshell and cartridge body firmly during removal and
installation.
To remove the old stylus:
(Refer to 9 on page 3)
Rotate the front of the stylus downward and forward to detach it.
Installing a new stylus:
(Refer to 10 on page 3)
Mount the replacement stylus onto the cartridge.
(Refer to 11 on page 3)
Gently lift the stylus until you hear a click.
(Refer to 12 on page 3)
Ensure there is no visible gap between the headshell and the cartridge.
Replacing the drive belt:
Over time, the drive belt may wear out or break. Replace it with a new
belt when needed.
There is a spare drive belt included with the unit.
To replace the drive belt:
1. Turn off the turntable and any connected audio devices.
2. Unplug the AC adaptor from the power outlet.
3. Remove the rubber mat from the platter.
(Refer to 13 on page 3)
4. Unhook the existing drive belt from the motor pulley.
Insert your fingers through the round holes in the platter to grip it, then
lift to remove the platter.
(Refer to 14 on page 3)
5. Turn the platter upside down and remove the old drive belt.
6. Fit the new drive belt around the inner rim of the platter, ensuring it
remains flat and untwisted.
To reassemble the unit, follow the steps in the "Assembling the
turntable" section.
