Before use (continued) Precautions for use ooDo not place anything on the turntable cover. Objects on the cover might cause noise due to vibrations or fall off, especially during playback. ooAvoid placing the unit in direct sunlight, close to a source of heat or in other similar conditions. Do not place the unit on top of an amplifier or other equipment that might generate heat that exceeds the operating temperature range of this unit. Doing so could cause discoloration, deformation or malfunction. ooAs the unit could become warm during operation, always leave sufficient space around it for ventilation. When installing this unit, leave a little space (at least 20 cm (8")) between it and other devices and walls to allow good heat dissipation. When placing it in a rack, for example, leave at least 35 cm (13 3/4") open above it and 10 cm (4") open behind it. Failure to provide these gaps could cause heat to build up inside and result in fire. ooDO NOT MOVE THE UNIT DURING PLAYBACK. During playback, the record rotates. Do not lift or move the unit during playback. Doing so may damage the record, the stylus, the cartridge or the unit. ooAlways remove the record before relocating or moving this unit. Moving the unit with a record on the turntable could damage the record, the stylus and the cartridge or could cause a malfunction. ooThe voltage supplied to the unit should match the voltage as printed on the rear panel. If you are in any doubt regarding this matter, consult an electrician. Maintenance If the surface of the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth or use diluted mild liquid soap. Allow the surface of the unit to dry completely before using. ooDo not use chemical cleaning cloths, thinner or similar substances as they could damage the surface of the unit. VV CAUTION For safety, disconnect the power cord from the socket before cleaning.

Notes about record styluses ooRecord 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. ooIf a stylus becomes dirty, use a commercially available stylus cleaner or similar product to clean it. ooDo 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 A record stylus will become worn down after it has been used for about 500 hours. This will worsen the sound quality and could damage records. Replace the stylus with one that we recommend before this occurs. When detaching a record stylus (the red part), hold the cartridge and pull the record stylus in the A direction to remove it. A When installing a new stylus, insert it in the B direction, pushing it in so that its clasp is aligned with the cartridge. B CAUTION ooSince loud noises could suddenly occur, put the unit into standby before changing the stylus. ooBe careful not to hurt your hand or the equipment. ooBe careful not to allow small children to accidentally swallow styluses. Replacement stylus (sold separately): STL-122 diamond stylus (includes 2) For stylus replacements, contact your dealer or TEAC listed on the back of this Owner's manual. 4
