Notes about record styluses
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
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.
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.
When detaching a record stylus (the orange part), hold
the cartridge and pull the record stylus in the A direc-
tion to remove it.
A
When installing a new stylus, insert it in the B direc-
tion, pushing it in so that its clasp is aligned with the
cartridge.
B
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.
