Notes about record styluses oo 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. oo If a stylus becomes dirty, use a commercially available stylus cleaner or similar product to clean it. Replacement stylus (sold separately): TN-280BT-A3: oo Audio-Technica ATN3600L TN-280BT-A: oo Audio-Technica ATN95E For stylus replacements, follow the replacement instructions in the manual of the replacement stylus. Replacing the stylus A record stylus will become worn down after it has been used for about 400 hours (TN-280BT-A3) or 300 hours (TN-280BT-A). This will worsen the sound quality and could damage records. Replace the stylus with one that we recommend before this occurs. ATTENTION oo Before replacing the stylus, turn this unit and the amplifier off. Failure to do so could cause sudden loud noises that might damage speakers. oo Be careful not to hurt your hand or the equipment. oo Be careful not to allow small children to accidentally swal- low styluses. oo Be aware that bent styluses, for example, that result from insufficient customer caution or an outside cause are not covered by the warranty. 2.0 ± 0.5 mm 9
