NTI-SKA 0 ATTENTION Depending on the condition of a record, the left-right volume balance could become uneven and skipping could occur. In such cases, try making the following adjustments. If the sound jumps backward (stylus skips backward) Slightly lower the anti-skating dial setting. If the sound jumps forward (stylus skips forward) Slightly increase the anti-skating dial setting. TING Notes about record styluses oo If the stylus becomes bent (damaged), it will no longer be able to accurately trace the groove. Since a bent stylus could also damage records and cause malfunction, handle styluses carefully. oo Always use a commercially-available stylus cleaner to clean a stylus. Use of anything other than a stylus cleaner could damage the stylus. Replacing the stylus If the tip of the stylus becomes worn, not only will it worsen the sound quality, it could also damage records. After about 300 hours of playback time, replace the stylus with one that we specify. Please use a Sumiko Oyster replacement stylus. oo Follow the replacement instructions in the manual of the replacement stylus. ATTENTION oo Since loud noises could suddenly occur, put the unit into standby before changing the stylus. oo Be careful not to hurt your hand or the equipment. oo Be careful not to allow small children to accidentally swallow 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. AN 0 3 NG TI-SKATI oo Remove the protective cap from the cartridge stylus before adjusting. oo Be careful not to let the cartridge stylus touch the unit. 15
