ENGLISH Attaching the dust cover Dust cover Main unit Dust cover Opening and closing the dust cover Hinge Open 1 Insert the hinges completely into the hinge holders at the left and right ends of the back of the main unit. 2 Align the tops of the hinges with the dust cover hinge holders and insert them. oo Close the dust cover during playback. Since doing this prevents skipping caused by unintended contact and blocks external sound pressure, it makes noise less likely to occur. oo Do not open or close it when a record is playing. Doing so could, for example, cause the stylus to skip. oo Keep it closed whenever possible to keep dust out. Opening Hold the front edge of the dust cover and gently lift it open completely until it stops. The dust cover will stay open in this position. Closing Gently lower the dust cover until it is closed. VV Be careful not to pinch your fingers, for example, when opening and closing the dust cover. Removing the dust cover Hold both edges of the dust cover and lift it slowly to remove it along with the hinges from the unit. Then, remove the hinges from the dust cover. Changing the cartridge To change the cartridge, first remove the headshell from the tone arm. oo A Sumiko Oyster MM type cartridge is installed in the unit. oo When using an Oyster, always remove the cartridge stylus before detaching the cartridge itself from the head shell and before attaching the cartridge to the head shell. Pull the stylus knob down at a slight angle from the front of the cartridge to remove the cartridge stylus. Be careful not to touch the cantilever or stylus itself.
