Dust cover Attaching the dust cover Dust cover Main unit Hinge 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.

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. Opening and closing the dust cover 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. 8 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 1000 hours of playback time, replace the stylus with one that we specify. The cartridge installed in the product is an Ortofon 2M Red MM-type cartridge. When used normally, the 2M Red stylus should be replaced about every 1000 hours. Please purchase a commerciallyavailable 2M Red 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 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.
