Additional Information Maintenance Stylus and Record Care In order to prevent premature stylus and record wear, the stylus and record should be cleaned before playback. To clean the stylus, brush it from back to front using a good quality stylus cleaning brush. Do not clean the stylus with your finger tip. When using a fluid stylus cleaner, make sure not to moisten the stylus too much. To replace the stylus 1 Turn off the turntable and amplifier. 2 Turn the locking collar and remove the cartridge from the tone arm. 3 Grasp the stylus holder and pull it away from the body of the cartridge in the slanting direction. 4 Insert the new stylus by pushing it into the cartridge receptacle in the slanting direction until it clicks. To clean your records, wipe thoroughly using a good quality record cleaner. Cleaning the Shell Terminals If you notice a drop in sound quality, excessive noise, or hum, this may be a result of incomplete contact due dust or dirt on the shell terminals. Remove the shell from the tone arm and wipe the terminals lightly with a soft cloth, and reattach the shell to the tone arm. Replacing the Cartridge If you find it necessary to replace the cartridge detach the headshell from the tone arm and follow the directions below. 1 Remove the screws holding the cartridge to the headshell. 2 Detach the four lead wires from the cartridge by pulling on the lead terminals with a small pair of pliers (etc.). The cartridge should now be completely detached from the headshell. Shell terminals Cleaning the Cabinet and Dust Cover Clean the cabinet and dust cover periodically using a soft dry cloth. If stains are difficult to remove, use a cloth moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use solvents such as alcohol, benzine or thinner, since they will damage the finish. Replacing the Stylus The life expectancy of the stylus tip is about 500 hours. To preserve maximum sound quality and avoid damage to your records, we recommend replacing the stylus within this time limit. Additional replacement styli (ATN3600LX) are available from your Sony dealer. 3 Check the location and polarity of each of the terminal pins on the new cartridge and connect the lead wires accordingly. The terminal polarity of the lead wires on the accessory headshell are shown below. Red: White: Green: Blue: Right channel Left channel Right channel earth Left channel earth Be careful not to mix the polarities. 8
