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.
o 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.
o Do not open or close it when a record is playing.
Doing so could, for example, cause the stylus to skip.
o Keep it closed whenever possible to keep dust out.
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.
V Be careful not to pinch your fingers, for
example, when opening and closing the
dust cover.

Notes about record styluses
o 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.
o 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 commercially-
available 2M Red replacement stylus.
o Follow the replacement instructions in the manual of the
replacement stylus.
ATTENTION
o Since loud noises could suddenly occur, put the unit into
standby before changing the stylus.
o Be careful not to hurt your hand or the equipment.
o Be careful not to allow small children to accidentally swal-
low styluses.
o Be aware that bent styluses, for example, that result from
insufficient customer caution or an outside cause are not
covered by the warranty.
Changing the cartridge
