Manual Operation

Caution: When the tone arm reaches the end of the record, it will lift and return to the tone arm rest automatically. When this happens, do not interfere with the tone arm’s motion, or damage to the mechanism may occur.

If the tone arm does not return automatically to the tone arm rest after the record has finished playing, simply press the STOP button to complete operation.

Manual Operation

1.Remove the stylus guard from the stylus assembly (Fig. 4).

2.Put a record on the turntable. If needed, use the 45 RPM adapter (Fig. 5).

3.Select the size of record: 12" or 7" (Fig. 6).

4.Select the speed: 331/3 PRM or 45 RPM (Fig. 7).

5.Press the Lift button IN to raise the tone arm (Fig. 8c).

3.Gently move the tone arm so the stylus is over the point on the record where play is desired to begin.

Replacing the Stylus

While holding the head of the tone arm, rotate the front of the stylus assembly in a forward and down motion to remove it (Fig. 9). (As you remove the old assembly, note its position and “feel,” to aid in properly installing the new one.)

Install the new stylus assembly as shown in Figures 10a/10b, being careful not to touch the actual stylus. Make certain that the projection at the back of the assembly is fully seated in the cartridge body first (Fig. 10a), and that the assembly “clicks” up into place, with no gap between its top edge and the front of the black plastic tone arm head (Fig. 10b). Replace the stylus after 400 hours of use.

To maintain original performance, insist upon a genuine Audio-Technica brand replacement stylus. Look for the Audio-Technica trademark ( Replacing the Stylus) on the front of the stylus assembly and on the packaging.
