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 ( ) on the front of the stylus assembly and on the packaging.
