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 clean your records, wipe thoroughly using a good quality record cleaner.
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.
