Replacing the stylus
ooRecord styluses are precision parts, so handle them carefully to avoid bending or damaging their tips. If a stylus becomes bent or damaged, it might not be able to follow the audio groove precisely and could damage records or cause other malfunction.
ooIf a stylus becomes dirty, use a commercially available stylus cleaner or similar product to clean it.
ooDo not rub the stylus tip forcefully with anything hard. Do not wipe the stylus with thinner or other chemicals. Doing so could harm it.
Replacing the stylus
Using a record stylus wears it down, which could cause the sound quality to worsen and possibly damage records. Replace the stylus with a replacement stylus specified by TEAC as early as possible. In general, you should replace a sapphire stylus for LP and EP records after about 50 hours of use and a diamond stylus for SP records after about every 100 hours.
CAUTION
ooSince loud noises could suddenly occur, put the unit into standby before changing the stylus.
ooBe careful not to hurt your hand or the equipment. ooBe careful not to allow small children to accidentally
swallow styluses.
