Maintenance
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 good sound quality and
avoid damage to your records, we recommend
replacing the stylus within this time limit.
For a replacement stylus, consult your nearest
Sony dealer.
To remove the stylus
