RECOMMENDATION

advisable:
• To lock the pick-up arm on its rest by
swinging the pick-up arm lock 0 over it.
• To replace the stylus protection cover (Rg.

MAINTENANCE
The mechanism of the player has self-
lubricating bearings and must not be lubricated.
If necessary, the cabinet and the turntable mat
can be cleaned with a chamois leather slightly
moistened with water. Do not use cleaning
agents.
The stylus is kept clean with a soft brush, if
necessary moistened with some pure alcohol
or cleaning spirit. Always strike the brush over
the stylus in a direction moving from rear to
front of the cartridge.
REPLACING THE STYLUS UNIT (Fig. 3)
Depending on the state of your records, you
may count on a lifetime of between 1000-1500
hours. To be quite sure of avoiding damage,
however, and to know in good time when the
stylus should be replaced, it is advisable to
have the stylus checked by your dealer once a
year.
• Firmly hold the pick-up arm with one hand
and carefully pull off the stylus carrier with
the other.
• Continue to hold the pick-up arm and slide
the new stylus carrier on until it comes to a
stop.
ADJUSTING THE DUST COVER HINGES
(Fig. 4)
As the dust cover is fitted with friction hinges, it
can remain open in almost any position. If the
friction effect decreases, it can be increased
again by tightening the adjustment screws of
the hinges a little. Do not tighten them too
much, however, otherwise excessive force will
have to be exerted on the cover. Do not
lubricate the hinges.
