MAINTENANCE

LIFE OF A STYLUS

A diamond stylus is used in most cartridges.
It is normally good for 500 hours for LP records on
one side. but this varies greatly depending on how
it is used.

A worn stylus will cause treble tones to increase
in harshness. To prevent excessive record wear. a
stylus should be replaced as soon as this becomes
noticeable.

HOW TO REPLACE THE STYLUS

N-47 is the designation of the replacement
stylus for that used in the V47 cartridge.

Replacement stylus may be obtained from the
dealer from whom you purchased this turntable.

You. can replace the stylus easily as shown
below.

cloth or silicone cloth. In case they are badly
dirtied, wipe them with a well wrung cloth that has
been wetted in soapsuds.

volatile liquids.

PERIODICAL CHECK-UP

Generally, machines operated over long periods
without proper care and maintenance may develop
trouble due to poor lubrication, wear. deterioration
or the like. To ensure a long service life and stable
operation. periodical check-up at an interval of two
years or so, if possible, is recommended even if the
equipment appears to be working normally.

Please have such a periodical check-up made
through the dealer.
