sound quality, replace the stylus before it is completely
worn out. To remove the stylus from the cartridge, hold
the cartridge unit With one hand and simply pull out the
stylus holder toward the stylus tip with the fingers of the
other hand. To mount a new stylus, reverse the above
procedures. For replacement, PN-50 is recommended.
