CARTRIDGE INSTALLATION

1. Carefully remove the stylus from the cartridge @.

2. Connect the wires from the headshell to the pins
on the cartridge Q). Use the folloWing table for the
correct connections. Note: To prevent ground loops"
and hum, do not make common (ground) connec-
tions at these terminals.

3. Mount cartridge In the headshell and replace stylus
(® and ®). Do not torce. Note: screws can be
threaded up from the bottom to proVide maximum
record clearance.

4. When the Dynamic Stabilizer brush is set to the op-
erating position @A, it absorbs 0.5 grams of tonearm

tracking force. The proper tonearm settings for the
recommended range of stylus tip tracking forces are:

DYNAMIC STABILIZERIDE-STATICIZER

A]

The M97xEs exclusive viscous-damped Dynamic
Stabilizer ® maintains a unitorm distance between
the cartridge and the record under difficult playing
conditions, such as those caused by warped records
or mismatched tonearm mass. When such stabilization
is not required, the stabilizer can be locked into its up
position, which can improve sound quality under ideal
playing conditions.

Over 10,000 conductive fibers in the stabilizer brush
neutralize static charges on the record surface and
conduct them to the ground. Additionally, the fibers
sweep the record groove clean of dust and din in front of
the stylus tip. The Stabilizer also absorbs impact to pre-
vent record or stylus damage if the arm is accidentally
dropped on a record.

SIDE GUARD STYLUS PROTECTION SYSTEM
The Side-Guard stylus protection system helps prevent
stylus damage if the cartridge accidentally slides across
a record. This system responds to side thrusts on the
stylus by withdrawing the entire stylus cantilever and tip
safely into the stylus housing before the cantilever can
be damaged.

MONOPHONIC PLAYBACK
For monophonic playback of recordings, the lefl and right channels should be connected in parallel. This is ac-
complished most conveniently by setting the function sWitch on the associated preamplifier to A + B" or MONO." If
the existing equipment has a single monophonic input, the two channels of the cartridge should be paralleled and
connected to this single input.

CARTRIDGE OPERATION

1. Make certain cartridge is correctly mounted in tone-
arm and stylus is properly inserted in cartridge.
Protect stylus with stylus guard when dusting turntable

. Regulate tonearm set-down to prevent stylus trom
striking edge of turntable or record.

4. Do not handle tonearm while record is being played.

Use cueing deVice if available.

5. If manual set-down is necessary, release arm as
soon as stylus engages groove.

. Do not activate arm without record(s) on turntable.

. Do not use damaged records.

. Check tracking force and anti-skate adjustments pe-
riodically. The Shure SFG-Z Tracking Force Gauge,
available through your Shure dealer, proVides a
simple way to accurately set tracking force.

STYLUS CLEANING

staEi ize Ems! on yIrom Eac! to Iront, as sEown 5. Bo

not use liquids on the stabilizer brush. Use alcohol or an
alcohol-distilled water solution to clean the stylus. Com-
mercial cleaning solutions may damage the stylus.
