Sony PS-LX2 - Replacing the Stylus; Stylus Replacement Procedure

REPLACING THE STYLUS
MAINTENANCE
The stylus will lose its effectiveness and begin to damage records
after about 400 hours of use.
An ND-5G replacement stylus for the VL-5 is available at your Sony
dealer.
Handle the stylus carefully as it is very delicate.
Install the replacement stylus as follows.
O Lower the sound level or turn the amplifier off.
© Secure the tonearm to the arm rest and separate the shell from
the tonearm by turning the locking collar in the direction of the ar¬
row.
Stylus
Before playing a record, clean the stylus with a soft brush. Brush
the stylus from back to front. Never attempt to clean the stylus
with your finger tip. If a fluid stylus cleaner is used, make sure not
to moisten the stylus too much.
Cabinet
Clean the cabinet and dust cover periodically with a soft dry
cloth. If the 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.
©Detach the stylus assembly by grasping it between the thumb
and forefinger and pulling gently in the direction of the arrow.
Rubber mat
When the rubber mat becomes dirty, wipe it gently with a soft cloth
slightly dampened with water.
Lubrication
The turntable requires no periodic lubrication. The motor shaft is
lubricated at the factory for the life of the turntable.
© Insert the new stylus into the cartridge.
© Plug the cartridge into the tonearm and turn the locking collar
counterclockwise until the shell is locked.
