@ Before detaching or attaching the headshell, be sure to turn the
power of the amplifier or receiver off.
Detaching or attaching of the headshell with the volume control
turned up may cause damage to the speakers.
Dust and dirt should be carefully removed from stylus tip or
records.
Dust and dirt on the stylus tip or record may not only result in
deterioration of tone quality, but also cause undue wear of the record
and the stylus tip itself.
Special stylus tip brushes and record cleaners can be purchased in
most electronic supply houses.
@ Wipe the headshell terminals from time to time.
Dust ard dirt at the headshell terminals may result in increased
“HUM” noise or intermittent sound. Use soft dry cloth to clean the
headshell terminals.
Wipe the dust cover and turntable base with a soft, dry cloth.
Never use any cleaners containing alcohol, benzine or thinner.
Use of a chemical dust cloth should also be avoided. Be sure that
the dust cover is not exposed to insecticide spray.
To remove stubborn finger prints or grease spots, detach the dust
cover and disconnect the AC power plug.
Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild soap and water
solution.
Do not wipe the dust cover during play, or the tonearm may be
attracted toward the dust cover due to the generation of static
electricity.
@ Replacement of stylus (For set with cartridge )
The unit is furnished with a diamond stylus.
The life of the styius differs depending on the conditions of use,
but it is recommended that you replace the stylus at the first sign of
wear. About 500 hours of use is an approximate standard.
The replacement stylus for the unit is the EPS-206ED.
1. Remove the headshell/cartridge from the tubular arm.
Hold the stylus assembly with your fingers and withdraw it slant-
wise, as shown in the picture. (See Fig. 22.)
2. Align the new stylus assembly with the square opening of the
cartridge main body, and push it into the opening positively as far
as it will go.
Lubrication
Apply 2 or 3 drops of oil once after every 2000 hours of operation.
The time interval is much longer than that for conventional type
motors (200—500 hours).
Please purchase original oil. (Part number is SF WO 010.)
