that secured the tone arm to the tone arm rest.

turntable starts automatically. Use the cue lever to gently lower the tone arm onto the record.

located at the upper right of the turntable. BEFORE PLAYING A RECORD, use a screwdriver to turn the
screw CLOCKWISE (DOWN!) completely.
Changing the stylus
The jeweled stylus that was installed in your turntable at the time of purchase should last for up to 300
hours of playback with 33 RPM albums or 45 RPM ‚singles'. Lf you are playing older 78 RPM records, which
are made from a much harder material, the stylus life expectancy will be reduced.
When the playback sound becomes distorted and unsatisfactory, first check to see if any dust or lint has ac-
cumulated on the stylus. If you see any visible foreign matter on the tip of the stylus, remove it very carefully
with a soft stylus-cleaning brush.
If there is no visible foreign matter on the stylus and the sound is still unsatisfactory the stylus is probably
worn and needs to be replaced. If you continue playing your re cords with a worn stylus you may eventually
cause damage to the records themselves.
• Lift the tone arm off the tone arm rest.
• At the front end of the tone arm, place the tip of your fingernail between the red stylus Holder and the
black cartridge housing as shown, and press down on the red stylus. Holder until it separates from the
cartridge housing.
• Completely remove the red stylus holder with worn stylus and discard it.
• Place the new red stylus holder with stylus under the cartridge housing. Press up ward on the back
side of the stylus holder first and then press up on the front edge of the stylus holder until it snaps into
place on the cartridge housing.
IMPORTANT: Avoid touching the tip of the stylus itself.
