Replacing the Cartridge
When it is necessary to replace the cartridge, detach the
headshell from the tonearm and follow the directions
below.

headshell.

pair of pinchers.
Then detach the cartridge completely from the
headshell.

on the new cartridge and connect the wires to
them accordingly.
The polarity of the wires on the supplied headshell
are as follows:

Maintenance
Stylus and Record Care
To prevent premature stylus and record wear, clean
the stylus and record before the start of play.
Clean the stylus by brushing it from back to front with
a good-quality stylus-cleaning brush. Do not clean the
stylus with your fingertip. If you use a liquid stylus
cleaner, take care not to moisten the stylus excessively.
Clean the record by wiping it thoroughly with a good-
quality record cleaner.
Cleaning the Shell Terminals
If you notice a drop in sound quality, excessive noise,
or hum, this may be a result of incomplete contact
caused by dust or dirt on the shell terminals. Remove
the shell from the tonearm and wipe the terminals
lightly with a soft cloth, and then reattach the shell to
the tonearm.
Cleaning the Turntables and the Mixer
Clean the cabinet and dust cover of the turntables and
the cabinet and panel of the mixer periodically with a
soft dry cloth. Moisten the cloth with a mild detergent
solution to clean difficult-to-remove stains. Do not use
solvents such as alcohol, benzine or thinner, as this will
damage the finish.
Replacing the Stylus
The life expectancy of the stylus tip is about 500 hours.
To maintain optimum sound quality and prevent
damage to your records, we recommend replacing the
stylus before the end of this time duration.
Obtain a replacement stylus (D5107AL) from your
Sony dealer.
