information and follow the instructions presented in this manual. Please

Caution: To avoid stylus damage, make certain the included stylus

Warning: Important information if you intend to play 78 RPM/SP
records on this turntable
The cartridge stylus that is supplied with your LP120 turntable,
Audio-Technica's AT95E, while ideally matched for both 33 and 45
RPM material, is NOT suitable for playback of 78 RPM/SP material.
Using a cartridge stylus matched for 33 and 45 RPM records will
quickly damage a 78 RPM/SP record.
If you intend to playback 78 RPM/SP material on this turntable, we
recommend that you contact your regional Audio-Technica Customer
Services Dept. (or Authorised Importer's Customer Service Dept.)
for advice on selecting alternative Audio-Technica cartridges that are
optimised for the playback of 78 RPM/SP records and which can be
easily fitted to this turntable.
