Replacing The Stylus - Audio-Technica AT-LP3 Manual De Usuario

Playing a record
Stopping the record
Once the record has been played until the end, the tonearm automatically
returns to the tonearm rest.
To manually stop the record, do the following.
1. Lower the volume of the amplifier, speakers, etc.
sufficiently.
2. Press the STOP button.
Once the record stops playing, the tonearm automatically returns to the tonearm
•
rest.
3. Remove the record after the platter has come to a
complete stop.
When the tonearm reaches the end (center) of the record, it will automatically
•
lift and return to the tonearm rest. Do not interfere with its motion. Doing so can
cause the product to malfunction. If the tonearm does not lift and return to the
tonearm rest, press the STOP button to complete this operation.
If the rubber mat gets dirty, it can easily scratch the record, so remove the
•
rubber mat periodically and wipe off any dust.
To prevent the record from scratches and warping, remove it after use.
•
Do not use a disk stabilizer.
•
Do not use a platter other than the one provided.
•
This product is not intended for DJs. Do not touch the record or the platter while
•
the record is playing.
Care
Turntable body
When the turntable body is dirty or dusty, first disconnect the power cable
•
plug, and then wipe off the dirt and dust with a soft, dry cloth.
Do not use benzenes, thinners, etc.
•
When storing the product for a long time, disconnect the power cable plug
•
from the outlet and wrap the equipment in plastic; do not allow it to become
damp.
Stylus tip
If dirt and grime are stuck to the stylus tip, clean it with a commercially sold
•
brush.
We recommend using a stylus cleaner (sold separately) if the stylus tip is
•
considerably dirty. Clean the stylus tip by moving the brush from the rear to
the front of the stylus tip.
