Replacing the Stylus
While holding the head of the tone arm, rotate the front of the stylus
assembly in a forward and down motion to remove it (Fig. 9). (As
you remove the old assembly, note its position and “feel,” to aid in
properly installing the new one.)
Install the new stylus assembly as shown in Figures 10a/10b, being
careful not to touch the actual stylus. Make certain that the projection
at the back of the assembly is fully seated in the cartridge body
first
(Fig. 10a), and that the assembly “clicks” up into place, with no gap
between its top edge and the front of the black plastic tone arm head
(Fig. 10b). Replace the stylus after 400 hours of use.
To maintain original performance, insist upon a genuine Audio-Technica
brand replacement stylus. Look for the Audio-Technica trademark ( )
on the front of the stylus assembly and on the packaging.

Caution:
When the tone arm reaches the end of the record, it
will lift and return to the tone arm rest automatically. When this
happens,

damage to the mechanism may occur.
If the tone arm does not return automatically to the tone arm
rest after the record has finished playing, simply press the STOP
button to complete operation.
