Replacing a cartridge
Refer to the user manual for the cartridge that you will be using if you
are replacing the cartridge included with this product with another,
commercially available cartridge. After you replace the old cartridge
with a new one, you must readjust the overhang and the tonearm’s
balance and tracking force.
1. Release the headshell from the tonearm.
• Use the clamp to secure the tonearm and then remove the headshell
gently.
2. Remove the stylus from the cartridge.
• Refer to “Removing the stylus” on p. 9.
3. Remove the lead tips.
• Be careful not to damage the lead tips.
4. Using a commercially sold, non-metallic slotted screwdriver,
remove the installation screws, and then remove the cartridge
from the headshell.
5. Refer to the user manual for the new cartridge for mounting
instructions and connecting to the lead tips.
6. Using a commercially sold, non-metallic slotted screwdriver,
tighten the screws in both places, and then adjust the overhang.
• Refer to "Adjusting the overhang" on p. 11.
• After the adjustments are complete, tighten the screws securely.
7. Attach the headshell to the tone arm.
8. Adjust the tonearm's height.
• Refer to “Adjusting the tonearm's height” while doing the adjustments.
9. Adjust the tonearm balance and tracking force.
• Refer to “Tonearm balance and tracking force” from p. 6.
Replacing the belt
• The belt is a consumable part. Replace the belt if the speed of
playback slows down or irregular rotation occurs. As a rule of thumb,
we suggest replacing the belt once a year.
• Before replacing the belt, be sure to disconnect the product’s power
cable plug from the outlet.
1. Remove the old belt.
2. Attach the new belt to the platter first, and then attach it to the
motor pulley.
• When attaching the belt to the motor pulley, make sure that the belt does
not get twisted.
