TL53Z User's Manual

• If the batteries leak, use a cloth to wipe away the liquid inside the battery compart-

ment and replace the batteries with new ones.

• Do not heat or disassemble batteries, and never dispose of old batteries by throwing 

them in a fire. Dispose of batteries following laws in the local area.

• Should you ever open the CD Door without press the STOP button, do not touch 

the stabilizer and the disc until the turntable has stopped spinning completely. 
Touch them while they are still spinning may cause stress on the spinning mecha-
nism and lead to malfunction.

• Discs tend to adhere to the stabilizer when removing the latter from the turntable. 

Make sure you do not drop the disc by accident.

• To prevent vibrations from the surroundings and maximize the sound quality and 

performance, this unit should be set on an audio rack or a firm board. 

• Belt and Spindle Replacement
The TL53Z uses a belt drive mechanism. The belt will gradually deteriorate over 

time. Possible symptoms resulting from this are; failure to read TOC, sound skip

-

ping, etc. You will need to have the belt replaced in such cases. We recommend 
replacing the belt at least once every 5 years. Please contact your dealer or an autho-
rized CEC service center.
Likewise, the spindle will also gradually deteriorate over time. We recommend an 
overhaul at least once every 10 years.
