How to Replace the Turntable Stylus
(Replacement Needle # ITNP-LC1)
The stylus should last about 50 hours under normal use. However, it is recommenced that the stylus
be replaced as soon as you notice a change in sound quality. Prolonged use of a worn-out stylus
may damage the record. The highest speed of 78 RPM records would wear
out the stylus more quickly.
Removing the old stylus:
1. Set a screwdriver at the tip of the stylus and push downward (A).
2. Remove the stylus by pulling it simultaneously downward and forward.
Installing a new stylus:
1. Hold the front tip of the stylus and insert its rear edge (B) first.
2. Push the stylus upwards (C) until the tip locks into place.
Caution
:
!
Do not bend the stylus.
!
Do not touch the needle to avoid injury your hand.
