Thank you for purchasing the DENON
100th anniversary DL-A100 cartridge.
This cartridge is developed by precisely
reproducing the original engineering
reference model of the high-performance
Japanese standard cartridge DL-103 and
using the latest tuning technologies.
DENON (then Nippon Columbia Co., Ltd.)
developed DL-103 jointly with NHK Science
& Technical Research Laboratories to
produce “highly reliable high-performance
cartridges for stereo record broadcasting”
in 1964. Since its launch, DL-103 has
consistently been used as the standard
cartridge not only in NHK FM broadcasting
but also by many audio and music fans.
The DENON 100th anniversary DL-A100
cartridge is carefully manufactured one
by one just as DL-103 has been since its
launch. We hope you enjoy using a cartridge
that inherits the time-proven reliability of
DL-103.

Cautions on handling
• The Stylus is very delicate. Applying
excessive force to the stylus, such as
pressing with a finger can break it. Handle
the cartridge with the utmost care.
• A powerful magnet is used in the
cartridge. Note that carelessly bringing a
steel screwdriver or other such item near
the cartridge will result in it being attracted
by the magnet and may result in damage
to the stylus, so care must be taken.
• Be sure to use the stylus cover when
mounting the cartridge in the head shell,
or when otherwise handling the cartridge.

Mounting to the head shell
• To protect the stylus, be sure to mount the stylus cover when
performing this procedure.
• Adjust to the stylus position specified for the turntable system you
are using and mount properly without tilting or turning it.
Stylus position
• When adjusting the stylus position,
use the provided stylus position
adjustment gauge.
• Two types of screws are provided
with the cartridge. Use the screws
of the length suitable for your shell.
• The layout of the output terminals is as shown on the diagram below.
Be sure to connect properly.

NOTE
When connecting the cartridge, be sure to use the tipped leads and
press them onto the terminals. Applying heat to the output terminals
of the cartridge, such as in direct soldering, will cause internal damage
to the cartridge, such as wire breakage.
Tracking force adjustment
Tracking force in the range of 25 mN ±3 mN (2.5 g ±0.3 g) should be
used.
Output voltage
The output voltage is 0.3 mV. If your amplifier does not support
the MC cartridge input, use a step-up transformer or head amplifier
designed for MC type cartridges.
Stylus cleaning
Use the included brush to carefully remove any dirt from the tip of the
stylus before and after playing records.
