MAINTENANCE

REPLACING

THE

STYLUS

The

life

of

the

stylus

which

comes

with

the

supplied

cartridge

is

800

to

1,000

hours.

(As

a

rough

guide,

if

the

turntable

is

used

for

1

to

2

hours

every

day,

the

stylus

should

last

1

to

2

years.)

If

the

life

of

the

stylus

is

exceeded,

or

use

is

made

of

a

damaged

stylus,

the

record

may

be

damaged,

and

the

playback

sound

may

be

distorted.

Please

take

care

to

replace

the

stylus

ahead

of

time.

gFor

the

replacement

stylus,

make

sure

to

purchase

and

use

a

Pioneer

PN-295T.

The

cartridge

installed

in

the

turntable,

is

a

unit

which

was

developed

by

Pioneer.

For

this

reason,

use can

only

be

made

of

the

special

replacement

stylus,

so

please

purchase

the

required

stylus

from

a

shop

dealing

in

Pioneer

products.

mFor

the

replacement

stylus,

make

sure

that

you

use

a

stylus

that

is

a

genuine

Pioneer

product.

If

you

use

a

replacement

stylus

that

is

manufac-

tured

by

any

other

company,

there

can

be

no

guarantee

with

respect

to

degradation

of

per-

formance

or

breakdown,

so

please

make

sure

to

use

the

specified

Pioneer

stylus.

Genuine

Pioneer

styluses

are

marked

with

the

®pioneer

mark,

so

cleaner.

If

use

is

made

of

a

dry

type

cleaner

(velvet

or

nylon

brush

etc.),

this

can

which

can

result

in

occurrence

of

noise.

We

recommend

the

use

of

damp

type

cleaners

10

<PRB-309>

CARE

a

soft

brush

Remove

dust

and

lint

from

the

point

of

the

stylus

by

moving

the

brush

in

the

direction.

Attempting

to

remove

dust

with

Spillage

of

the

cleaning

fluid

onto

plastic

parts

or

onto

the

rubber

of

the

stylus

damper,

may

soften

or

dissolve

these

parts

and

result

in

degradation

of

performance,

so

please

use

the

cleaning

fluid

with

care.

CONDENSATION

When

the

turntable

is

brought

into

a

warm

room

suddenly

increased,

conden-

sation

may

form

inside

and

the

turntable

may

not

be

able

to

attain

its

full

performance.

In

cases

like

this,

use

the

turntable

after

allowing

it

to

stand

for

about

an

hour

or

after

raising

the

room
