Notes About Record Styluses; Recording With A Computer (Tn-100 Only) - Teac TN-100 Owner's Manual

Notes about record styluses

o Record styluses are precision parts, so handle them carefully
to avoid bending or damaging their tips. If a stylus becomes
bent or damaged, it might not be able to follow the audio
groove precisely and could damage records or cause other
malfunction.
o If a stylus becomes dirty, use a commercially available stylus
cleaner or similar product to clean it.
Replacing the stylus
A record stylus will become worn down after it has been used
for about 500 hours. This will worsen the sound quality and
could damage records. Replace the stylus with one that we
recommend before this occurs.
ATTENTION
o Before replacing the stylus, turn this unit and the amplifier
off. Failure to do so could cause sudden loud noises that
might damage speakers.
o Be careful not to hurt your hand or the equipment.
o Be careful not to allow small children to accidentally swallow
styluses.
o Be aware that bent styluses, for example, that result from
insufficient customer caution or an outside cause are not
covered by the warranty.
