Maintenance; Replacing The Stylus - Pioneer PL-L70 Operating Instructions Manual

MAINTENANCE
REPLACING THE STYLUS
® The service life of the stylus on the cartridge
supplied ranges from 800 to 1,000 hours.
(Hf the stylus is used for 1 or 2 hours every day, it
will last for one or two years.)
Using a worn or damaged stylus can damage the record and
distort the sound reproduced. Remember to replace the stylus
at the earliest possible date.
° Always use the PIONEER "PN-301" as the
replacement stylus.
The cartridge used in this turntable was developed by
PIONEER and so only the specially designed replacement
stylus can be used. It can be purchased at your PIONEER
dealer.
® Always obtain the genuine PIONEER replace-
ment stylus.
PIONEER is not able to safeguard against deterioration in per-
formance or possible mechanical trouble if a replacement
stylus of another make is used. A genuine PIONEER replace-
ment stylus always comes with the PIONEER mark. Check
that this mark is on the stylus before purchasing it.
1. Remove the stylus from the cartridge.
Hold the stylus holder and pull the stylus gently in the direc-
tion indicated by the arrow.
Selection sensor

stylus) to the cartridge.

MAINTAINING THE STYLUS
® Use a soft brush
Move the brush toward you to clear off the dust and dirt. Do
not use your finger since this will damage the stylus.
e When the dirt cannot be removed by a brush
Obtain some stylus cleaner from your dealer and remove. Do
not allow any of the liquid to come into contact with the
plastic parts as they may dissolve.
CONDENSATION
When this turntable is brought into a warm room from
previously cold surroundings or when the room temperature
rises sharply, condensation may form inside and the unit may
not do full justice to its performance. in cases like this, allow
the unit to stand for about an hour or raise the room
temperature gradually.
