Care
Keep the turntable dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
Use and store the turntable only in normal temperature environments.
To protect the stylus from damage, we recommend you replace the
stylus cover when you are not using the turntable.
Handle the turntable gently and carefully. Don’t drop it. Keep the
turntable away from dust and dirt. Wipe the turntable with a damp
cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.
Cleaning/Replacing the Stylus
A dirty or worn stylus causes rough, distorted sound and could
damage your records.
Caution: Do not touch the stylus while cleaning or installing it. If the
stylus gets dirty or dusty, use a soft brush to gently clean it. If the
stylus is worn, follow these steps to replace it. You can order a
replacement stylus assembly AT3600LAX through your local
RadioShack store.
1. Turn your receiver/amplifier off.
2. Remove the stylus assembly from the cartridge by gently
grasping its sides and pulling it down.
3. Insert a new stylus assembly and gently snap it into place.
Service & Repair
If your turntable is not performing as it should, take it to your local
RadioShack store for assistance. To locate your nearest
RadioShack, use the store locator feature on RadioShack's website
