• Aktenpflege: Halten Sie Ihre Schallplatten sauber und staubfrei. Bewahren Sie sie senkrecht in ihren Hüllen auf, um ein Verziehen zu verhindern.
• Stiftwechsel: The stylus has a limited lifespan (typically 300-1000 hours of playback). Replace it when you notice a decrease in sound quality or visible wear. Consult your dealer for a replacement Audio Technica AT-3600L stylus.
