Cleaning the Cabinet and Dust Cover  
Maintenance  
Clean the cabinet and dust cover periodically using a  
soft dry cloth. If stains are difficult to remove, use a  
cloth moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not  
use solvents such as alcohol, benzine or thinner, since  
they will damage the finish.  
Stylus and Record Care  
In order to prevent premature stylus and record wear,  
the stylus and record should be cleaned before  
playback.  
To clean the stylus, brush it from back to front using a  
good quality stylus cleaning brush. Do not clean the  
stylus with your finger tip. When using a fluid stylus  
cleaner, make sure not to moisten the stylus too much.  
Replacing the Stylus  
The life expectancy of the stylus tip is about 500 hours.  
To preserve maximum sound quality and avoid  
damage to your records, we recommend replacing the  
stylus within this time limit.  
Additional replacement styli (ATN3600LX) are  
available from your Sony dealer.
