RR35/RR36: How do I replace the stylus?

What You Need:

• A replacement stylus compatible with the AT3600L cartridge: Audio-Technica ATN3600L

Steps to Replace the Stylus:

1. Turn Off the Turntable
   • If your turntable is connected to power, turn it off and unplug it to avoid accidental movement.
2. Remove the Old Stylus
   • Using the tonearm lock, secure the tonearm.
   • Gently hold the cartridge body with one hand.
   • With your other hand, grasp the stylus assembly (the plastic portion at the bottom of the cartridge).
   • Pull the stylus downward and then slightly forward as it detaches.
     
3. Install the New Stylus
   • Align the new stylus with the cartridge slot.
   • Insert it by pushing upward and slightly backward until it clicks into place.
     
4. Check the Alignment
   • Ensure the stylus is seated properly and not tilted or loose.
5. Test the Turntable
   • Gently place the tonearm back on a record to check if the new stylus tracks correctly.
6. Extra Tips:
   • Avoid touching the needle (stylus tip) directly to prevent damage.
   • Always use a genuine Audio-Technica stylus to ensure proper sound quality.
