DENON DL-103R (01) PDF MANUAL

The DENON DL-103R stereo cartridge includes the following accessories:

• Stylus cleaning brush: 1
• Operating instructions: 1
• Data sheet: 1
• Service Station list: 1

1. The Stylus is very delicate. Applying excessive force to the stylus, such as pressing with a finger can break it. Handle the cartridge with the utmost care.

2. A powerful magnet is used in the cartridge. Carelessly bringing a steel screwdriver or other such item near the cartridge will result in it being attracted by the magnet and may result in damage to the stylus, so care must be taken. Be sure to use the stylus cover when mounting the cartridge in the head shell, or when otherwise handling the cartridge.

• Adjust to the stylus position specified for the turntable system you are using and mount properly without tilting or turning it.

• The output terminals are color coded for identification. Match the colors of the head shell leads to the terminals and connect properly. The configuration of the output terminals is as follows:

When connecting the cartridge, be sure to use the tipped leads and press them onto the terminals. Applying heat to the output terminals of the cartridge, such as in direct soldering, will cause internal damage to the cartridge, such as wire breakage.

Tracking force in the range of 25 mN ±3 mN (2.5g ± 0.3g) should be used.

The output voltage is 0.25 mV. Use of a step-up transformer for an MC type cartridge, or a head amplifier is recommended.

Clean the stylus with the brush provided. Also remove dirt from the record surface with a good quality record cleaner before and after playing.

The DL-103R is a fixed stylus type and so when the stylus requires replacement (due to wear or for some other reason), the whole cartridge is replaced.
