How to Replace the Stylus
The stylus should last about 200 hours under normal use. However, it is recommended that the stylus be replaced as soon as you notice a change in sound quality. Prolonged use of a worn-out stylus may damage the record.
Caution: < Do not remove or bend the stylus. < To avoid injury, do not touch the needle. < Turn off the units power before you replace the stylus. < Keep out of the reach of children. < Handle with care, as the stylus is delicate. Use of a bent or broken stylus may damage the record and cause the turntable to malfunction. < Do not expose stylus to extreme heat. < Contact a qualified repair company if you experience difficulty in changing the stylus.
< Keep your records away from dust. Keep them in a cool, dry place. < To avoid dust and scratches, keep records in their sleeves and jackets when not in use. < Store records upright on their edges. Records stored horizontally will eventually bend and warp. < Do not expose records to direct sunlight or high humidity and temperature. Long exposure to high temperatures will warp the record. < Do not store your records in the trunk of your car. The temperature in a closed trunk can ruin your collection. < Store records in an area with stable temperature and humidity. < Should the record become dirty, gently wipe the surface in a circular motion, using a soft anti-static cloth. Commercial record cleaning systems are available from many retailers or on-line. TEAC does not endorse any specific product but, depending on the condition of your record collection, it may be advisable to look into one of these systems. Clean records protect your stylus from undue wear.

Replacing the Stylus

To remove the stylus assembly (the white one), hold the cartridge at the end of the tone arm with one hand and slide the stylus assembly in the direction A with your fingers of the other hand.
To install a new stylus, insert its white assembly in the direction B and then push it in the direction C. Make certain that the assembly clicks up into place.
The replacement stylus for this GF-650 is a STL-650. Please contact TEAC Parts at (323) 726-0303, extension 840 to order. Or call our automated Service Agency Locator at: (800) 447TEAC for the closest authorized repair company that can replace the stylus for you.
Please use CD, CD-R and CD-RW discs bearing the DIGITAL AUDIO mark. < Should the disc become dirty, wipe the surface radially (from the center hole outward towards the outer edge) with a soft, dry cloth:

< Never use such chemicals as record sprays, antistatic sprays or fluid, benzine or thinner to clean the discs. Such chemicals will do irreparable damage to the discs plastic surface. < Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid dust and scratches that could cause the laser pickup to skip. < Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high humidity and temperature for extended periods. Long exposure to high temperatures will warp the disc. < Do not play any disc that is warped, deformed or damaged. Playing such discs may cause irreparable harm to the playing mechanisms.
This unit CANNOT RECORD CD-R and CD-RW discs designed for computer systems.
In this manual, although we refer to CD-R and CD-RW discs, we always mean CD-R Digital Audio and CD-RW Digital Audio, even when this is not explicitly stated. < CD-R and CD-RW discs designed for computer systems and properly recorded by a computer are playable, but this unit cannot record, finalize nor erase them. < Depending on the quality of the disc and/or the condition of the recording, some CD-R/CD-RW discs may not be playable. < Copy-protected discs and other discs which do not conform to the CD standard may not play back correctly in this player. If you use such discs in this unit, TEAC Corporation and its subsidiaries cannot be responsible for any consequences or guarantee the quality of reproduction. If you experience problems with such non-standard discs, you should contact the producers of the disc.
< CD-R and CD-RW discs are more sensitive to the effects of heat and ultraviolet rays than ordinary CDs. It is important that they are not stored in a location where direct sunlight will fall on them, and away from sources of heat such as radiators or heat-generating electrical devices. < Printable CD-R and CD-RW discs arent recommended, as the label side might be sticky and damage the unit. < Do not stick papers or protective sheets on the discs and do not use any protective coating spray. < Use a soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the information on the label side. Never use a ball-point or hard-tipped pen, as this may cause damage to the recorded side. < Never use a stabilizer. Using commercially available CD stabilizers with this unit will damage the mechanisms and cause them to malfunction. < Do not use CDs with an irregular shape (octagonal, heart shaped, business card size, etc.). CDs of this sort can damage the unit:

< Always place the disc on the disc tray with the label side uppermost. (Compact discs can be played or recorded only on one side.) < To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.
< If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a CDR/ CD-RW disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc, or contact the disc manufacturer directly. How to remove the disc How to hold the disc

Remote Control Unit

About CD-R and CD-RW discs
CD-R discs can be recorded once only. Once they have been used for recording, they cannot be erased or re-recorded. However, if space is available on the disc (and the disc has not been finalized), additional material can be recorded. By contrast, a CD-RW disc can be used in much the same way as a CD-R disc, but the last track or tracks recorded can be erased, and the space on the disc can be re- used for other recordings. However, you should note that an audio CD created using a CD-RW disc may not play back satisfactorily on every audio CD player. CD-R, by contrast, may be played satisfactorily on the majority of audio CD players. The provided Remote Control Unit allows the unit to be operated from a distance. When operating the remote control unit, point it towards the REMOTE SENSOR on the front panel of the unit.
< Even if the remote control unit is operated within the effective range, remote control operation may be impossible if there are any obstacles between the unit and the remote control. < If the remote control unit is operated near other appliances which generate infrared rays, or if other remote control devices using infrared rays are used near the unit, it may operate incorrectly. Conversely, the other appliances may operate incorrectly. ENGLISH
Battery Installation Finalizing
Although audio data may be written on a CD-R or CD-RW disc, a standard CD player will not be able to play back the audio until a final table of contents (TOC) has been written at the start of the disc. The process of writing this table of contents is known as finalizing. Once this has been done, no further data can be written to the disk. Note that a CD-RW disc that has been finalized can be unfinalized. This allows further tracks to be recorded to the disc, provided that there is space on the disc. < Repeat, shuffle and programmed playback dont work with unfinalized (NO TOC) discs.

1. Remove the battery compartment cover. 2. Insert two AA (R6, SUM-3) dry batteries. Make sure that the batteries are inserted with their positive + and negative _ poles positioned correctly. 3. Close the cover.
Recordable discs In this manual, we use the term recordable disc to describe a CD-R or CD-RW disc that has not been finalized, and has enough space to record.
Battery Replacement If the distance required between the remote control unit and main unit decreases, the batteries are exhausted. In this case replace the batteries with new ones. Precautions concerning batteries < Be sure to insert the batteries with correct positive + and negative _ polarities. < Use batteries of the same type. Never use different types of batteries together. < Rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries can be used. Refer to the precautions on their labels. < When the remote control unit is not to be used for a long time (more than a month), remove the batteries from the remote control unit to prevent them from leaking. If they leak, wipe away the liquid inside the battery compartment and replace the batteries with new ones. < Do not heat or disassemble batteries and never dispose of old batteries by throwing them in a fire.
