Video 6 for the total novice DJ, The styli/needle

Lesson Beginner Stage 1: Your First Setup November 2007

Contents of the video

Alright folks, this is video number six and in video number six we're looking at the styli or needle. The styli or needle is situated at the end of the cartridge and this is removable by placing your fingers on the cartridge, placing your other fingers from your other hand on the actual needle or styli and pulling. Always be careful because this is quite a delicate piece here. And as you can see at the end of the styli we have the actual arm and at the end of the arm of the styli that is where the actual needle or the diamond is situated. That's that very, very small point there. This is the area that you have to be very careful with because if you damage this it could stop you from using this correctly and there is a possibility of the actual record jumping. Thanks for watching.
