Dear music lover,
thank you for purchasing a Pro-Ject Audio Systems Record Box E.
In order to achieve maximum performance and reliability you should study these instructions for use carefully.
Warning of a hazard for the user, the unit or possible misuse.
Important notice.
Safety instructions
AC outlet voltages vary from country to country. Before connecting to the mains, make sure that the
voltage in your area meets the voltage requirements printed on the power supply.
The power supply is used to disconnect the unit from the mains. Make sure that the power supply is easily
accessible at all times. Never handle the device, the power supply while your hands are wet or damp.
Avoid letting liquids enter the device or the power supply. Never place any item containing liquid,
such as a flower vase on or near the device. Never spill any liquid on the device or the power supply.
Never place any naked flame sources, such as lighted candles on or near the device. The product shall not
be used in damp or wet locations, next to a bathtub, sink, swimming pool or any other similar conditions.
Setting the cartridge mode
The phono amplifier can be used in either MM (for moving magnet and high-output MC cartridges) or MC (for
low-output MC cartridges) mode according to the construction principle of the pickup cartridge to be used.
Since most cartridges use the MM principle the phono amplifier is factory set to operate in this mode. To find
out which type your cartridge is please consult the literature accompanying your cartridge. If in doubt please
consult your dealer.
A switch at the back sets the correct level of amplification for the cartridge.
Before setting MM / MC mode the unit must be disconnected from the power supply and amplifier.
Connectors
Make all connections whilst the phono amplifier is disconnected from the power supply.
Take care to connect the left and right channels correctly. The right channel is usually marked red, the
left channel black or white.
Do not connect the phono amplifiers output to a phono input (sometimes labelled gram, disc or RIAA)
on the amplifier.
Never use any other power supply than the one supplied with the unit.
Connecting the record player
Connect the tonearm signal lead to the In of the phono amplifier. The earthing wire may be connected to the
screw terminal if you encounter hum problems when using the record player.
Connection to the amplifier
Connect the Out of the phono amplifier to a line input (such as AUX, CD, Tuner, Tape or Video) on your
amplifier.
