PACKAGING 13

Dear music lover,

Thank you for purchasing a Pro-Ject Audio Systems record player.

In order to achieve maximum performance and reliability, please study these instructions carefully.

Warning of a hazard for the user, the unit or possible misuse

Important notice

The following instructions for adjusting the cartridge are provided in case the cartridge is replaced by a different

model at a later date.

During assembling and adjustment small parts could be lost if they are not carefully placed in a suitable

receptacle. Before starting assembly make yourself acquainted with the parts listed above which are

correspondingly numbered in the technical drawings above.

Safety instructions

The power supply is used to connect and disconnect the unit from the mains. Make sure that the plug

is easily accessible at all times.

Hold the plug when unplugging the power cord. Never handle the

power cord while your hands are wet or damp.

Avoid letting liquids enter the device. Never place any item containing liquid, like a flower vase, on or

near the device. Never spill any liquid on the device. Never place any naked flame sources, like lighted

candles, on or near the device. The product shall not be used in damp or wet locations, next t

o a

bathtub, sink, swimming pool or any other similar conditions.

Keep plastic bags away from children to prevent any risk of suffocation.

The turntable was shipped partially disassembled in order to avoid damage to sensitive parts. Please check

immediately to make sure that neither the packaging nor the device was damaged in transit.

SETUP AND INSTALLATION

1. FEET ASSEMBLY

Remove the front right foot (11 – accessories list) from the plastic bag. Carefully lift the turntable and screw

the foot into the thread pin from the bottom of the turntable. Balance the turntable by using a spirit level before

next steps.

2. PLATTER AND DRIVE BELT ASSEMBLY

Install the drive belt (5) and the main platter (1) as shown in following illustration.

3. MOUNTING AND CONNECTING THE CARTRIDGE

All cartridges with half inch mounting holes can be mounted. Leave the needle's protection cover on, fit the

cartridge to the headshell by using the supplied screws by passing one screw through each slot in the headshell

(12). Do not tighten the nuts yet.

Connect the tonearm wires with the cartridge pins as follows:

white left channel positive (L+)

red right channel positive (R+)

green right channel return (R-)

blue left channel return (L-)

The full sound quality of the record player can only be achieved if the cartridge is adjusted correctly. Particular

tools like the Pro-Ject Audio Systems alignment tool are required to accomplish this job properly. If you are not well

acquainted with the adjustment of cartridges, please call for the willing help of your Pro-Ject Audio Systems

dealer.

Please note: adjusting a cartridge and tonearm calls for the greatest care in order to avoid damaging

the cartridge or tonearm bearings. Ask your local dealer for help if

you are unsure in any of the

necessary steps and precautions which must be taken.

4. CARTRIDGE DOWNFORCE ADJUSTMENT

The counterweight (8)supplied is suitable for cartridges weighing between 7 - 10g (counterweight no. 46).

Adjust the downforce prior to setting the anti-skating force.

Place counterweight (8)halfway along the counterweight support rod at rear of arm, so that the downforce

scale shows towards the front of the player. Lower the armlift and position the cartridge in the space between

arm rest and platter. Carefully rotate the counterweight (8) until the armtube balances out. The arm should

return to the balanced position if it is moved up or down. This adjustment must be done carefully. Do not forget

to remove the cartridge protection cap if fitted.

Once the arm is correctly balanced return it to the rest. Hold the counterweight (8) without moving it, and gently

revolve the downforce scale ring until the zero is in line with the anti-skating prong. Check whether the arm still

balances out.

Rotate the counterweight counter clockwise (seen from the front) to adjust the downforce according to the

cartridge manufacturer's recommendations. One mark on the scale represents 1 mN (= 0.1g / 0.1 Pond) of

downforce.

The recommended downforce for the factory fitted cartridge is 18mN.

5. ANTI-SKATING FORCE ADJUSTMENT

Put the anti-skating thread hook over the anti-skating adjustment scale.

The anti-skating force must be adjusted corresponding to the downforce as follows:

Downforce Groove in the stub (15)

10 - 14mN 1st from bearing rings

15 - 19mN 2nd " " "

20mN and bigger 3rd " " "

6. CONNECTION TO THE AMPLIFIER

The record player has gold plated female RCA phono sockets (19)so you can substitute the interconnect cables

supplied with higher quality cables such as the Pro-Ject Connect IT Si interconnect cables for connection to the

amplifier if you wish. Use the Phono input (sometimes labelled gram, disc or RIAA) on your amplifier. Make

sure that the phono input offers correct matching and amplification for the type of cartridge used. Line inputs

(like CD, Tuner, Tape or Video) are not suitable.

Take care about connecting the left and right channel correctly. The RIGHT CHANNEL is usually marked RED,

the LEFT CHANNEL BLACK or WHITE. Check the manual of your amplifier for relevant information. An earthing

wire may be connected to the screw terminal between the sockets if you encounter humming problems.

If your amplifier does not have an input suitable for phono cartridges, a separate phono amplifier stage for

MM or MC cartridges is required. It has to be connected between record player and a free line level input of

the amplifier.

For detailed product information regarding Pro-Ject Audio Systems interconnect cables and phono amplifiers

please visit our website: www.project-audio.com

7. MAINS POWER CONNECTION

The turntable is supplied with a power supply suitable for your country’s mains supply. Check the label before

connecting to ensure compliance with the mains rating in your house.

Connect the low voltage plug from the power supply to the socket

(20)

on the rear of the record

player before connecting the power supply to the mains.

8. FITTING THE LID

Fit the lid (dust cover 18)carefully over the hinge prongs and adjust the screws (17) until the lid stays open

where you want it to without being too stiff to open or close.

9. SWITCHING ON AND OFF

Press the main power button (21)to start the turntable.

10. CHANGING REPLAY SPEED

To play records at 33 r.p.m. press the speed control button (3). Pressing the speed control button one more

time selects 45 r.p.m.. The selected speed is shown respectively by the flashing LED. When the platter has attained

full speed, the LEDs stop flashing.

To be able to play 78 r.p.m. the flat drive belt has to be removed and the round drive belt has to be fitted

around the sub-platter (6)and the larger diameter part of the motor pulley (4). To do so the main platter (1)

has to be removed.

After the round drive belt has been fitted, pressing the speed control button two times selects 78 r.p.m.. When

full speed is attained the LED 45 stops flashing.

11. ADJUSTING THE VERTICAL TRACKING ANGLE (VTA)

Put a record on the platter. When the needle is lowered into the record groove and the tonearm is not resting on

the lift arm, the tube of the tonearm should be parallel to the surface of the record.

If it is not, loosen both hexagon screws in the tonearm base just enough to allow vertical movement of the arm

pillar without force and slide the arm up or down until it is parallel.

Retighten the hexagon screws without applying excessive force (which would deform the arm pillar) – finger tight

is quite sufficient.

12. ADJUSTING THE AZIMUTH

The cartridge needle must be vertical in the record groove in order to trace the groove wall modulations

correctly.

A small screw at the bearing end of the arm allows incorrect azimuth to be corrected.

Slacken off the screw just enough to be able to revolve the arm tube without applying force. Note! Do not

remove this screw completely!
