Dear Music Lover,

Congratulations and thank you for choosing Pro-Ject Audio Systems record player.

Your Primary E Phono turntable has been handcrafted and rigorously tested by skilled technicians

to give you years of enjoyable, trouble free service.

Please contact your dealer if you require additional assistance.

Important:

Your 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. If you are missing parts or if the unit is damaged, please do not operate and contact your

dealer.

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,

ne t to a bathtub, sink, swimming pool or any other similar conditions.

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

Platter and drive belt installation

Please remove brown paper insert which holds the platter in transport position. Put the felt mat on the

top of the platter. Install the drive belt as shown in the following illustration.

Cartridge downforce adjustment

The counterweight (8) supplied is suitable for cartridges weighing between 3 - 7g (weight no. 81). The

counterweight is pre-set perfectly from the factory.

In case you need to set the tracking force, please read following instructions:

Place the stylus pressure gauge onto the platter

To adjust the amount of pressure, carefully move the

counterweight along the support rod, until the stylus pressure is sufficient to raise the pressure gauge

to the level position. Moving the counterweight away from the cartridge will reduce pressure and

towards will increase pressure. Finally secure the counterweight using hexagonal key provided.

If the stylus gauge becomes level, then the correct pressure has been achieved. However if the there is

insufficient or excessive pressure the gauge will either not move or tilt down.

Connection to the amplifier

The record player has gold plated female RCA phono sockets (14) and possibility to choose between

PHONO and LINE output. With LINE OUT on, you can use a line input (such as AUX, CD, Tuner, Tape or

Video) on your amplifier. With PHONO OUT on, you can use your own PHONO Pre-amplifier (sometimes

labelled gram, disc or RIAA).

Take care to connect the left and right channels correctly. The right channel is usually marked red, the

left channel black or white. Check the manual supplied with your amplifier for relevant information.

The earthing wire of the tonearm lead should be connected to the earth terminal on your amplifier (if

provided).

For detailed product information regarding Pro-Ject Audio Phono amplifiers please refer to the Pro-

Ject web site www.project-audio.com.

The recommended load impedance for the factory fitted cartridge is: 47kohms MM input

Mains power connection

The turntable is supplied with the universal power supply with 3 exchangeable sockets adapters

suitable for all countries. Select the correct adapter for your country and insert the adapter to the

exchangeable part of the power supply.

Connect the low voltage plug from the power supply to the socket (13) on the rear of the record

player before connecting the power supply to the mains.

Fitting the lid

Fit the lid (dust cover) carefully over the hinge prongs and adjust the screws (9) until the lid stays open

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

Switching on and off

Pressing the power switch (1) alternately starts or stops the motor.

Changing replay speed

Put the belt over the larger diameter part of the motor pulley (2). To revert to 33 r.p.m. repeat the

proceedings using the smaller step on the pulley.

Maintenance and cleaning

Your record player requires little or no regular maintenance. Remove dust with a slightly moistened

antistatic cloth. Never use a dry cloth because this will create static electricity which attract more dust!

Antistatic cleaning fluids are available at specialist stores but must be applied sparingly to avoid

damage to rubber parts. It is recommended to fit the needle cover before cleaning or maintenance is

carried out to avoid damage.

If the player is not used over a long period of time the drive belt can be removed to prevent unequal

stretching.

Fitting 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 (8). 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.

Useful tips

The record player should be positioned on a low-resonance surface such as wood or multiple layer ply

board to avoid structural vibrations disturbing replay.

Potential incorrect use and fault conditions

Pro-Ject turntables are manufactured to the highest standards and undergo strict quality controls

before leaving the factory. Faults that may possibly occur are not necessarily due to material or

production faults but can sometimes be caused by incorrect use or unfortunate circumstances. Therefore

the following list of common fault symptoms is included.

The platter doesn't turn although the unit is switched on:

The unit is not connected to the mains power supply.

No mains at the socket.

Drive belt is not fitted or has slipped off.

No signal through one or other channel or both channels:

No signal contact from the cartridge to the internal tonearm wiring or from that to the arm lead or

from that to the phono box or between that and the amplifier. This could be due to a faulty plug,

broken wire or solder joint or simply loose plug socket connection.

Phono input not selected at amplifier.

Amplifier not switched on.

Amplifier or speakers is defective or muted.

No connection to the loudspeakers.

Strong hum on phono input:

No earth connection from cartridge or arm or arm cable to amplifier, or earth loop.

Distorted or inconsistent sound from one or both channels:

Record player is connected to wrong input of amplifier, or MM MC switch incorrectly set.

Needle or cantilever damaged.

Wrong r.p.m., drive belt is overstretched or dirty, platter bearing without oil, dirty or damaged.

Service

Should you encounter a problem which you are not able to alleviate or identify despite the above

information, please contact your dealer for further advice. Only when the problem cannot be resolved

there should the unit be sent to the responsible distributor in your country.

Guarantee repairs will only be effected if the unit is returned correctly packaged. For this reason we

recommend keeping the original packaging.

Never return a record player without making sure that is it safely disassembled and correctly packaged

in the original packaging according to the diagrams on the last page of this user guide.

Fit the cartridge protection cap and the transport lock for the tonearm tube (66), prior to carefully

packaging the record player.

The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for damage caused by not adhering to these

instructions for use and/or by transportation without the original packaging. Modification or

change to any part of the product by unauthorized persons, release the manufacturer from any

liability over and above the lawful rights of the customer.
