PACKAGING 14

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. Separately packed items are marked with an

asterisk *.

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 to

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. TRANSPORT SCREWS

Remove the three transport screws

(7)

from the upper part of the chassis before installing the sub-platter

(6)

the drive belt

(5)

and the platter

(1)

2. 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.

3. CARTRIDGE DOWNFORCE ADJUSTMENT

The counterweight

(8)

supplied is suitable for cartridges weighing between 5 - 9g (counterweight no.

183

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

Place counterweight

(8)

halfway along the counterweight support rod at rear of arm, being sure to have the

securing screw uppermost.

With the power off, and the platter static, place the stylus pressure gauge

(13)

onto the platter. To set the

recommended 18mN downforce (1mN = 0,1g / 0,1 Pond), place the tip of the stylus exactly in-between the

two points marked 15mN and 20mN.

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.

To adjust the amount of pressure, carefully move the counterweight

(8)

along the support rod, until the stylus

pressure is sufficient to raise the pressure gauge to the level position. Moving the counterweight

(8)

away

from the cartridge will reduce pressure and towards will increase pressure.

Please note: It is advised to remove stylus tip from gauge whilst making adjustments to avoid damage

to stylus.

4. 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 " " "

5. 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 C/CC/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

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.

please visit our website:

6. 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.

7. FITTING THE LID

Fit the lid

(dust cover 17)

carefully over the hinge prongs and adjust the screws

(18)

until the lid stays open

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

8. SWITCHING ON AND OFF

Pressing the power switch

(3)

alternately starts or stops the motor.

9. CHANGING REPLAY SPEED

To play records at

45 r.p.m.

, put the drive belt

(5)

over the larger diameter part of the motor pulley

(4)

using

the accessory tool provided

(10 – accessories list)

. To revert to

33 r.p.m.

repeat the proceedings using the

smaller step on the pulley.

10. 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.
