Connection to the amplifier

The record player has a captive tonearm signal lead (14) for connection to the amplifier. 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 (such as CD, Tuner, Tape or Video) are not suitable.

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).

If your amplifier does not have an input suitable for phono cartridges you will require a separate phono

amplifier stage for MM or MC cartridges such as the PRO-JECT PHONO BOX or the PRO-JECT TUBE BOX

which is then connected between the record player and a free line level input of the amplifier.

For detailed product information please refer to the Pro-Ject web site www.project-audio.com.

The recommended load resistance for the factory fitted cartridge is: 47kohms/MM-input

Fitting the lid

Fit the lid (dust cover 10) carefully over the hinge prongs and adjust the screws (12) until the lid stays open

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

Using the automatic start & stop facility

Before starting record replay, lower the tonearm lift lever until it is about horizontal. By switching the power

on/off switch (20) record replay can be started and stopped at any position across the record. The tonearm

lift is raised or lowered accordingly when the power is turned on or off.

The tonearm cannot be lowered manually whilst the turntable is turned off, as it is held in position by

an electromagnetic switch.

The manual lift function is only available when the turntable is turned on and the platter is revolving.

Changing replay speed

To play records at 45 r.p.m. first remove the platter (5). Using the accessory tool provided (3a), hook the belt

(3) over the larger diameter part of the motor pulley (2). Refit the platter. To revert to 33,33 r.p.m. repeat the

proceedings using the smaller step on the pulley.

Automatic switch-off

When the needle reaches the runout groove the motor is turned off by the electronic circuit, which also

controls a mechanical link to activate the tonearm lift.

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.

Always disconnect the record player from the mains power supply as a precaution before maintenance!

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.
