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.
V Always disconnect the record player from the mains
power
supply as a precaution
before
maintenance!
Fitting
and
connecting
the
cartridge
**
All cartridges with
half
inch mounting holes can be fitted. Leaving the needle's protection cover on, fit the
cartridge
to
the headshell using the screws supplied with the cartridge by passing
one
screw through each
slot
in
the headshell (21).
Do
not
tighten the nuts yet.
Connect the tonearm wires
to
the cartridge pins as follows:
white left channel positive (L+)
red right channel pos.
(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
correctly adjusted. Particular
tools like the PRO-JECT alignment tool are required to accomplish this job properly.
If you are not well acquainted with the adjustment
of
cartridges you are advised to call
upon
the willing help
of
your PRO-JECT dealer
to
accomplish this task
for
you.
The finger
lift
(21)
must
be
fitted on top
of
the headshell
under
the cartridge fixing bolts
or
nuts -
not
between
headshell
and
cartridge body.
~
Please note: adiusting a cartridge
and
tonearm calls
for
the greatest care
in
order to
avoid
damaging
the cartridge
or
tonearm bearings. Leave this work to
your
dealer if you are
in
any
way unsure
of
the
necessary steps
and
precautions to
be
taken.
Useful tips
The lid
is
not only a dust cover but also a resonant structure likely
to
be excited by,
and
to
pass into the
plinth, the acoustic energy emanating from your loudspeakers during replay. It
is
therefore recommended
that the lid be removed
for
optimum
sound quality.
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.
