Switching on and off, Changing replay speed

Pressing the speed control button (4) alternately starts and stops the motor.To change the speed from 33
r.p.m. to 45 r.p.m., press the STBY (4) button again. Speed is correct, when the LED diode stops blinking. To
switch the turntable into STAND BY mode, hold the button STBY (4) for 3 seconds.

Connection to the amplifier

The record player has gold plated female RCA phono sockets (14) so you can substitute the interconnect cables
supplied with higher quality cables such as the Pro
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

Mains power connection

A universal power supply with 3 exchangeable sockets adapters suitable for all countries is supplied. 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 side of the record player
before connecting the power supply to the mains.

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.

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 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. Therefore it is recommended to
remove the lid for achieving a better 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.
