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.
Set-up
The deck is supplied partially disassembled and carefully packed for a safe transport. Remove all parts from
the transport packaging carefully.
Screw the three tip-toe feet (18) onto the threaded bolts located on the underside of the plinth Make sure the
surface you wish to use the turntable on is levelled (use a spirit level) before placing the turntable on it.
Put the platter bearing housing carefully over the bearing axle. Put the record clamp on the platter and level
the plinth using the spirit level and the adjustable feet (18).
Fit the drive belt (3) around the platter (5) and the motor pulley (2).
Avoid getting sweat or grease on the belt as these will deteriorate the performance and reduce the belt's
lifespan. Use absorbent kitchen paper to remove any oil or grease from the outer edge of the hub and the belt.
Remove the transport lock (17) from the tonearm. Store it in the original packaging so they are available for
any future transportation.
Please note: We recommend to using the record player without a mat on the platter.
Cartridge downforce adjustment
The supplied counterweight (5) is suitable for cartridges weighing between 6 - 12g. An alternative counterweight
for cartridges weighing between 10 - 14g is available as accessory part. Adjust the downforce before installing
the anti-skating weight.
Following adjustments have to be done very carefully. Remove cartridge protection cap. Push and turn the
counterweight (5) carefully on the rear end of the tonearm tube (8), so that the downforce scale (5a) shows
towards the front of the player. Lower the armlift and position the cartridge in the space between arm rest and
platter. Rotate the counterweight (5) until the arm tube is balanced. The arm should return to the balanced
position if it is moved up or down.
