Cartridge alignment

Mount the cartridge under the headshell. Tighten the screws only enough to just fix the cartridge. Now adjust
the downforce approximately to the manufacturer's recommendation. Check the tonearm height adjustment
and adjust if necessary. Both tasks are described in the instructions supplied with your Pro-Ject record player.
Adjust the cartridge fore and aft using the elongated holes in the headshell so that the needle rests on the
correct overhang mark
Now align the front edge of the cartridge to make it parallel to the lines which run the length of the base.
This adjustment is easier to perform if a thin propelling pencil lead is attached with sticky tape to the front of
the cartridge (provided that this has a flat front edge). Please remember to fasten the cartridge mounting
bolts tightly after completing adjustment. Check the adjustment again after tightening the bolts.

Adjusting azimuth

Loosen the grub screw which fixes the tonearm tube in position as explained in the instructions for use
accompanying your Pro-Ject record player. Lower the arm with the lift so that the needle comes to rest in the
middle of the tool's mirror
surface or until the cartridge's bottom edge is parallel to it. Re-tighten the grub screw. Re-check all
adjustments and repeat the procedures if necessary.
