Please note: Adjust the downforce prior to installing the anti-skating weight.
The recommended downforce for the Ortofon 2M RED cartridge is 17.5mN.
The recommended downforce for the Sumiko Rainier cartridge is 20mN.
Anti-skating force adjustment
The anti-skating force must be adjusted corresponding to the downforce as
follows:
Downforce
10 - 14mN
15 - 19mN
20mN and bigger
Slip the loop of the anti-skating weight's thread over the second groove of the stub to set the correct anti-
skating force for the factory-fitted cartridge. Feed the thread through the loop of the wire support (15).
Connection to the amplifier
The record player has gold plated female RCA Phono sockets (13) so you can substitute the interconnect cables
supplied with higher quality cables such as the Pro-Ject Connect IT C, CC or Si interconnect cables for
connection to the 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 (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 which is then connected between the record player and a free line
level input of the amplifier.
For detailed product information regarding Pro-Ject Audio interconnect cables and phono amplifiers please
refer to the Pro-Ject web site www.project-audio.com.
The recommended load impedance for the factory fitted cartridges is: 47kohms /MM-input
Mains power connection
The turntable is supplied with the universal power supply with 3 exchangeable sockets adapters suitable for
all countries. 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 (14) on the rear 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.
Switching on and off, changing replay speed
The turntable is equipped with a three-position switch for ON/OFF and electronic speed change. To play
records at 33 r.p.m. press this switch (19) to the left side. To play records at 45 r.p.m. press this switch (19)
to the right side. To be able to play 78 r.p.m. the flat drive belt has to be removed and the round drive belt
has to be fitted around the sub-platter (4) and the larger diameter part of the motor pulley (2). To do so, the
platter (5) has to be removed.
After the round drive belt, has been fitted, pressing the ON/OFF switch to the right selects 78 r.p.m.
