Using The Unit - Pro-Ject Audio Systems VC-E2 Instructions For Use Manual

Place the 2 pieces of supplied white plastic washers on the motor shaft (11) – these set the correct height
of the platter and then place on top of them the assembled platter and use the supplied allen key to
tighten the platter on the shaft.
This product is only for non-commercial use.

Using the unit

Please ensure that all assembly and set up steps have been followed as outlined in this manual. All 3 rocker
switches ("main switch", "motor" and "vacuum" should be in position "0"). Connect the power cord to the
socket on the rear side of the VC-E2 and turn the main switch to the "I" position.
Place a record on the platter and put the magnetic clamp on top it.
While the record is turning apply just enough of ready-to-use cleaning fluid (3ml per side) to the record while
holding the brush horizontally and gently pressing against the record, spread the fluid across the surface of
the record. Use only the necessary amount of fluid, enough to cover the record, not the machine!
Do not use cleaning fluids from other suppliers. Use only so little fluid that it is not regularly getting on
the surface of the machine. If this happens remove the excess fluid with a tissue.
Cleaning efficiency can be significantly improved by applying appropriate force on the cleaning brush.
Even more cleaning improvement can be achieved by using warmed-up Wash It 2 cleaning fluid. Wash
It 2 can be warmed in a microwave oven up to 40 degrees Celsius, please check temperature to avoid
record damage. Wash It 2 is non-flammable and non-toxic. Please note that you are doing all this at
your own risk.
The motor can turn in both directions or can be stopped during the application of the fluid, depending on
your personal preference. To change direction, choose the "I" position for clockwise rotation or to the "II"
position for counter-clockwise rotation.
It is recommended that you use the brush to spread the Wash it 2 cleaning fluid on the record in both
directions before vacuuming. For better dissolving of impurities, wait a few seconds (longer in the case of
heavily soiled records) before starting the vacuuming process.
Once the fluid covers the entirety of the record, turn the motor switch to the "I" position (if not already at that
position) and place the vacuum arm above the record pointing at the spindle until it reaches its lock
Turn the Vacuum motor to the "I" position at the same time as you set the arm down onto the record. After
the cleaning fluid has been thoroughly vacuumed, switch off the vacuum, followed by the motor (we
recommend one rotation on the "I" setting and afterwards another rotation on the "II" setting). Return the
vacuum arm into its rest position and wait a few seconds for the record to dry thoroughly. Remove the clamp,
turn the record over and repeat steps for the opposite side of the record.
The VC-E2 is equipped with automatic overheating protection, which switches the motor off in case of
excessive usage. After a cool-down period, the VC-E2 will return to its fully operational status.
After use tip: We highly recommend to remove the vacuum arm from its position on the flange and
switch the vacuum motor on for 15-30s in order to blow away all the remaining liquid from the motor
and the whole system. This will help to keep all internal parts of the unit dry and significantly lower the
possibility to be affected with rust. For the same reason it is also not recommended to pack the VC-E2
back into its plastic bag from original packaging.
