9. SPEED CONTROL
To start the rotation of the platter, press either the button labeled 33 or 45, depending on the speed of the
record to be played (33 rpm or 45 rpm). When you want to stop the turntable or when it is not in use, switch
it to STANDBY mode by pressing the middle button.
10. CONNECTING THE POWER SUPPLY
The turntable is supplied with a universal power supply (90-246V AC) and includes 3 interchangeable socket
adapters suitable for all countries. Select the correct adapter for your country and insert it into the
interchangeable part of the power supply. Connect the low voltage plug from the power supply to the socket
on the rear of the record player (marked with sticker 15V DC) before connecting the power supply to the
mains.
11. CONNECTION TO THE AMPLIFIER
Connect the tonearm cables to 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. An earthing
wire may be connected to the screw terminal on your amplifier you encounter hum problems when using the
record player.
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 website www.project-audio.com.
12. 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 it will create static electricity, which attracts more dust! Antistatic
cleaning fluids are available at specialty stores but should 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 for a long period of time, the drive belt can be removed to prevent uneven
stretching.
