Anti-Skating Force Adjustment; Switching On And Off - Pro-Ject Audio Systems Pro-Ject RPM 5 SuperPack Instructions For Use Manual

Anti-skating force adjustment

The anti-skating force must be adjusted according to the mass of the cartridge as
follows:
Downforce
10 - 14mN
15 - 19mN
20mN and bigger
Hang the loop of the thread of the anti-skating weight in the groove of the anti-skating stub (15) corresponding
to the downforce applied to your cartridge and feed the thread through the loop of the wire support (17).
Connection to the amplifier
The record player has gold plated female RCA phono sockets (14) so you can substitute the interconnect cables
supplied with those of your choice for connection to the amplifier if you wish. Your dealer can advise you on
alternative cables. 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. An earthing
wire may be connected to the screw terminal between the sockets if 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 such as the PRO-JECT PHONO BOX or the PRO-JECT TUBE BOX
which is then connected between the record player and a free line level input of the amplifier.
For detailed product information please refer to the Pro-Ject web site www.project-audio.com.
The recommended load resistance for the factory fitted cartridge is: 47kohms /MM-input

The turntable is supplied with a power supply suitable for your country's mains supply. Check the label before

the Pro-Ject Speed Box to the socket (13) on the rear of the record player before connecting the power supply
to the mains.
