Changing replay speed
The Speed selector (24) switches between 33 and 45 r.p.m..
To replay records at 78 r.p.m. perform the following steps: Remove the platter (5) and using the tool (3a)
from the accessory kit. Fit the belt (3) around the larger diameter step of the pulley (2). Replace the Platter,
start the turntable at 33 r.p.m. and switch the speed to 45 r.p.m., the platter will then revolve at 78 r.p.m..
Automatic switch-off
When the needle reaches the runout groove the motor is turned off by the electronic circuit, which also
controls a mechanical link to activate the tonearm lift.
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 this will create static electricity which attract more dust! Antistatic
cleaning fluids are available at specialist stores but must 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 over a long period of time the drive belt can be removed to prevent unequal stretching.
Always disconnect the record player from the mains power supply as a precaution before maintenance!
Useful tips
The record player should be positioned on a low-resonance surface such as wood or multiple layer ply board
to avoid structural vibrations disturbing replay.
Fitting and connecting the cartridge
** All cartridges with half inch mounting holes can be fitted. Leaving the needle's protection cover on, fit the
cartridge to the headshell using the screws supplied with the cartridge by passing one screw through each
slot in the headshell (21). Do not tighten the nuts yet.
Connect the tonearm wires to the cartridge pins as follows:
white
left channel positive (L+)
red
right channel pos. (R+)
green
right channel return (R -)
blue
left channel return (L -)
The full sound quality of the record player can only be achieved if the cartridge is correctly adjusted. Particular
tools like the PRO-JECT alignment tool are required to accomplish this job properly.
If you are not well acquainted with the adjustment of cartridges you are advised to call upon the willing help of
your PRO-JECT dealer to accomplish this task for you.
Whilst adjusting the cartridge alignment with an alignment protractor the drive belt must be removed
and the motor must be switched on, otherwise the arm lift cannot be lowered.
