Anti-skating force adjustment

Hang the loop of the thread of the anti-skating weight in the groove of the anti-skating stub (8) corresponding
to the downforce applied to your cartridge and feed the thread through the loop of the wire support (9).
The anti-skating force must be adjusted corresponding to the downforce as follows:
Downforce
10 - 14mN
15 - 19mN
20mN and bigger

Connection to the amplifier

The record player has a captive tonearm signal lead (12) for connection to the amplifier. 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 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.

The recommended load resistance for the factory fitted cartridge is: 47kohms /MM-input

Mains power connection

The turntable is supplied with a power supply suitable for your country's mains supply. Check the label before
connecting to ensure compliance with the mains rating in your house.
Connect the low voltage plug from the power supply to the socket (8) 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
Pressing the power switch (1) alternately starts or stops the motor.

Changing replay speed

Put the belt (22) over the larger diameter part of the motor pulley (2). To revert to 33 1/3 r.p.m. repeat the
proceedings using the smaller step on the pulley.
When the Pro-Ject Speed Box ore the Speed Box SE are used speed change between 33 and 45 r.p.m.
is electronic. There is no need to move the belt manually.
