Pro-Ject Elemental/Phono USB Dear music lover, thank you for purchasing a record player from Pro-Ject Audio Systems. In order to achieve maximum performance and reliability with this record player you should study these instructions for use carefully. ! Warning of a hazard for the user, the unit or possible misuse. Important notice.
Connection to the amplifier The record player has gold plated female RCA phono sockets (12) 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 a line input (such as AUX, CD, Tuner, Tape or Video) on your amplifier. Due to the built in phono pre-amplifier, a phono input (sometimes labelled gram, disc or RIAA) is not suitable.
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.
