Dear music lover, Thank you for purchasing a Pro-Ject Audio System’s record player. In order to achieve maximum performance and reliability, please study these instructions carefully. Warning of a hazard for the user, the unit or possible misuse ! Important notice The record player is supplied without cartridge or with a factory fitted and adjusted cartridge Ortofon QUINTET RED.
Fitting and connecting the cartridge All cartridges with half inch mounting holes can be fitted. Leave the needle's protection cover on, fit the cartridge to the headshell by using the supplied screws by passing one screw through each slot into the headshell (16). Do not tighten the nuts yet.
Adjusting the azimuth The cartridge needle must be vertical in the record groove in order to trace the groove wall modulations correctly. A small screw at the bearing end of the arm allows incorrect azimuth to be corrected, if the needle is not mounted exactly perpendicular to the cartridge body. Screw Slacken off the screw just enough to be able to revolve the arm tube without applying force.
Changing replay speed Use the accessory tool provided (3a), hook the belt (3) over the larger diameter part of the motor pulley (2). To revert to 33 r.p.m. repeat the proceedings using the smaller step on the pulley. Fitting the optional lid (separately available) Place the lid carefully over the record player from above.
