Maintenance and cleaning
Your record player requires little or no regular maintenance. Remo e dust with a slightly moistened

carried out to a oid damage.
If the player is not used o er a long period of time the dri e belt can be remo ed to pre ent unequal
stretching.

Always disconnect the record player from the mains power supply as a precaution before
maintenance!
Mounting and connecting the cartridge
** All cartridges with half inch mounting holes can be fitted. Lea ing the needle's protection co er on,
fit the cartridge to the headshell (14) using the screws supplied with the cartridge by passing one
screw through each slot in the headshell (14). Do not tighten the nuts yet.
Connect the tonearm wires to the cartridge pins as follows:
white left channel positi e (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 achie ed if the cartridge is correctly adjusted.
Particular tools like the Pro-Ject alignment tool “Align IT” are required to accomplish this job properly.
If you are not well acquainted with the adjustment of cartridges you are ad ised to call upon the willing
help of your Pro-Ject dealer to accomplish this task for you.
Please note: Adjusting a cartridge and tonearm calls for the greatest care in order to a oid
damaging the cartridge or tonearm bearings. Lea e this work to your dealer if you are in any
way unsure of the necessary steps and precautions to be taken.
Useful tips
The record player should be positioned on a low-resonance surface such as wood or multiple layer ply
