Pro-Ject Primary
Dear music lover,
thank you
for purchasing a Pro-Ject Audio Systems record player.
In order to achieve maximum performance and reliability with this record player you should study these instructions
for use carefully.
Warning

Important notice
** Your turntable has been delivered with a factory fitted and adjusted cartridge, please ignore the
cartridge set up instructions unless changing the cartridge
at a later date.
During assembly and adjustment of the deck small parts could be lost if not carefully placed in a suitable
receptacle. Before starting assembly make yourself acquainted with the parts listed above and correspondingly
numbered in the technical drawings above. Separately packed items are marked with an asterisk *.
Safety instructions
Avoid le tting liquids enter th e device or the power su pply . Never place a ny it em containing liquid,
such as a flower vase on or near the devi ce. Never spill any liquid on th e device or the power suppl y.
Never place any naked flame sources, such as lighted candles on or near the dev ice . The produd shall not
be used in damp
or wet locations, next to a bathtub, sink swimming pool or any othersimilar conditions.
Keep plastic bags away from children to prevent any risk of suffocation.
Set-up
The deck is supplied partially disassembled and carefully packaged for safe transport. Carefully remove all
parts from the transport packaging.
Make sure the surface you wish to use the turntable on is level (use a spirit level) before placing the turntable on it.
Fit the drive belt (22)
around the platter (3) and the smaller diameter part of the motor pulley (2). Avoid
getting sweat
or grease on the belt as these will deteriorate the performance and reduce the belt's lifespan. Use
absorbent kitchen paperto remove any oil or grease from the outer edge of the platter and the belt.
Fit the felt mat over the spindle
of the platter (3). Remove the transport lock (66) from the tonearm tube.
Store the transport lock in the original packaging so they are available
for any future transportation.
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.
Cartridge downforce adjustment
The counterweight (4) supplied is suitable for cartridges weighing between 3,5 - 5,5g . The counterweight is
pr e- se t perfectly from the facto ry.

Connection to the amplifier
The
record player
has
a captive tonearm signal lead (11) for connection
to
the amplifier.
Use
the Phono input
(sometimes labelled gram, disc
or
RIM) 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.
Toke 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 which
is
then connected between the record player and a free line
level input
of
the amplifier.
For detailed product information regarding Pro-Ject
Audio
Phono Amplifiers please refer
to
the Pro-Ject web
site www.project-audio.com.
~
The
recommended
load
impedance
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
(1
0) on the rear
of
the record player
before connecting the
power
supply
to
the mains.
Fitting the lid
Fit the lid (dust cover) corefully over the hinge prongs and adjust the screws (9) until the lid
stays
open where
you want
it
to
without being
too
stiff
to
open
or
close.

Pressing the power switch (1) alternately starts
or
stops the motor.

the belt (22) over the larger diameter part
of

.
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 ore available
at
specialist stores but must be applied sparingly
to
avoid damage
to
rubber
ports. It
is
recommended
to
fit the needle cover before cleaning
or
maintenance

If
the player
is
not used over a long period
of

Fitting and connecting the cartridge
**Other cartridges with half inch mounting holes con be fitted. Please consider adequate cartridge
weight, because this tonearm
is optimised for lightweight cartrigdes like OM series..
Leaving the needle's protection cover on, fit the cartridge to the headshell (8) using the screws supplied with
the cartridge
by passing one screw through each slot in the headshell (8). Do not tight en the nuts yet.
Connect the tonearm wires
to the cartridge pins as follows:
white left channel positive
(L +)
red right channel pas. (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
tooi"Aiign it" 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.
Please note: Adiusting a cartridge and tonearm
calls for the greatest care in order to avoid damaging
the cartridge or tonearm bearings.
Lea ve this work to your dealer if you are in any way unsure ofthe
necessary steps and precautions to be taken.

Potential incorrect use and fault conditions
Pro-Ject turntables are manufactured to the highest standards and undergo strict quality controls before
leaving the factory. Faults that may possibly occur are not necessarily due
to material or production faults but
can sometimes
be caused by incorrect use or unfortunate circumstances. Therefore the following list of common
fault symptoms
is included.
The platter doesn't turn although the unit is switched on:
The unit is not connected to the mains power supply.
No mains at the socket.
Drive belt
is not fitted or has slipped off.
No signal through one or other channel or both channels:
No signal contact from the cartridge to the internal tonearm wiring or from that to the arm lead or
from that to the phono box or between that and the amplifier. This could be due to a faulty plug,
broken wire
or solder joint or simply loose plug/socket connection.
Phono input
not selected at amplifier.
Amplifier not switched on.
Amplifier
or speakers is defective or muted.
No connection to the loudspeakers.
Strong hum on phono input:
No earth connection from cartridge or arm or arm cable to amp lifier, or earth loop.
Distorted or inconsistent sound from one or both channels:
Record player is connected to wrong input of amplifier, or MM/MC switch incorrectly set.
Needle
or cantilever damaged.
Wrong r.p.m., drive belt
is overstretched or di rt y, platter bearing without oil, dirty or damaged.
