SETUP

1. Platter and drive belt installation

Please remove drive belt from accessories box and install it as shown in the following ilustration. Put the felt

mat on the top of the platter.

2. Cartridge installation, stylus exchange

* If you purchased this turntable in a package that included the cartridge, this has already been done for

you.

Install the cartridge into the aluminium headshell, using the appropriate hardware included with your

cartridge. All cartridges with half inch mounting holes can be fitted.

Connect the cartridge as indicated below:

•White left channel L+

•Red right channel R+

•Green right channel R-

•Blue left channel L-

For correct cartridge alignment, use the two-point cartridge alignment protractor provided with your T1

accessories. If unfamiliar with two-point setup, please refer to your dealer.

A damaged or worn stylus may harm your record collection and should be replaced.

Please remove stylus protection before pulling the stylus from the cartridge and replace for a new one.

Stylus type is exchange for pre-mounted cartridge Ortofon OM 5e: Stylus OM 5e. If in doubt, consult your local

dealer or distributor.

3. Vertical Tracking Force setting (VTF)

* This setting is only neccessary when you decided to repalce your cartridge. For factory fitted cartridge, VTF

was perfectly pre-set already.

Before setting the Vertical Tracking Force, confirm the exact weight of your cartridge.

Pushing carefully, move the counterweight onto the rear end of the counterweight support rod as shown in

the illustration below. Place the stylus pressure gauge onto the platter. To set the required VTF, lower the

tonearm lift lever as indicated in the illustration and place the tip of the stylus exactly in between the two

points marked 15mN and 20mN.

If the stylus gauge becomes level, then the correct pressure has been achieved. However if the there is

insufficient or excessive pressure the gauge will either not move or tilt down.

To adjust the amount of pressure, carefully move the counterweight (11) along the support rod, until the

stylus pressure is sufficient to raise the pressure gauge to the level position. Moving the counterweight (6)

away from the cartridge will reduce pressure and towards will increase pressure. Finally secure the

counterweight (6) using hexagonal key provided.

4. 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.

If the player is not used over a long period of time the drive belt can be removed to prevent unequal stretching.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Switching on and off

Pressing the ON/OFF switch alternately starts or stops the motor.

Changing replay speed

To play 45 r.p.m., put the drive belt over the larger diameter part of the motor pulley. To revert to 33 r.p.m.

repeat the proceedings using the smaller step on the pulley.

Connection to the amplifier

The record player has a captive tonearm signal lead for connection to the amplifier. Use the Phono input 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 which is then connected between the record player and a free line

level input of the amplifier..

Connection to the amplifier

The record player has gold plated female RCA phono sockets and possibility to choose between Phono and LINE

output. With LINE OUT on, you can use a line input (such as AUX, CD, Tuner, Tape or Video) on your amplifier.

With PHONO OUT on, you can use your own phono pre-amplifier (sometimes labelled gram, disc or RIAA).

Take care to connect the left and right channels correctly. The right channel is usually marked red, the left

channel black or white. The earthing wire of the tonearm lead should be connected to the earth terminal on

your amplifier (if provided).

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 is not switched on.

Amplifier or speakers are defective or muted.

No connection to the loudspeakers.

Strong hum on phono input:

No earth connection from cartridge or arm or arm cable to amplifier, 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 overstretched or dirty, platter bearing without oil, dirty or damaged

Service

Should you encounter a problem which you are not able to alleviate or identify despite the above information,

please contact your dealer for further advice. Only when the problem cannot be resolved there should the

unit be sent to the responsible distributor in your country.

Guarantee repairs will only be affected if the unit is returned correctly packaged. For this reason we recommend

keeping the original packaging.

Never return a record player without making sure that is it safely disassembled and correctly packaged in the

original packaging according to the diagrams on the last page of this user guide. Please remove these parts

and pack them separately: lid, counterweight, anti-skating weight and belt.

Fit the cartridge protection cap and the transport lock for the tonearm tube, prior to carefully packaging the

record player.

The manufacturer accepts no responsibility for damage caused by not adhering to these instructions

for use and/or by transportation without the original packaging. Modification or change to any part

of the product by unauthorized persons, release the manufacturer from any liability over and above

the lawful rights of the customer.
