User manual PRO-JECT PERSPEX 6

[. . . ] Put the plinth where you intend to use the player and level it using the supplied spirit level and the adjustable feet. After this is done remove the three transport screws (1) which secure the sub-chassis (24). Carefully place the platter bearing housing (5) over the bearing axle. Setting up the sub-chassis Check the adjustment of the sub-chassis with the help of the spirit level supplied. If necessary, level the subchassis using the three knurled sub-chassis levelling screws (A, B, C), located on the plinth. [. . . ] The arm should return to the balanced position if it is moved up or down. Do not forget to remove the cartridge protection cap if fitted. Once the arm is correctly balanced return it to the rest. Hold the counterweight (6) without moving it, and gently revolve the downforce scale ring (6a) until the zero is in line with the anti-skating prong (15). Check whether the arm still balances out. Rotate the counterweight counter clockwise (seen from the front) to adjust the downforce according to the cartridge manufacturer's recommendations. One mark on the scale represents 1 mN (= 0, 1g / 0, 1 Pond) of downforce. 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 your needle is not mounted exactly perpendicular to the cartridge body (which is often the case). Slacken off the screw just enough to be able to revolve the arm tube without applying force. Do not remove the screw completely! Screw With the aid of a good magnifying glass adjust the needle until it is vertical in the groove (i. e. perpendicular to the record's surface). Ideally this should correspond to the top surface of the cartridge body being parallel to the record surface, but in practice this is often not the case. When you are satisfied that the needle is vertical retighten the screw carefully. Under no circumstances should the arm tube be adjusted with the needle still in the record groove!Irreparable damage may be caused to the cantilever suspension!The arm must be lifted to make each adjustment and lowered afterwards to check it. Anti-skating force adjustment The anti-skating force must be adjusted corresponding to the downforce as follows: Downforce Groove in the stub (15) 10 - 14mN 1st from bearing rings 15 - 19mN 2nd " " " rd 20mN and bigger 3 " " " Hang the loop of the thread of the anti-skating weight in the groove of the anti-skating stub (15) corresponding to the downforce applied to your cartridge and hang the thread in the groove of the wire support (17). Changing replay speed Using the accessory tool provided (3a), hook the belt (3) over the larger diameter part of the motor pulley (2). repeat the proceedings using the smaller step on the pulley. When the Pro-Ject Speed Box ore the Speed Box SE are used speed change between 33 and 45 r. p. m. There is no need to move the belt manually.

Your dealer can advise you on alternative cables. Use the Phono input (sometimes labelled gram, disc or RIAA) on your amplifier. [. . . ] 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.
