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. ! Always disconnect the record player from the mains power supply as a precaution before maintenance! 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. Fitting and connecting the cartridge ** All cartridges with half inch mounting holes can be fitted. Leaving the needle's protection cover on, fit the cartridge to the headshell using the screws supplied with the cartridge by passing one screw through each slot in the headshell (21). Connect the tonearm wires to the cartridge pins as follows: white left channel positive (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 achieved if the cartridge is correctly adjusted. Particular tools like the PRO-JECT alignment tool 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. 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 Screw 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. 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).
