[. . . ] Please note: do not remove the screw completely!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. 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 according to the mass of the cartridge 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 feed the thread through the loop of the wire support (17). Connection to the amplifier The record player has gold plated female RCA phono sockets (14) so you can substitute the interconnect cables supplied with those of your choice for connection to the amplifier if you wish. Your dealer can advise you on alternative cables. Use the Phono input (sometimes labelled gram, disc or RIAA) 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. An earthing wire may be connected to the screw terminal between the sockets if you encounter hum problems when using the record player. 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 such as the PRO-JECT PHONO BOX or the PRO-JECT TUBE BOX which is then connected between the record player and a free line level input of the amplifier.
