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 between that and the amplifier. This could be due to a faulty plug, 
broken wire or solder joint or simply loose plug/socket connection. 

Wrong input selected at amplifier. 
Amplifier not switched on. 
Amplifier or speakers defective or muted. 
No connection to the loudspeakers. 

Distorted or inconsistent sound from one or both channels: 

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 effected 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 (10), counterweight (6), anti-skating 

weight (16) platter (5), cartridge and belt (3). Fit the cartridge protection cap. Insert the transport screws for 
the motor (1) and the transport lock for the tonearm (18) prior to carefully packaging the record player.
