Potential incorrect use and fault conditions
Pro-Ject Audio Systems 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 does not 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 missing plug/socket connection.
Phono input is 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 a wrong input on the amplifier, or MM/MC switch is setted incorrectly.
Needle or cantilever is damaged.
Wrong r.p.m., drive belt is overstretched or dirty, platter bearing is 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 if the problem cannot be resolved there, the unit should
be sent to the responsible distributor in your country.
Guarantee repairs will only be effected if the unit is returned correctly packed. For this reason we recommend to
keep the original packaging.

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) and belt (3). Put on
the cartridge protection cap. Insert the transport lock for the tonearm (18) before packing the record player.
