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.

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. 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. 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. For detailed product information please refer to the Pro-Ject web site www. project-audio. com. The recommended load resistance for the Ortofon MC Rondo Red cartridge is: 10-200ohms/MC-input. The recommended load resistance for the Ortofon MC Salsa cartridge is: > 20ohms/MC-input.
