** All cartridges with half inch mounting holes can be fitted. Lea ing the needle's protection co er on,

fit the cartridge to the headshell (14) using the screws supplied with the cartridge by passing one

screw through each slot in the headshell (14). Do not tighten the nuts yet.

Connect the tonearm wires to the cartridge pins as follows:

white left channel positi e (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 achie ed if the cartridge is correctly adjusted.

Particular tools like the Pro-Ject alignment tool “Align IT” are required to accomplish this job properly.

If you are not well acquainted with the adjustment of cartridges you are ad ised to call upon the willing

help of your Pro-Ject dealer to accomplish this task for you.

Please note: Adjusting a cartridge and tonearm calls for the greatest care in order to a oid

way unsure of the necessary steps and precautions to be taken.
