If it is not, loosen the hexagon screw in the tonearm base (8 RS tonearms or 7 AS tonearms)
just enough to allow vertical movement of the arm pillar without force and slide the arm up or
down until it is parallel.
Carefully retighten the hexagon screw without applying excessive force (which would deform
the arm pillar) – finger-tight is quite sufficient.

Fitting and connecting the cartridge
All cartridges with half-inch mounting holes can be fitted. Leaving the stylus's protection
cover in place, fit the cartridge to the headshell using the screws supplied with the cartridge
by passing one screw through each slot in the headshell (1). Do not tighten the nuts at this
stage.
Connect the tonearm wires to the cartridge pins as follows:
white
left channel positive (L+)
red
right channel positive (R+)
green
right channel return (R-)
blue
left channel return (L-)
The full sound quality of the turntable can only be achieved if the cartridge is correctly adjusted.
Dedicated tools, such as PRO-JECT’s alignment tool, will help you to accomplish this. If you are
not well-acquainted with the adjustment of cartridges, you are advised to call upon the skills of
your PRO-JECT dealer to undertake this task for you.
Please note: adjusting a cartridge and tonearm calls for the greatest care in order to
avoid damaging the cartridge or tonearm bearings. Leave this work to your dealer if
you are in any way unsure of the necessary steps and precautions to be taken.
