The Ortofon OM5e cartridge is typically pre-mounted. Adjust the counterweight by rotating it until the tonearm floats horizontally. Then, set the tracking force according to the cartridge manufacturer's recommendation (typically 1.75g for OM5e). Attach the anti-skate weight to the anti-skate wire and loop it over the appropriate groove on the anti-skate stub. - Connexion au système audio :

Connect the RCA output cables from the turntable to an available input on your amplifier or powered speakers. Since this model has a built-in phono preamp, you can connect it to a standard line-level input (e.g., AUX, CD, LINE). If your amplifier has a dedicated phono input, you may choose to bypass the internal preamp if desired (refer to the turntable's specific instructions for preamp bypass). - Connexion Bluetooth: To connect wirelessly, ensure your Bluetooth speaker or receiver is in pairing mode. Press and hold the Bluetooth pairing button on the turntable (if available, refer to specific model instructions for location) until the indicator light flashes. Select 'Pro-Ject Turntable' or similar from your device's Bluetooth list.
- Connexion électrique : Connect the power supply to the turntable's power input and then plug it into a wall outlet.
Opérationnel
Operating your turntable is straightforward:
- Marche/Arrêt :

Utilisez l'interrupteur marche/arrêt pour allumer ou éteindre la platine. - Sélection de vitesse : The turntable supports 33, 45, and 78 RPM speeds. Use the electronic speed switch to select the appropriate speed for your record. For 78 RPM records, a special stylus (not included) is required.
- Lecture d'un disque :

Place a record on the platter. Carefully lift the tonearm using the cueing lever. Position the stylus over the desired groove on the record. Gently lower the cueing lever to allow the stylus to descend onto the record. - Arrêt de la lecture : At the end of a record, the tonearm will not automatically lift. Use the cueing lever to raise the tonearm and return it to its rest.
Entretien
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your turntable:
- Nettoyage de la platine : Utilisez un chiffon doux, sec et non pelucheux pour nettoyer le socle et le cache-poussière. Évitez les nettoyants abrasifs et les solvants.
- Entretien du stylet :

Gently clean the stylus using a soft brush designed for stylus cleaning, brushing from back to front. Do not touch the stylus with your fingers. Replace the stylus periodically (e.g., every 500-1000 hours of playback) or if you notice a degradation in sound quality. - Nettoyage de disques : Keep your records clean to prevent dust buildup on the stylus and improve sound quality.
