INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Pro-Ject Phono Box S

Dear music lover,

thank you for purchasing a PRO-JECT AUDIO phono amplifier.

In order to achieve maximum performance and reliability you should study these instructions for use carefully.

Warning of a hazard for the user, the unit or possible misuse.

Important notice.

Safety instructions

AC outlet voltages vary from country to country. Before connecting to the mains, make sure that the

voltage in your area meets the voltage requirements printed on the power supply.

The power supply is used to disconnect the unit from the mains. Make sure that the power supply is easily

accessible at all times. Never handle the device, the power supply while your hands are wet or damp.

Avoid letting liquids enter the device or the power supply. Never place any item containing liquid,

such as a flower vase on or near the device. Never spill any liquid on the device or the power supply.

Never place any naked flame sources, such as lighted candles on or near the device. The product shall not

be used in damp or wet locations, next to a bathtub, sink, swimming pool or any other similar conditions.

Settings

Use the dip switches at the bottom of the unit to set input gain, input capacitance and input impedance.

Please set both channels equally.

To find out which type your cartridge is please consult the literature accompanying your cartridge.

The literature for cartridges should also specify the correct input impedance (low-output MC cartridges) and

the correct input capacitance (high-output MC and MM cartridges), into which the cartridge is designed to

work. If in doubt please consult your dealer.

To alter settings the unit must be disconnected from the power supply and the amplifier.

A switch at the back of the phono amplifier activates and deactivates the subsonic filter.

Connectors

Pro-Ject Audio Systems, Vienna, Austria

18V

OFF

Subsonic

Make all connections whilst the phono amplifier is disconnected from the power supply.

Take care to connect the left and right channels correctly. The right channel is usually marked red, the

left channel black or white.

Do not connect the phono amplifiers output to a phono input (sometimes labelled gram, disc or RIAA)

on the amplifier.

Never use any other power supply than the one supplied with the unit.

Connecting the record player

Connect the tonearm signal lead to the In of the phono amplifier. The earthing wire may be connected to the

screw terminal if you encounter hum problems when using the record player.

Connection to the amplifier

Connect the Out of the phono amplifier to a line input (such as AUX, CD, Tuner, Tape or Video) on your

amplifier.

Mains power connection

Connect the low voltage plug from the power supply to the Power 18V "socket of the phono amplifier before

connecting the power supply to the mains.

Stand-By

The button on the front panel of the unit alternately turns the power on or returns it to standby mode. The blue

LED above the stand-by push button shows that the unit is switched on.
