INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Pro-Ject Phono Box USB

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.

Setting the cartridge mode

The phono amplifier can be used in either MM (for moving magnet and high-output MC cartridges) or MC (for low-output MC cartridges) mode according to the construction principle of the pickup cartridge to be used. Since most cartridges use the MM principle the phono amplifier is factory set to operate in this mode. To find out which type your cartridge is please consult the literature accompanying your cartridge. If in doubt please consult your dealer. A switch at the back of the phono amplifier sets the correct level of amplification for the cartridge.

Before setting MM / MC mode the unit must be disconnected from the power supply and amplifier.
