Here is a manual for Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Turntable: Pro-Ject Debut Carbon User Manual Download. The Pro-Ject Debut Carbon is a feat of engineering that has forced its competitors to rethink their strategies seriously.

Warning of a hazard for the user, the unit or possible misuse. Important notice. Your turntable has been delivered with a factory fitted and adjusted cartridge, please ignore the. Check the manual supplied with your amplifier for relevant information. The earthing.

Set-up

The deck is supplied partially disassembled and carefully packaged for safe transport. Carefully remove all
parts from the transport packaging.

Make sure the surface you wish to use the turntable on is level (use a spirit level) before placing the turntable on it.
Remove the transport lock (18) from the tonearm. Store it in the original packaging so it is available for any
future transportation.
Fit the drive belt (3) around the hub (4) and the smaller diameter part of the motor pulley (2). Avoid getting

sweat or grease on the belt as these will deteriorate the performance and reduce the belt's lifespan. Use
absorbent kitchen paper to remove any oil or grease from the outer edge of the hub and the belt. Fit the
platter (5) over the spindle of the hub (4).

Please note: We recommend to use the record player without a mat on the platter.

Cartridge downforce adjustment

The counterweight (6) supplied is suitable for cartridges weighing between 6,5 - 8,5g (weight no. 8). An
alternative counterweight for cartridges weighing between 4,5 - 6g (weight no. 80) is available as an accessory part.

Pushing carefully, turn the counterweight (6) onto the rear end of the tonearm tube (9), so that the downforce
scale (6a) shows towards the front of the player. Lower the armlift and position the cartridge in the space
between arm rest and platter. Carefully rotate the counterweight (6) until the armtube balances out. The arm
should return to the balanced position if it is moved up or down. This adjustment must be done carefully. Do
not forget to remove the cartridge protection cap if fitted.

Once the arm is correctly balanced return it to the rest. Hold the counterweight (6) without moving it, and gently
revolve the downforce scale ring (6a) until the zero is in line with the anti-skating prong (15). Check whether the
arm still balances out.
Rotate the counterweight counter clockwise (seen from the front) to adjust the downforce according to the cartridge
manufacturer's recommendations. One mark on the scale represents 1 mN (= 0,1g / 0,1 Pond) of downforce.

Please note: Adjust the downforce prior to installing the anti-skating weight.
The recommended downforce for the Ortofon 2M Red cartridge is 17,5mN.

Anti-skating force adjustment

The anti-skating force must be adjusted corresponding to the downforce as follows:

Slip the loop of the anti-skating weight's thread over the second groove of the stub to set the correct anti-

skating force for the factory-fitted cartridge. Feed the thread through the loop of the wire support (17).

Connection to the amplifier

The record player has gold plated female RCA phono sockets (14) so you can substitute the interconnect cables
supplied with higher quality cables such as the Pro-Ject Connect it interconnect cables for connection to the
amplifier if you wish.
Use the Phono input (sometimes labelled gram, disc or RIAA) on your amplifier. Make sure that the phono input
offers correct matching and amplification for the type of cartridge used. Line inputs (such as CD, Tuner, Tape or

Video) are not suitable.
Take care to connect the left and right channels correctly. The right channel is usually marked red, the left
channel black or white. Check the manual supplied with your amplifier for relevant information. The earthing
wire of the tonearm lead should be connected to the earth terminal on your amplifier (if provided).
If your amplifier does not have an input suitable for phono cartridges you will require a separate phono

amplifier stage for MM or MC cartridges which is then connected between the record player and a free line
level input of the amplifier.

Fitting and connecting the cartridge

** All cartridges with half inch mounting holes can be fitted. Leaving the needle's protection cover on, fit the
cartridge to the headshell using the screws supplied with the cartridge by passing one screw through each
slot in the headshell (20). Do not tighten the nuts yet.

The full sound quality of the record player can only be achieved if the cartridge is correctly adjusted. Particular
tools like the Pro-Ject alignment tool are required to accomplish this job properly.
If you are not well acquainted with the adjustment of cartridges you are advised 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 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.

Maintenance and cleaning

Your record player requires little or no regular maintenance. Remove dust with a slightly moistened antistatic
cloth. Never use a dry cloth because this will create static electricity which attract more dust! Antistatic
cleaning fluids are available at specialist stores but must be applied sparingly to avoid damage to rubber
parts. It is recommended to fit the needle cover before cleaning or maintenance is carried out to avoid damage.
If the player is not used over a long period of time the drive belt can be removed to prevent unequal stretching.
