INSTALLATION

Please take a moment to read these notes before installing your D Series Compact Disc player, they will enable you to get the best performance and prolong the life of the product.

This unit may be installed on any sturdy, level surface. Since the power transformers generate a magnetic hum field of moderate strength, a turntable should not be located nearby.

The unit requires ventilation. Do not situate it on a rug or other soft surface and do not obstruct any air inlets or outlet grilles.

Do not place in an enclosed area such as a bookcase or in a cabinet.

Never allow this unit to come into contact with water or other liquids and ensure that small objects do not fall through any ventilation grille. In either event, switch it off immediately, disconnect it from the mains supply and contact your dealer for advice.

Do not route the power cable so that it can be walked upon or damaged by other items near it.

Like all audiophile electronic components, this unit will perform best once it has warmed up. When using for the first time it is advisable that it is left on, playing music, for at least 36 hours prior to critical listening. For subsequent use, a warm up period of 10-15 minutes is recommended for maximum enjoyment.

Do not plug your CD player directly into a power amplifier unless it has a variable output level.

If you do not intend to use this unit for a long period, switch it off and unplug it from the mains socket.

To clean the unit, wipe its case with a moist, lint-free cloth. Do not use any cleaning fluids containing alcohol, ammonia or abrasives. Do not spray an aerosol at or near your CD player.

This product is not user serviceable, never attempt to repair, disassemble or reconstruct the unit if there seems to be a problem. A serious electric shock could result if this precautionary measure is ignored. In the event of a problem or failure, please contact your dealer.
