horizontal position only. Do not place heavy objects on the component.

Keep the component and compact discs away from equipment with strong magnets, such as microwave ovens or large loudspeakers.

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place vessels filled with liquids, such as vases, on the component.

Touch-Sensitive Buttons

On the front fascia of this AMR component are touch-sensitive buttons. Due to the wide variance of climes around the world, instances may arise where to activate a button:

-the touching finger may be required to be in contact with both the button and the front fascia to register;

-the touching finger may have to touch the chassis to discharge any static electricity prior to button selection.

Running-In

AMR estimates that the CD-77 may take between 300-500 operating hours for all of the internal components to be fully-broken in. Please anticipate the sonic performance of the CD-77 to settle only after it has been used for this approximate length of time.

Stand-By

Please note that the solid state section needs to find its equilibrium and due to the (unavoidable) use of electro- lytic capacitors (and an effect called soakage) around 24-48 hours of ‘standby’ (or operation) are required to stabilise performance. Therefore, ‘standby’ does not shut down the solid-state sections, only the valves.
