Using AC Line Conditioners

With unit positioned on its side, screw one of the spiked feet into the bottom of each corner post.

Position the Wadia 270 where you would like it to reside in your system. We recommend choosing a solid, non-resonant, level surface for best performance. If this surface is susceptible to damage, place one of the steel coasters under each spiked foot.

You can adjust the spiked feet so that the Wadia 270 sits firmly on all four feet. Place your hand on top of the unit and gently rock it back and forth. If the unit moves, notice which foot is raised, then adjust it by screwing it down from the chassis (clockwise looking from the top of the unit). Repeat until the unit is stable.

The Wadia 270 remote control requires three type-AAA batteries, which you will find in the accessories kit. To install the batteries, remove the battery cover on the back of the remote by removing the cross-head screw. Insert the batteries as indicated on the battery holders, and replace the cover.

CHECK

VOLTAGE

A. H E R E !

v Check to make sure your Wadia 270 Compact Disc Transport has been manufactured for operation at your AC line voltage. Attempting to use your Wadia 270 Compact Disc Transport at any voltage other than specified on the rear of the unit may damage the unit. Damage caused by improper operation is not covered by Wadia warranty. If the voltage specified

is different from your AC voltage, contact your Wadia dealer.

In most cases, best performance is obtained when the Wadia 270 is plugged directly into the wall outlet using the AC power cord provided. The Wadia 270 employs extensive power-line filtering and noise suppression technology. It should not be necessary to use power conditioners or after-market power cords. If you wish to experiment with any of these devices, work closely with your dealer and most of all, trust your own ears.

USING A “SURGE PROTECTOR”

Although the Wadia 270 will resist significant voltage spikes, it can still be damaged by extreme voltage overload such as a lightening strike. This type of damage is not covered by warranty. In some circumstances, a “surge protector” can help prevent this type of damage. However, surge protectors often degrade sound quality. Each Wadia owner must weigh the protection offered by a surge protector against the sonic degradation.
