However, it is designed to minimise RFI, and accordingly been tested to North American stan- dards (FCC regulations - limits for a class B digital device persuant to part 15 of the rules). These requirements are intended to provide reasonable protection against excessive interference in a residential installation.

Conversely, the product has also been checked to ensure that its own operation is not adversely affected by normal background levels of RFI received externally.

However, if interference is experienced, for instance to radio or TV broadcasts, the user is rec- ommended to try one or more of the following measures:

Identify the source of interference by turning off power to the CD Pre or other equipment individually, and checking whether the problem then disappears.

Re-orientate or relocate the receiving aerial.

Move the CD Pre24 away from the receiver.

Connect the CD Pre24 to a mains outlet on a different circuit from the receiver.

Consult a dealer or experienced TV/radio technician for help.

If a problem persists, please contact Musical Fidelity's service department.
