GENERAL ADVICE

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS AND USER INFORMATION

Your CD Pre24 is designed and built to provide trouble-free performance, but as with all electronic devices it is necessary to observe a few precautions:

*Note all warnings shown on the back of the unit.

*Only connect the CD Pre24 to a mains outlet having the same voltage as marked on the back of

the unit.

*Always switch off the mains supply before before connecting or disconnecting your audio equipment.

*Position the mains lead and signal interconnects where they are not likely to be walked on or trapped by items placed on them.

*Do not use near water, or place water-filled containers on the pre-amplifier, for example flower vases or potted plants. If water does spill into the equipment, immediately pull out the mains plug from the wall socket and inform your dealer, who should then check the unit before further use. Entry of liquid into the pre-amplifier is dangerous, and may cause electric shock or fire hazard.

*Do not place the unit near heat sources such as radiators, direct sunlight or above other equipment which becomes warm with use. Do not obstruct ventilation slots.

*Do not remove any covers or try to gain access - refer all service work to an authorised Musical Fidelity agent. There are no internal user adjustments.

NOTE: Unauthorised opening of the equipment will invalidate any warranty claims.

*There are fuses inside this product. In the unlikely event that one blows, refer the unit to your audio dealer.

Do NOT try to replace the fuse yourself as this will invalidate the warranty.

*Dust regularly with a soft duster or soft brush. For more thorough cleaning of the cabinet and remote control, use a moist cloth. We do not recommend the use of solvents such as white spirit or thinners, as they could damage the surface finish.

*The electronics in modern hi-fi equipment is complex and may, therefore, be adversely affected or damaged by lightning. For protection of of your audio system during electrical storms, remove the mains plugs and disconnect any aerial lead.

*If after-sales service is required, to help your dealer identify the CD Pre24, please quote the serial number located on the rear panel of the unit.
