Whenthe CD-1is connected to the ACoutlet you will hear a soft clicking sound.Thedisplay on the front panel mayilluminate during initial powerup; if not, depressthe powerbutton and the display will comeon.

NOTE:While the CD-1has superb regulation and does not require a dedicated ACcircuit, westrongly advise against any connections through extension cords or mul- tiple ACadaptors. Highquality 15 amplineconditioners or groundedACstrips are acceptable. Donot removeor bypass the groundplnon the end of the ACcord. This maycause RFI(radio frequencyinterference) to be in- duced into your playback system.

CAUTION:Whenmaking connections to this component or any other makesure th~ poweramplifier is OFFand the preamplifier is in the MUTEor STANDBYmode.
