INSTALLATION

Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of the new M3CD player. This unit will give top quality performance when used as a top quality CD player delivering the best performance possible from CD

Cleaning

Before cleaning the unit, switch off power at the mains switch and remove the mains plug from the wall socket. Clean the cabinet and remote control unit using a moist cloth. Using solvents, white spirit or thinners is not advised, as they could damage the surface finish.

Installation

Position the M3CD on a stable, horizontal surface where there is no risk of it being knocked, or subjected to vibration such as from loudspeakers.

Important note:

In normal operation, the unit dissipates a small quantity of power at all times, and it is important that it is adequately ventilated. The top and bottom are perforated to allow the smooth flow of heat through the unit. It is therefore not recommended that the unit is enclosed in a cabinet or placed where the ventilation holes are impeded as this could result in excessive heat build-up.

The M3CD must be protected from humidity – if the unit is moved from a cold place to a warm room, leave the unit for an hour or so to allow sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate.

Power Connections

The M3CD is supplied with a standard IEC mains cable which plugs into the IEC socket at the back of the unit

Audio Connections

RCA audio outputs: Use good quality RCA phono audio cables (fully connected signal and ground), for optimum signal transfer.

Digital Connections

RCA digital (SP/DIF) output: Connect RCA digital receiver to RCA digital outputs. Use good quality fully connected (signal and ground) coaxial digital cables for optimum RCA digital signal transfer.

Optical (TOSLINK) output: Connect optical digital receiver to optical output. Use good quality “Toslink” cables, for optimum signal transfer.
