Introduction Thank you for purchasing the ADVANTAGE S-1

Disc-player.

Your S-1 is a state-of-the-art unit, and has been
assembled by highly skilled ADVANTAGE craftsmen
to provide you with many years of listening pleasure.
Our unit’s esteem arises from the way we handle
music-signals. ADVANTAGE develops products for
people who wish absolutely natural
and enjoyable music reproduction.

“BURN-IN” Due to the extremely short signal paths designed

and built into this piece of equipment, a significant
"burn-in" period is required before the unit will reach
its maximum sonic potential.

We recommend the unit be left on (or in standby
mode) at all times, especially during the first 5-6
weeks of operation, in order to speed the "burn-in"
process.
For best results, the S-1 should be left on or in the
standby mode at all times. The unit should not be
switched off via the master ON/OFF switch unless
the unit will not be being used for a significant
period of time (during vacations, etc.).

Design Reduction is the principle for the shaping of all

ADVANTAGE components. The unobtrusive design
harmonizes with almost every environment and does
not compete with your personal sphere. The form
refers to the tonal ability of the product line, whose
composure and strength manifests a well-balanced
equilibrium.

Balanced signal transmission Balanced signal transmission means that two signal

lines are used which carry the same signal with
opposite phase. On the receiving side, the signals
are mixed. Since any noise interference that has
arisen during transmission will be present in both
lines with identical phase, such noise is cancelled
out, leaving only the pure original signal. Balanced
connection therefore keeps the signal transfer free
from any kind of interference.

Unpacking When you have received your S-1, you should make

sure that the shipping box is in its original state. If
however that should not be the case, please
contact your dealer. Please unpack your unit
carefully; there are several parts that can be
damaged. We suggest that you to keep your box
and shock absorbers. Save your plastic bag, inserts,
and carton. You may need these later for
transporting the S-1 or for shipment in the event it
ever requires factory service. Record the serial
number (on rear panel) here for future reference:
____________________

Please make sure that your shipping box contains
the
following:
1 pc ADVANTAGE S-1
1 pc Remote control
1 pc Power cord
2 pcs Batteries LR03 (AAA)

Cleaning To clean the unit, use only a soft tissue (Kleenex

type). Never apply abrasive cleaners to the outer
surfaces of the unit.

Note!

At no time should liquid cleaners be applied directly
to the S-1, as direct application of liquids may result
in damage to electronic components within the unit.

Installation Install the Compact Disc player on a level, vibration-

free surface. Severe vibration, or operation in a tilted
position, may cause the player to mis-track. The
player may be stacked with other stereo
components, as long as there is adequate
ventilation around it.

If the player is placed in close proximity to a radio
tuner (AM or FM), a VCR, or a television set, the
operation of its digital circuits may produce
interference that would affect reception of weak
broadcast signals. If this occurs, move the CD
player away from other devices or switch it off when
viewing or listening to broadcasts.
