Inspection card
Unpacking the EMC 1 MK III
Immediately upon receipt of the EMC 1 MK III CD player, inspect the carton for possible damage
during shipment. The carton and packaging have been designed to provide the safest possible protection for transport of your EMC 1 MK III. Unpack the unit carefully. Save all packaging materials
for future shipment.
Important Notice
The transport screws must be removed for proper operation. When moving the CD player.
Always re-insert and tighten the transport screws to avoid severe damage to the unit!
For optimal sonic performance, the EMC 1 MK III should be burned in for a minimum time of 72
hours. The easiest way to burn in your EMC 1 MK III is to put a disc in REPEAT mode with the rest
of your system turned off. In daily operation, switch off the CD player by using the STANDBY button
on the remote. If the CD player has been switched off, allow two hours of warm-up to optimize sonic
performance. Due to high class A operation it is normal for the CD player to feel warm. Proper ventilation is important. The CD player should by no means be completely covered. A good rule of thumb
is to allow at least 5 - 8 cm (2 - 3 inches) of air sidewise and above the CD player. Please refer to
Owner’s Manual for removal of the CD transport screws.
