Dear Customer,
Thank you for purchasing ARIA.

This unit provides ease of use and sonics of the highest quality. Please pay close attention to this instruction manual, and
read it fully before attempting to operate. It is designed to ensure that you maximise your pleasure of ARIA and familiarise
you with its many unique functions.

CHECKING

Check that the carton has no damage. Should you have any doubt
about its condition, please do not hesitate to contact your dealer.

UNPACKING

Very carefully remove the unit from the box, taking care to
preserve all the packing material. It is good practice to put the
carton and its contents into an outer plastic bag and deposit it
somewhere safe and dry. In the unlikely event that your unit
needs to be sent back to either your dealer or distributor, it must
be sent in the original packing material. Failure to observe this will
invalidate your warranty.

In order to obtain the maximum performance of ARIA, it is
important to follow the installation instructions.
Wherever possible, we recommend that ARIA is installed in an
audio rack or other suitable furniture that provides sufficient
ventilation.

CONNECTIONS

Having verified that the ON/OFF switch is on OFF position,
connect the mains leads provided to the rear of the unit and to the
wall socket.
Connect the interconnect cable from the rear of ARIA to your
amplifier input. Connect the Digital out if required.

COVER CLEANING

To clean up the lid, use a soft rag, out of cotton preferably and
window cleaner.
We advise you to not use any products containing silicone and to
avoid the use of solvents. This could lead to damage irremediably
the shiny and transparent aspect of the cover.
