Pick-up type : GH6C005B
Wavelength : 780nm
RADIO - FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (RFI)
This equipment uses and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and operated in accordance with the
instructions, may cause interference to radio communications.
However, it is designed to radiate minimal levels of RFI, and accordingly been testing to North American standards
(FCC regulations - limits for a class B digital device pursuant to part 15 of the rules). These requirements are intended
to provide reasonable protection against excessive interference in a residential installation.
Conversely, the product has also been checked to ensure that its own operation is not adversely affected by normal
background levels of RFI received externally.
However, if interference is experienced, for instance to radio or TV broadcasts, the user is recommended to try one or
more of the following measures:
• Identify the source of interference by turning off power to the CD player or other equipment individually, and
checking whether the problem disappears.
• Re-orientate or relocate the receiving aerial.
• Move the CD player away from the receiver.
• Connect the CD player to a mains outlet on a different circuit from the receiver.
• Consult a dealer or experienced TV/radio technician for help.
If a problem persists, please contact Musical Fidelity's service department.

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS and USER INFORMATION
GENERAL ADVICE
Your new A1008 is designed and built to provide trouble-free performance, but as with all electronic devices it is
necessary to observe a few precautions:
Heed all warnings shown on the back of the product.
Only connect the A1008 to a mains outlet having the same voltage as marked at the back of the unit.
Always ensure that when disconnecting and reconnecting your audio equipment the mains supply is switched
off.
Position the mains lead and signal interconnects where they are not likely to be walked on or trapped by items
placed on them.
Do not use near water, or place water-filled containers on the A1008, for example, a flower vase or potted
plants. If water does spill inside, immediately pull out the mains plug from the wall socket and inform
your dealer, who should then check the unit before further use. Entry of liquid into the A1008 is
dangerous, and may cause electric shock or fire hazard.
Do not place the unit near direct heat sources such as radiators, direct sunlight or other equipment.
Do not remove any covers or try to gain access to the inside. There are no internal adjustments or fuses you
can replace yourself. Refer all service work to an authorised Musical Fidelity agent.
Note: Unauthorised opening of the equipment will invalidate any warranty claim.
Dust regularly with a soft cloth or soft brush but be careful when using cleaning or polishing agents - they may
harm the surface finish.
The electronics in modern hi-fi equipment is complex and may, therefore, be adversely affected or damaged by
lightning. For protection of your audio system during electrical storms, remove the mains plugs and disconnect any
aerial lead.
If after-sales service is required, to help your dealer identify the A1008 please quote the serial number located on the
rear panel of the unit.
