INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE!

Thank you for purchasing the Musical Fidelity A1 CD PRO

This model uses a professional quality top-loading CD transport, ultra low jitter 24 Bit DAC technology and

further jitter reduction techniques to achieve both an excellent technical specification and unparalleled CD

sound quality.

The A1 is a perfect answer to CD requirements in a beautifully engineered package, complementing the A1

series components.

Used properly and carefully, it should give many years of outstanding musical reproduction.

Dust regularly with a soft duster or soft brush, but be careful when using cleaning or polishing agents - they

may harm the surface finish.

If you have any questions about your audio system,

Please consult your dealer who is there to help and advise.
