INTRODUCTION
A2 CD PLAYER
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Thank you for purchasing the Musical Fidelity A2
CD Player. Used properly and carefully, it should give
many years of outstanding musical reproduction.
The A2 CD is the result of many years painstaking
research and development. It is designed for ultra-high
definition performance.
Aesthetically, the A2 CD is a perfect match for the
A2 or A220 Class A Integrated Amplifiers. Together,
they form one of the finest hi fi systems that you can own
today.
Dust regularly with a soft duster or soft brush but do
not use cleaning or polishing agents - they may harm the
surface finish.
If you have any questions about anything in your
audio system, please consult your dealer who is there to
help and advise you.
