INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Thank you for purchasing the Musical Fidelity CD Pre.
Used properly and carefully, it should give many years of outstanding
musical reproduction.
The CD Pre uses the latest 24 Bit DAC technology and jitter reduction
techniques to achieve both an excellent technical specification and
unparalleled sound quality.
Æsthetically, the CD Pre is a perfect match for the A3 FM tuner and
A3 amplifier or A300 integrated amplifier.
Together these components form one of the finest hi-fi systems available.
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.

USER INFORMATION
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 and other
electronic equipment.
However, it is designed to minimise RFI, and accordingly been tested to North American standards (FCC regulations - limits for a class B digital device persuant 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 Pre or other
equipment individually, and checking whether the problem then disappears.
• Re-orientate or relocate the receiving aerial.
• Move the CD Pre away from the receiver.
• Connect the CD Pre 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.

GENERAL ADVICE
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS AND USER INFORMATION
Your CD Pre is designed and built to provide trouble-free performance, but as with all
electronic devices it is necessary to observe a few precautions:
* Note all warnings shown on the back of the unit.
* Only connect the CD Pre to a mains outlet having the same voltage as marked on the back of
the unit.
* Always switch off the mains supply before before connecting or disconnecting your audio
equipment.
* 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 pre-amplifier, for example
flower vases or potted plants. If water does spill into the equipment, 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 pre-amplifier is dangerous, and may cause
electric shock or fire hazard.
* Do not place the unit near heat sources such as radiators, direct sunlight or above other
equipment which becomes warm with use. Do not obstruct ventilation slots.
* Do not remove any covers or try to gain access - refer all service work to an authorised
Musical Fidelity agent. There are no internal user adjustments.
NOTE: Unauthorised opening of the equipment will invalidate any warranty claims.
* There are fuses inside this product. In the unlikely event that one blows, refer the unit to
your audio dealer.
Do NOT try to replace the fuse yourself as this will invalidate the warranty.
* Dust regularly with a soft duster or soft brush. For more thorough cleaning of the cabinet and
remote control, use a moist cloth. We do not recommend the use of solvents such as white
spirit or thinners, as they could damage 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 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 CD Pre, please quote the
serial number located on the rear panel of the unit.
