DISC PLAYER

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Thank you for purchasing the Musical Fidelity kW SACD 24 bit CD Player.

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

reproduction.

This model uses the latest 24 Bit DAC technology and jitter reduction techniques to

achieve both an excellent technical specification and unparalleled sound quality.

Aesthetically, the kW SACD is a perfect match for the

kW 750 Power Amplifier, kW Hybrid Line Preamplifier and kW Phono.

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.

GENERAL ADVICE

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS and USER INFORMATION

Your new kW SACD 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 kW SACD 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 SACD player, 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 player 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 kW SACD player please quote the serial number located on the rear panel of the unit.
