deepest musical satisfaction.
Like you, we are committed music lovers and audiophiles. We
designed the M1 to be just the sort of product we would like to buy
ourselves; excellent technical performance, great build quality and
exquisite aesthetics. These, when coupled with the extaordinarily
uncoloured neutral sound of the M1 are the hallmarks of a true audiophile classic.
Thank you for your purchase - we all wish you many years of happy
listening.

GENERAL ADVICE
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS and USER INFORMATION
Your new M1 turntable is designed and built to provide trouble-free performance, but as with
all electronic devices it is necessary to observe a few precautions:
Only connect the accessory power supply to a mains outlet having the same voltage as marked
on the rear label - the input voltage is not user-adjustable.
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 for example drinks cans, on or near the
top surface. 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 turntable motor unit or power supply is dangerous, and may cause electric
shock or fire hazard.
Do not place either unit near heat sources such as radiators, direct sunlight or other equipment. Although the mains power supply unit has been designed so that it may be left switched
on indefinitely, please note that it becomes slightly warm to the touch. This is normal, but the
power supply must be operated in a well ventilated area.
Do not remove covers or try to gain access to the inside. There are no internal user adjustments. Refer all service work to an authorised Musical Fidelity agent.
NOTE: Unauthorised opening of the equipment will invalidate any warranty claims.
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 M1, please quote the serial
numberlocated on the rear panel of the power supply unit.
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (R.F.I)
This product has been tested to ensure that its operation is not adversely affected by normal
background levels of R.F.I., and that it does not itself generate excessive amounts of interference. However, if a problem persists, please contact your Musical Fidelity agent.
