Instructions for use

Thank you for purchasing the M1 CLiC “Universal Music Controller”.

The M1 CLiC is an all-in-one internet radio, network music player, DAC and analogue preamp offering the ultimate in networked and portable music, as well as home audio flexibility.

The M1 CLiC has been carefully designed to be partnered with M1 series, and also matches aesthetically with M3 and M6 series products. These combinations will yield one of the best high-fidelity systems available at any price.

Used 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 there are any questions about the M1 CLiC, please consult the dealer who is there to help and advise.

General Advice

Installation, precautions and user information

This new M1 CLiC 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.

•The M1 CLiC has a built-in universal power supply that can be connected to 50-60Hz A.C. mains of between 80 to 253V rms without modification.

•Always ensure that when disconnecting and reconnecting 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 M1 CLiC, 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 the dealer, who should then check the unit before further use. Entry of liquid into the M1 CLiC 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 user adjustments or fuses to change without qualification. 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 the audio system during electrical storms, remove the mains plugs.

If after-sales service is required, to help the dealer identify the M1 CLiC please quote the serial number located on the rear panel of the unit.

Important note:

In normal operation, the unit dissipates a small quantity of power at all times, and it is important that it is adequately ventilated. The M1 CLiC must be protected from humidity – if the unit is moved from a cold place to a warm room, leave the unit for an hour or so to allow sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate.

Web-based updates

The M1 CLiC has a flexible design that allows updates to be issued from time to time. These updates are downloaded via the network and into the unit itself directly, whereupon it will either ask to be switched off or reset by itself.

Please note down any important settings, if required, before updating, as all user settings are reset during this process.

The nature of these updates will not normally affect the sound quality, but functionality to a greater or lesser degree, and may or may not provide further features that were not originally available.

The only update available is that on the website. We do not make or allow any thirdcustompartyupdates or configurations,

and beware of third parties offering to do so. The ONLY update supported by Musical Fidelity is that which currently resides on the website.

It is recommended the unit and network is left alone during the update process to ensure timely completion. Update speed depends on internet speed as well as coinciding network traffic to other computers or devices sharing the same network router/gateway. Always allow for at least 5 minutes for broadband/ADSL (assuming no other network traffic present) or longer for slower or busier connections.
