INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Thank you for purchasing the Musical Fidelity Tri-Vista SACD 24 bit

Super Audio Compact Disc 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 Tri-Vista SACD is a perfect match for the Tri-Vista 300

Integrated or Super Pre-amp which are part of our 20th Anniversary series.

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.

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.

However, it is designed to radiate minimal levels of RFI, and accordingly been testing 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 SACD player or other
equipment individually, and checking whether the problem disappears.

• Re-orientate or relocate the receiving aerial.

• Move the SACD player away from the receiver.

• Connect the SACD player 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.
