Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the X10-D. We sincerely hope that by

improving your CD player's sonic performance it will bring you
many years of listening pleasure.

Our research over many years has shown that the sound quality
of many CD players can be greatly affected by the type of amplifier
and interconnects used.

This is because the amplifier and interconnects represent a
variable resistive inductive and capacitive load to the CD players
output stage which adversely affects its performance.

The X10-D solves this problem by presenting a theoretically
perfect, and perhaps more importantly, absolutely consistent load to
the CD player allowing its output stage to realise its maximum
potential.

The X10-D, as it were, takes the load off the CD players shoul­ders and allows it to perform as its designers and manufacturers
originally intended.

Installation Precautions

This Hi-Fi product has been tested to ensure that its operation
will not be adversely affected by normal background levels of R.F.I.
(Radio Frequency Interference). It is possible that if the unit is sub­jected to abnormally high levels of R.F.I. the unit may not perform as
expected. In the unlikely event of this happening please contact
Musical Fidelity's service department.

Do not remove any covers. The X10-D will not be covered
under warranty if it has been tampered with. There are no adjust­ments within. Please refer all service work to an authorised Musical
Fidelity agent.

Connections

All connections should be made before the mains adaptor is
plugged in.

The X10-D is easy to connect into your system. Simply connect
the left and right outputs from your CD player to the X10-D inputs.
Then connect the X10-D left and right outputs to the CD inputs of
your amplifier system. Once this connection is made plug in the
mains adaptor, allow the X10-D a minute or so for the valves to
warm up, then sit back and enjoy the music.

Your new X10-D is designed and built to provide trouble-free
performance, as with all electronic devices it is however necessary to
observe a few precautions. Please ensure that you have complied
with these before you connect the power to your X10-D. Retain this
guide for future reference.

nn Do not use the X10-D near water.
nn Keep the X10-D away from heat sources such as

radiators.

nn Only use the mains adaptor provided. The use of

other adaptors could seriously damage your X10-D.

nn Place all connecting cables where they are not likely

to be walked on or trapped by items placed on them.
