GENERAL ADVICE

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS & USER INFORMATION

This new X-LPS V8 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 X-LPS V8 power supply to a mains outlet having the same voltage as marked at the back of the power supply.

Always ensure that when disconnecting and reconnecting your audio equipment the mains supply is switched off.

Position the power 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 X-LPS V8, 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 X-LPS V8 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 the audio system during electrical storms, remove the mains plugs and disconnect any aerial lead.

If after-sales service is required, to help the dealer identify the X-LPS V8 please quote the serial number located on the rear panel of the unit.
