Musical Fidelity XRAY Owners manual

INTRODUCTION

24 BIT CD PLAYER

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Thank you for purchasing the Musical Fidelity

X-RAY 24 bit CD Player.

Used properly and carefully, it should give you many

years of outstanding musical reproduction.

The X-RAY uses the latest 24 Bit DAC technology and

jitter reduction techniques to achieve both an excellent

technical specification and unparalled sound quality.

Aesthetically, the X-RAY is a perfect match for the

X-PLORA FM tuner, X-A1 or X-A100R integrated

amplifiers or the X-P100/X-AS100 Pre/Power amplifier

combination. 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 anything in your

audio system, please consult your dealer who is there to

help and advise you.
