Unpacking

this manual. These boxes were designed to ensure the safe transport of the SFCD 1.
Sonic Frontiers strongly recommends the storage of these boxes in a safe, dry place. In
the event that the SFCD 1 may have to be shipped in the future, the original boxes are
the best means for the protection and safety of the player during transportation.

Quick Setup

At this point we urge you to read and understand this manual in its entirety. But if you
desire immediate action and have skill and/or past experience with tube hardware, fol­low these steps.

1. Place the player on a hard, flat, level surface.

2. Place the 6922 tubes in the tube sockets and secure the cover in place with air vents
situated at the front of the unit.

THE SFCD 1 IS NOT TO BE OPERATED WITH THE COVER OFF. THERE IS
INVISIBLE LASER RADIATION WHEN THE COVER IS OFF. AVOID DIRECT
EXPOSURE TO THE LASER BEAM.

3. Connect the SFCD 1’s left and right balanced, or single-ended outputs, to the left and
right inputs of your preamplifier or integrated amplifier.

4. Plug the detachable power cord into the SFCD 1 and into your power source.

5. Place the Power Switch at the rear of the chassis in the “on”position.

6. Press the Standby switch located on the front panel of the SFCD 1 - “no disc” should
appear in the Display Window.

7. Load and play your favorite discs.
