INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Thank you for purchasing the Musical Fidelity CD Pre.

Used properly and carefully, it should give many years of outstanding

musical reproduction.

The CD Pre uses the latest 24 Bit DAC technology and jitter reduction

techniques to achieve both an excellent technical specification and

unparalleled sound quality.

Æsthetically, the CD Pre is a perfect match for the A3 FM tuner and

A3 amplifier or A300 integrated amplifier.

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.

USER INFORMATION

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 and other

electronic equipment.

However, it is designed to minimise RFI, and accordingly been tested to North American stan-

dards (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 rec-

ommended to try one or more of the following measures:

• Identify the source of interference by turning off power to the CD Pre or other

equipment individually, and checking whether the problem then disappears.

• Re-orientate or relocate the receiving aerial.

• Move the CD Pre away from the receiver.

• Connect the CD Pre 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.

GENERAL ADVICE

INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS AND USER INFORMATION

Your CD Pre is designed and built to provide trouble-free performance, but as with all

electronic devices it is necessary to observe a few precautions:

* Note all warnings shown on the back of the unit.

* Only connect the CD Pre to a mains outlet having the same voltage as marked on the back of

the unit.

* Always switch off the mains supply before before connecting or disconnecting your audio

equipment.

* Position the mains 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 pre-amplifier, for example

flower vases or potted plants. If water does spill into the equipment, 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 pre-amplifier is dangerous, and may cause

electric shock or fire hazard.

* Do not place the unit near heat sources such as radiators, direct sunlight or above other

equipment which becomes warm with use. Do not obstruct ventilation slots.

* Do not remove any covers or try to gain access - refer all service work to an authorised

Musical Fidelity agent. There are no internal user adjustments.

NOTE: Unauthorised opening of the equipment will invalidate any warranty claims.

* There are fuses inside this product. In the unlikely event that one blows, refer the unit to

your audio dealer.

Do NOT try to replace the fuse yourself as this will invalidate the warranty.

* Dust regularly with a soft duster or soft brush. For more thorough cleaning of the cabinet and

remote control, use a moist cloth. We do not recommend the use of solvents such as white

spirit or thinners, as they could damage 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 of your audio system during electrical

storms, remove the mains plugs and disconnect any aerial lead.

* If after-sales service is required, to help your dealer identify the CD Pre, please quote the

serial number located on the rear panel of the unit.

REMOTE CONTROL

Issue 1: January 2002

REMOTE CONTROL

The remote control enables most functions of the pre-amplifier to be operated from a conven-

ient distance.

Equivalent buttons on the remote handset have the same functions as the those on the front

panel of the unit.

Some operations are only available via the handset.

As the remote control uses an invisible infra-red light beam, the transmitter must be pointed

directly towards the receiver window on the front of the pre-amplifier, without visual obstruc-

tion between them.

If the range of the remote control greatly decreases, replace the batteries with new ones.

Do not mix old and new batteries - four are required, type SUM-4, AAA or LR03.

MUSICAL FIDELITY

BEFORE CONNECTING . . . . . . .

Ensure that mains power to the various

components of your audio system is

switched off. Please note that audio con-

necting leads are not supplied with this

product.

OUTPUT CONNECTION

The CD Pre should be connected to an ana-

logue amplifier input by audio cables with

RCA/phono type plugs. These link the left

and right PRE OUT sockets on the rear

panel of the CD Pre to corresponding line

input sockets on the amplifier. Do not use

any sockets on the amplifier intended for

“vinyl” phono cartridge input, as the sensi-

tive circuit will overload, producing a

severely distorted sound.

Alternatively, the DIGITAL OUTPUTS

(coaxial or optical) can be used for connec-

tion to suitable digital equipment.

All three types of output can be used for

feeding different equipment at the same

time, if required.

Note that the volume control only affects

analogue audio line output to the amplifier,

not digital or tape outputs.

INPUT CONNECTION

Analogue inputs are provided for three ana-

logue line sources, and two digital (optical

or co-axial).

Do not connect both co-axial and optical

leads to the same input.

Connect digital or optical input leads from

the other audio sources in your system as

required.

The internal D-to-A convertor will also han-

dle digital data from an external CD or

DVD audio source.

MAINS POWER CONNECTION

Insert the accessory IEC mains lead plug

into the rear panel socket, and then the other

end into a convenient wall outlet.

SWITCHING ON

Before applying mains power to other audio

components, check that the volume control

setting on the CD Pre is low (knob turned

anticlockwise).

Press the power switch, and the front panel

display will light to confirm that the unit is

ready for use.

INPUT SOURCE SELECTION

Choose the required input source either by

pressing the front panel function buttons or

corresponding buttons on the remote control

marked LINE 1, 2 or 3, or DIGITAL 1 or 2.

The appropriate front panel LED will then

light to confirm your selection.

In the case of digital inputs, if no digital

data is being received at the selected input

socket, the associated LED will flash instead

of remaining constant.

Turn the volume control to obtain the pre-

ferred level of sound.

CONNECTIONS & PRE-AMPLIFIER OPERATION

PRE-AMPLIFIER OPERATION

MUTE (Remote Control Only)

Pressing the MUTE button once on the

remote control will interrupt analogue out-

put to the amplifier. Pressing MUTE again

will restore audio output. The LED in the

volume control knob then goes off to indi-

cate that the outputs are muted.

This function does not affect tape monitor

or digital outputs.

If the CD Pre is powered off while still

muted, the effect will be cancelled when

next switched on.

DIGITAL MONITORING

(Remote Control Only)

Any selected input source can be monitored

with suitable external equipment from the

digital co-axial and/or optical output sock-

ets.

A digital input source (co-axial only) can be

monitored by pressing DIGITAL MONI-

TOR on the remote control. This does not

affect the selected input source, which will

still be available from the tape or digital

outputs.

This feature may be used together with a

digital output to connect to a computer

sound card or CD recorder, providing it has

digital inputs and outputs.

If the selected input source is digital (CD or

DVD audio formats only) a converted ana-

logue signal will also be available at the

tape output sockets.

Note that with this arrangement the CD

Pre’s volume control has no effect.

TAPE MONITOR (Remote Control Only)

The CD Pre can be used in analogue mode

for off-tape monitoring from 3-head tape

decks.

This allows the user to compare the original

sound with the recorded version while the

recording is being made.

In this case, the recorder’s left- and right-

hand line output sockets should be connect-

ed to the CD Pre’s tape input, and the

recorder’s line input sockets to the CD Pre’s

tape output sockets.

To record, simply select the required source

with the appropriate button on the CD Pre’s

front panel or from the remote control.

Pressing TAPE MONITOR on the remote

control will allow you to monitor what is

being recorded, and the matching blue LED

on the front panel will light to confirm oper

ation. Press TAPE MONITOR again to

cancel this mode.

On some 3-head tape decks, there is an addi

tional “tape / source” switch which should

be in the “tape” position for this arrange-

ment to function. If in doubt, refer to the

recorder’s user manual, or consult your

dealer.
