1. Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of
the ASTINtrew upsampling valve
buffered CD Player.  This CD Player
has been designed and manufactured
to a very high specification making it a
true audiophile product.  It will give you
many years of listening pleasure.  The
following notes explain all aspects of
its functions and will help you get the
very best from it.  

The ASTINtrew AT3000 CD Player
uses both valve and solid-state devices
within the design to offer an involving
musical experience.  As with all audio-
phile products, the other components
you use within the chain will also affect
the quality of sound you experience.
The AT3000 CD Player requires high
quality ancillary components to give its
best and works particularly well with
other AT range products.

2. Unpacking

Included with your ASTINtrew CD
Player you will find:

One mains lead with plug fitted

One remote control

One Alan key

One instruction manual

One spare fuse, located within fuse
holder, see section 7

Please retain all packing materials.
Re-packing may be necessary to trans-
port your CD Player in the future with-
out risk of damage to the equipment.

3. AC mains supply

This amplifier is designed to work on a
220-240VAC supply only.  

4. Safe use

This CD Player generates some heat
when switched on.  Do not place on a
carpet or any material where the
amplifiers feet may sink into the sur-
face, obstructing the ventilation slots
on the underside of the unit.  Entry of
liquids into the CD Player is dangerous
and may cause electric shock or fire
hazard.   

The AT3000 should be located in a
well ventilated area and kept away
from sources of heat, dust, humidity
and direct sunlight.

time with the mains cable
attached

.  

Do not attempt to change or alter any
component or part of this CD Player
except for those which are user
replaceable (see sections 6 and 7).
