product and is so labelled. Do not
attempt to repair any part
of the CD draw.
Clean the outside surfaces with a dry
lint free cloth. Some cleaning and pol-
ishing agents may cause marking to
the surface finishes.
All electronics is susceptible to local
lightening strikes affecting the mains
cabling in your home. When not in
use, the safest option is to remove
the mains plug from the wall socket.
5. Set up
The mains lead supplied with this prod-
uct has an IEC mains socket which
plugs into the IEC connector on the
rear panel. The other end is fitted
with an appropriate mains plug of your
country. In the UK this is the stan-
dard UK13A plug.
The high-quality performance of this
CD Player will be impaired if the elec-
trical supply to it is in poor condition.
We recommend that you use a high
quality wall socket directly, or a multi-
way socket unit designed for audio
use. If you live in an area with very
‘dirty’ or variable mains supply, you
may also wish to try a power supply
conditioner to optimize fidelity.
We recommend that you place the CD
Player on a suitable rack, table or plat-
form support, offering maximum isola-
tion from
mechanical vibration.
The RCA phono output connections
should be connected to an amplifier or
audio equipment with an output vol-
ume control. We recommend that you
use high-quality signal cables for opti-
mum performance. The digital signal
output can be used into a DAC using a
50 ohm digital signal cable.
See illustration on page 4.
6. Operation
Control from facia.
The CD Player power on-off switch is
located on the left side of the front
fascia. The blue LED light above the
switch is illuminated when the Player
is on. Some operating controls are
switched from the front facia.
See illustration on page 5.
We recommend that the CD Player is
turned on half an hour or more before
use. This is not essential but we think
it sounds better once the valve has
‘warmed up’. We do not recommend
that you leave it on all the time but it
will come to no harm if you do. From
new, you will find that the AT3000 will
need up to 100 initial hours use to
achieve its optimum audiophile sound.
Remote control.
The remote control offers all the oper-
ating functions except the power
on/off switch.
