User Instructions

Welcome to the world of Cyrus

Congratulations on your choice of Cyrus Hi-fi products. Our 

state-of-the-art design technology and outstanding quality 

of  manufacture  has  won  countless  awards  around  the 

world.  We are confident that you will derive great pleasure 

from  owning  a  product  from  one  of  the  most  recognised 

and respected manufacturers of hi-fi equipment.
Now  is  a  good  time  to  register  your  new  Cyrus  product. 

Registration  takes  only  a  few  minutes,  brings  the  added 

benefit of a full two year factory warranty and adds you to 

our mailing list for future product updates and upgrades. To 

register, visit www.cyrusaudio.com/register.
Please read these instructions carefully before commencing 

installation. They provide full guidance to help you install 

your preamplifier safely and correctly.

Preparations for Installation

Before  installing  your  Cyrus  preamplifier  check  that  the 

following items are included in the accessory box.

•  Power Cable
• 

Remote Handset with batteries

• 

2 x Phono leads for MC-BUS connection

• 

Quick-start guide

After removing these items, please retain the packaging.
Install  the  preamplifier  in  a  well  ventilated  location  away 

from sources of high temperature, dust or humidity. Never 

stand the preamplifier under another unit or on any surface 

likely to obstruct its cooling or ventilation.

Adjustable feet

The product feet are adjustable for height. As supplied, all 

feet are set for minimum height.
If required, one or more of the feet may be adjusted to level 

the product when placed on an uneven surface.

• 

Determine which foot will require adjustment.

•  Raise the chassis slightly.
• 

Grip the foot and unscrew it slightly from the baseplate.

• 

Re-check the stability of the product and adjust further 

if necessary.

CAUTION: Never unscrew any of the feet by more than a 

half-turn  to  avoid  any  possibility  of  the  foot  becoming 

detached from the baseplate. This would leave an exposed 

thread  under  the  product  which  may  damage  furnishings 

etc.
