USE & PLACEMENT OF CD-PLAYER
The HEGEL CDP4A should be placed on a flat, hard surface for proper isolation against vibrations.
The CD-player must
NEVER
be placed on top of an integrated amplifier or power amplifier. The heat
from the amplifier will make the laser pick-up system work worse than normal, and also the life-time
of the laser unit will be reduced when heated up by an amplifier standing directly below the CD-
player.
A certain space is required for air circulation above and below the CD-player. The CD-player must
never be placed on a carpet or similar surface that obstructs air circulation through the component. Nor
must it be covered while in use or placed on a narrow shelf or in another confined space.
The CD-player performs best after being switched on for about 30 minutes for heating up.
The CD-player will need some time of break-in before maximum sound quality can be experienced.
CLEANING
The top cover, side panels and knobs are made of brushed and anodized aluminum, while the front
panel is made of glass bead blasted and anodized aluminum. Fingerprints or stains on the front panel,
knobs or top cover can be removed with a cloth moistened with warm water or with a mild detergent
suitable for cleaning mirrors and bathroom.
TRANSPORT AND SHIPPING OF CD-PLAYER
If you are moving the CD-player over a longer distance or packing the CD-player for shipping please
follow these instructions to secure the CD-drawer from opening during transport:
1.
First put a plastic bag around the CD-player, placing the front panel of the CD-player tight against
one of the sides of the plastic bag.
2.
Insert the CD-player in the two white shock absorbers, one in the left side and one in the right side
of the player
3.
Use a 40-50 mm wide plastic tape to make two tight turns around the CD-player in the front to
back direction, being sure to hold the CD-drawer and knobs in place during transport.
We wish you good luck in setting up and connecting your new CD-player and hope that it will give
you many years of joyful natural sounding music experiences!
