Operating the CD 5.3 

 

We recommend that you leave your MOON CD

 

5.3  CD Player powered up at all times to maintain optimal performance.  In 

the event that you plan to be away from your home for a few days, powering off the CD Player may not be a bad idea.  Once 
fully “broken-in”, please keep in mind that your CD

 

5.3 will require several hours of playing time before it reaches its peak 

performance after you’ve powered it up again.
