MOON Andromeda CD Player
Installation & Placement
The MOON Andromeda Reference CD Player is very heavy. It requires reasonable ventilation to maintain an optimum and
consistent operating temperature. Consequently, it should be placed in a location with empty space around it for proper heat
dissipation. As well, it should be placed on a solid level surface. You should avoid placing it near a heat source or inside a
closed cabinet that is not well ventilated as this could compromise the CD Player’s performance and reliability. The
Andromeda’s power supply uses two toroidal transformers; even though they are well shielded, you should not place the
power supply too close to source components sensitive to EMI, such as turntables, phono preamplifiers and the Andromeda
CD Player chassis.
Once you’ve decided on a location for the Andromeda and its power supply, you should install the eight (8) pointed screw-on
cones into the threaded holes located on the bottom of the four (4) the corner posts of both the CD Player chassis & power
supply chassis. These cones will easily scratch most surfaces, therefore it’s advisable to follow these instructions: Place your
Andromeda on a soft surface (i.e. carpet) and carefully turn it so that it rests on its side. Screw one cone onto each of the
four posts. Carefully move the chassis to it’s pre-determined location. Repeat these steps for the power supply chassis.
In the event that the surface you have chosen isn’t perfectly level, each of the four (4) cones of both your Andromeda and
it’s power supply are height adjustable; carefully using your fingers, you can either raise each leg by turning the cone
underneath clockwise, or lower each leg by turning it counterclockwise.
Finally, if you have not used a CD Player before, you may be unaware that compact discs are very easily damaged, and must
be kept very clean. Always store them in their jewel cases. Dirty or finger-marked discs will reproduce music poorly.
Moreover, the player may even mute parts of a track, or be unable to find some tracks. If you need to clean a CD remember
to use a soft lint-free cloth, using a radial action (i.e. starting from the center and aiming towards the edges). Do not attempt
to clean a compact disc using a rotating motion.
