MOON SuperNova CD Player
Installation & Placement
The MOON SuperNova 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
SuperNova uses two toroidal transformers; even though they are well shielded, you should not place the player too close to
source components sensitive to EMI, such as turntables and phono preamplifiers.
You should never place another component
directly on top of this CD Player.
Once you’ve decided on a location for the SuperNova, you should install the four (4) pointed screw-on cones into the
threaded holes located on the bottom of the four (4) the corner posts of the CD Player chassis. These cones will easily scratch
most surfaces, therefore it’s advisable to follow these instructions: Place your SuperNova 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.
In the event that the surface you have chosen isn’t perfectly level, each of the four (4) cones on your SuperNova 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.
