INTRODUCTION

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Thank you for purchasing the Musical Fidelity 

A300 remote control integrated Amplifier.  

Used properly and carefully, it should give you many

years of outstanding musical reproduction.

The A300 operates in Class A/B which in our experience 

offers the ultimate in musical accuracy and pleasure. 

The A300 is based on ideas and principles developed 

in the legendary XA1 Integrated amplifier 

but with subtle changes and improvements.

Aesthetically, the A300 is a perfect match for the 

A3 CD player and the A3 FM Tuner. 

Together, they form one of the finest hi-fi systems 

that you can own today.

Dust regularly with a soft duster or soft brush but be

careful using cleaning or polishing agents - they may 

harm the surface finish.

If you have any questions about anything in your 

audio system, please consult your dealer who is there to

help and advise you.
