INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Thank you for purchasing the Musical Fidelity CD Pre.

Used properly and carefully, it should give many years of outstanding

musical reproduction.

The CD Pre uses the latest 24 Bit DAC technology and jitter reduction

techniques to achieve both an excellent technical specification and

unparalleled sound quality.

Æsthetically, the CD Pre is a perfect match for the A3 FM tuner and

A3 amplifier or A300 integrated amplifier.

Together these components form one of the finest hi-fi systems available.

Dust regularly with a soft duster or soft brush but be careful when using

cleaning or polishing agents - they may harm the surface finish.

If you have any questions about your audio system,

please consult your dealer who is there to help and advise.
