Tri-Vista

PREAMPLIFIER

INSTRUCTIONS  FOR  USE

Thank you for purchasing the Musical Fidelity

Tri-Vista Pre remote control preamplifier.

Used properly and carefully, it should give you many

years of outstanding musical reproduction.

Aesthetically, the Tri-Vista Pre is a perfect match for the

Tri-Vista Power amplifier and Tri-Vista SACD player,

which are part of our 20th Anniversary series.

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

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.
