Installation, Precautions & User Information 

This new M5si is designed and built to provide trouble-free performance, but as with all electronic devices it is 
necessary to observe a few precautions: 

•  Heed all warnings shown on the back of the product. 

•  Only connect the M5si to a mains outlet having the same voltage as marked at the back of the unit. 

•  Always  ensure  that  when  disconnecting  and  reconnecting  your  audio  equipment  the  mains  supply  is 

switched off. 

•  Position  the  mains  lead  and  signal  interconnects  where  they  are  not  likely  to  be  walked  on  or  trapped  by 

items placed on them. 

•  Do  not  use  near  water,  or  place  water-filled  containers  on  the  M5si,  for  example,  a  flower  vase  or  potted 

plants. 

If water does spill inside, immediately pull out the mains plug from the wall socket and inform 

your  dealer,  who  should  then  check  the  unit  before  further  use.  Entry  of  liquid  into  the  M5si  is 
dangerous, and may cause electric shock or fire hazard. 

•  Do not place the unit near direct heat sources such as radiators, direct sunlight or other equipment. 

•  Do not remove any covers or try to gain access to the inside. There are no internal adjustments or fuses you 

can 

replace 

yourself. 

Refer 

all 

service 

work 

to 

an 

authorised 

Musical 

Fidelity 

agent. 

* Note: Unauthorised opening of the equipment will invalidate any warranty claim. 

•  Dust regularly with a soft cloth or soft brush but be careful when using cleaning or polishing agents  - they 

may harm the surface finish. 

The electronics in modern hi-fi equipment is complex and may, therefore, be adversely affected or damaged by 
lightning. For protection of the audio system during electrical storms, remove the mains plugs.  

If after-sales service is required, to help the dealer identify the M5si please quote the serial number located on 
the rear panel of the unit.
