1.

 

Carefully open the box. Take care not to cut through as internal parts or accessories may be damaged. To prevent 
marks on casework, a pair of gloves are provided. We recommend that you use them whilst handling. 

2.

 

Remove the Encore from its black felt bag and keep it and all the packaging. To save storage space, you can undo the 
box to allow flat‐packing. 

3.

 

Carefully position the Encore in its intended place. Connect any other required inputs and outputs, but

power lead just yet.

network “switch” and the network units are turned on. 

Note: It is vital the Encore is plugged into a working network 

at first switch on. This is to ensure that its software is up‐to‐date. 

5.

 

Plug in the mains power lead. The Encore will start up showing the Musical Fidelity logo. 

6.

 

Wait for it to finish starting up. There may be a few minutes’ delay as it automatically updates its software. Once the 
menu appears, your Encore is ready for use.
