Installation, Precautions & User Information 

This new Nu-Vista 800 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 Nu-Vista 800 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 Nu-Vista 800, 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 Nu-Vista 
800 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 Nu-Vista 800 please quote the serial number 
located on the rear panel of the unit.
