power consumption and extends tube life during periodic short term use. This feature will
keep optimal warm-up times shorter. For listening sessions spanning more than 3 days
apart, the player should be turned “ o ff ” via the MAIN POWER SWITCH (N) 

Rear Panel

This switch must be in the “on”position for the SFCD 1 to operate. When the STANDBY
button (M) has rendered the unit’s control functions off, this switch allows power to con-
tinue to circulate to sections of the player so the unit will operate at maximum efficiency
with less warm-up time required.
