4. OPERATION
Connect the mains cable to a mains outlet.
Once you have finished connecting all components,
you can power on the Myth 9 with the mains switch
O / I
(23).
The STBY LED (13) will light. The CD player is now
in standby mode.
From now on you should switch the CD player on or
off with the
m
STBY button (13).
That way, all circuits will remain at optimum
operating temperatures and the audio quality will be
100% immediately after switching on. Additionally it
significantly increases the life span of the
component.
