Vacuum Tubes
It is recommended that you replace the
vacuum tubes of your CD9 in sets. All
of the tubes in your CD player have
been matched to have similar operating
characteristics, to provide the best sound
quality and reliability.
Servicing
Because of its careful design and exacting
standards of manufacture, your CD9
CD player should normally require
only minimal service to maintain
its high level of performance.
Disposal and Recycling Guidelines
To dispose of this electronic product, do
not place in landfill. In accordance with
the European Union Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive
effective August 2005, this product may
contain regulated materials which upon
disposal require special reuse and recycling
processing. Please contact your dealer
or importing distributor for instructions
on proper disposal of this product in your
country. Or, contact Audio Research
Corporation (763-577-9700) for the name
of your importing distributor and how
to contact them. Packing and shipping
materials may be disposed of in a normal
manner.
Cleaning
To maintain the visual appearance of your
CD9SE, occasionally wipe the front panel
and top cover surfaces with a soft damp
(not wet) cloth to remove dust. A mild,
non-alkaline soap solution may be used to
remove fingerprints or similar smudges.
Cleaners containing abrasives should not
be used as they will damage the brushed
grain of the front panel finish, as well as
the LED display window. A dry 2-inch pure
bristle paint brush works well to remove
dust from bevels, reliefs and switches.
The CD9SE CD compartment may be gently
dusted: carefully avoid touching the laser
assembly area to prevent possible damage.
About Fuse Replacement
The CD9 has two fuses; both are located
towards the back of the chassis on the
left. One fuse is accessible with the
removal of the top cover, and the other
with the removal of the bottom panel.
See specifications for information on fuse
types.
Caution
Your CD9 contains sufficient levels of voltage
and current to be lethal. Do not tamper
with a component or parts inside the unit.
Refer any needed service to your authorized
Audio Research dealer or other qualified
technician. Should service be necessary,
please contact your Audio Research dealer,
or Audio Research Customer Service (763)
577-9700.

Vacuum Tubes
It is recommended that you replace the
vacuum tubes in your CD9SE in sets.
All of the tubes in your CD player have
been matched to have similar operating
characteristics, to provide the best sound
quality and reliability.
The vacuum tubes in your CD9SE have
been burned in, tested and electrically
matched to provide the best performance
and reliability of your preamplifier. That
said, vacuum tubes must be replaced
from time to time. The 6H30 tubes in
the CD9SE should have an expected life
of approximately 4,000 hours, while the
6550WE tube in the power supply should
have a life expectancy of approximately
2,000 hours. These life expectancies are
only approximate.
About Fuse Replacement
The CD9SE has two internal fuses. Under
normal operating, these should never
blow. If you experience an operational
problem and suspect a blown fuse, please
contact Audio Research Customer
Support for assistance.
Caution
The CD9SE contains sufficient levels of
voltage and current to be lethal. The
CD9SE power supply can store potentially
lethal energy in its capacitor bank for
several hours after the unit is turned
off. Do not tamper with a component
or parts inside the unit. Refer any needed
service to your authorized Audio Research
dealer or qualified technician. Should
service be necessary, please contact your
Audio Research dealer, or Audio Research
Customer Service (763) 577-9700.
