2.1 Unpacking
All Cary Audio Design shipping containers have been specifically designed to protect their
contents and special care has been taken to prevent damage under normal shipping conditions.
Mishandling should be evident upon inspection of the shipping container. If the CDP 1 player
mechanism or other damage is found after unpacking and visual inspection, take care not to
destroy the evidence so that the shipping agent may inspect the damage. If necessary, document
the damage with photographs and contact the shipping company immediately.
This section describes the unpacking and installation procedures for the CDP 1 player.
Carefully remove your CDP 1 CD player from its packing carton and examine it closely for signs
of shipping damage. It is highly recommended to save all original packing cartons to protect your
CDP 1 from damage should you wish to store it or ship it for after-sales service. Replacement
cartons and packing are available at a nominal charge from Cary Audio Design, ifever required.
2.2 Placement
In general, the location of your new CDP 1 is not critical. However, certain precautions must be
taken to ensure optimum performance. Avoid extremely hot locations such as near radiators
or other heating units. Avoid getting it wet or using it near water. Do not stack the CDP 1 on top
of a power amplifier. Allow 4-6 inches (10-15cm) above the unit for proper ventilation.
2.3 Power Requirement
The CDP 1 CD player is designed to operate from AC mains current. The design AC voltage is
either 110-117V or 220-234V AC at 50-60 Hz.
