Myth 9 Service Manual

The Sphinx Myth 9 design
This service manual will help you to optimally
service and repair the Sphinx Myth 9 CD player.
The heart of this very special CD player is formed
by the newest Philips CDM-12.4 transport
mechanism.
Two independent Bitstream D/A converters will
guarantee unsurpassed detailed audio
reproduction.
A unique feature is that the output sections are of a
totally discrete Class A design.
The “O core” power transformer uses completely
separated sections for the digital and analogue
supply. Combined with the integrated power line
suppression filter this ensures an extremely high
S/N ratio.
Almost all functions are accessible with the supplied
Sphinx
Remote Control
.
To obtain the maximum quality from this CD player
it is necessary to use it with top quality audio
components, preferably with other Sphinx
components.
1. UNPACKING
Before leaving the factory every Myth 9 is subjected
to stringent and extensive technical and exterior
quality inspection.
This ensures you will enjoy many years of high
quality audio performance from a perfect-looking
product.
After unpacking your Myth 9 we therefore
recommend you carefully check it for any transport
damage.
Even if the component is in perfect condition you
should still keep the packing materials. If you need
to transport your Myth 9 at a later time it will be best
protected by the original packing materials.
