Ensure that the CD Player is placed in a stable location that is able to accept its weight, each
unit weighs 8 kilograms.
Isolated shelves and/or isolating feet under the unit helps prevent micro-vibrations (generated
in the room while playing music) from disturbing the internal vacuum tube structure, and
digital electronics, implementing the use of these will further enhance sound quality.
Dedicated racks are available for housing your tube equipment, contact your dealer or
Tube Technology for further information.
Do not locate the CD Player close to radiators or any other heat source, this could increase
the operating temperature.
Do not locate the CD Player too close to a turntable, as the cartridge could pick up hum from
the power transformer.
"Burning-In" is a generic term given to the basic 'running-in' of the CD Player. You may
notice a slight 'electronic-smell' from your player during the first few days of operation.
This smell is usually caused by various prints and dyes used on the components which
takes some time to evaporate. This is quite normal and there is no need for concern as
your CD Player has been extensively soak tested before leaving the factory. This
burning-in process continues with your use of the player.
This process simply allows for new components like tubes, capacitors and resistors to settle
and 'sweeten' enhancing the CD Player's sonic performance. An estimated 80 hours of
operation allows your Fusion this running-in period.
