Installation, Precautions & User Information 

This new M3CD is designed and built to provide trouble-free performance, but as with all electronic devices it is 
necessary to observe a few precautions: 

•  Heed all warnings shown on the back of the product. 

•  Only connect the M3CD to a mains outlet having the same voltage as marked at the back of the unit. 

•  Always ensure that when disconnecting and reconnecting your audio equipment the mains supply is 

switched off. 

•  Position the mains lead and signal interconnects where they are not likely to be walked on or trapped by 

items placed on them. 

•  Do not use near water, or place water-filled containers on the M3CD, for example, a flower vase or potted 

plants. 

If water does spill inside, immediately pull out the mains plug from the wall socket and inform 

the dealer, who should then check the unit before further use. Entry of liquid into the M3CD is 
dangerous, and may cause electric shock or fire hazard. 

•  Do not place the unit near direct heat sources such as radiators, direct sunlight or other equipment. 

•  Do not remove any covers or try to gain access to the inside. There are no user adjustments or fuses to 

change without qualification. Refer all service work to an authorised Musical Fidelity agent. 

* Note: Unauthorised opening of the equipment will invalidate any warranty claim. 

•  Dust regularly with a soft cloth or soft brush but be careful when using cleaning or polishing agents - they 

may harm the surface finish. 

The electronics in modern hi-fi equipment is complex and may, therefore, be adversely affected or damaged by 
lightning. For protection of the audio system during electrical storms, remove the mains plugs.  

If after-sales service is required, to help the dealer identify the M3CD please quote the serial number located on 
the rear panel of the unit.
