Instructions For Use. Page 7
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of
an X-RAY 24 BIT CD player.
The X-RAY uses the latest 24 bit
delta-sigma DAC technology along with
clock and data re-timing circuitry and a
highly stable CMOS oscillator master
clock to achieve an excellent technical and
sonic performance. The X-RAY's excep-
tionally low jitter gives both improved
sound quality and very consistent results
from disc to disc. In addition, for this
model Musical Fidelity developed a
sophisticated linear phase 5 pole analogue
filter which is situated after the Digital to
Analog converter to remove nearly all
digital artefacts above the audio band.
This greatly reduces the spurious noise
and aliasing breakthrough inherent in the
CD process giving improved sound quality
and consistent results with a wide range of
amplifiers.
INSTALLATION
Place your CD player on a stable, hori-
zontal, vibration-free surface where there is
no risk of it falling over or being subjected
to vibrations. Avoid placing your CD player
next to radiators or in direct sunlight.
Protect your CD player from humid-
ity. Avoid placing it under a window. Do not
place any containers filled with water on the
CD player e.g. flower vases or potted
plants. If water does enter the CD player,
immediately pull out the mains plug from the
wall socket and inform your dealer, who
should then check the set before you use it
again.
- Liquid entering the CD player
could cause dangerous short-circuits
which, in the worst case, could cause a
fire.
If you move your CD player from a
cold place to a warm place, leave it switched
off for a few hours before using it again. Con-
densation could form inside the unit and must
be allowed to evaporate.
CLEANING
Before cleaning the CD player always
switch off the main switch and remove the
mains plug from the wall outlet. Clean the
housing and the remote control unit using a
moist cloth. We do not advise that you use
any solvents, white spirits, thinners, etc. as
they could damage the surface finish of the
unit.
AUDIO CONNECTION
The CD player should be connected
to an amplifier (CD or Aux input) by an in-
terconnect cable with RCA/phono type
connectors. This is connected to the Left
and Right AUDIO OUTPUT sockets on the
rear panel of the CD player. Alternatively,
you can use the DIGITAL OUTPUTS (Co-
axial or Optical) for connection to an out-
board Digital-to-Analogue converter or dig-
ital amplifier.
NOTES ON USING COMPACT-
DISCS
Always hold discs by the edges and
make sure they remain clean. Do not touch
the surface. Do not stick any paper or ad-
hesive tape to either side of the disc. Keep
discs away from direct sunlight and heat
sources, such as radiators. Do not leave
discs in a car which is parked in direct sun-
light, since the temperature inside the car can
become extremely high. Clean discs with a
cloth before playing them. Do not use any
solvents such as benzene, thinners, commer-
cially available cleaners or antistatic spray
intended for analogue discs, to clean your
compact discs. After playing, always store
a disc in its case again.
