Initial Setup
• Carefully remove the ProLogue Eight from its packaging.
• Use the white gloves to prevent fingerprint smudges.
• Remove the tube cage by carefully pulling it up and away from the CD player.
• Check that each tube is firmly seated in its socket. Use gloves.
• Replace cage back in its place if desired.
• Ensure that the power switch is off (down).
• Connect output of CD player with input of pre amplifier or integrated amplifier.
• Plug the power cord into the CD player, then into the wall socket.
• Switch the CD player on; the output will be muted for 30 seconds while the tubes warm up.
• Switch the amplification on after the mute of the CD player is released.
The tubes will be warmed up and ready to use in two to three minutes. And like all components,
the ProLogue Eight CD Player takes approximately 100 hours to fully break-in. However, it is not
necessary to have a CD playing to break in the player—simply leave the unit powered up.

Fuse Protection
A note on fuses
: NEVER wrap fuses in aluminium foil as a stop-gap to buying new ones. Fuses
are safety valves. They should always be replaced with the exact same value and type.
NEVER
attempt to check or replace a fuse while the CD player is plugged in. Turn off the power amp
first and after that the preamplifier and then the CD player. Unplug all speakers, components and AC
cords before continuing. Wait 10 minutes to let tubes cool down and the circuit to fully discharge.
Mains Fuse
:
The mains fuse is located on the rear of the CD player, just below the power cord socket (see picture
on right).
The fuse rating is 2 Amp slow blow 5 x 20mm for 100-120VAC and 1 Amp slow blow 5 x 20mm for
200-240VAC.
Replace with the same type and value fuse only!
The fuse holder can be snapped out using a small slotted flat-head screwdriver.
