INTRODUCTION The Hafler IRIS system is a major step forward in the world of audio technology. The IRIS CD completes an intensive engineering effort to create a series of components which offer superior performance combined with the unprece- dented convenience of the IRIS remote control. The basic operation and features of the IRIS CD Player are described in simplified form in figures 1 and 2. Although operation of the CD Player is possible by studying these diagrams only, complete appreciation of its features and operating modes can only be realized by thoroughly read- ing this owners manual. We have tried to present this information in an easy to follow format. We urge you to take the time to read through this manual as soon as possible. INSTALLATION SET-UP OF THE IRIS CD PLAYER FREE STANDING Always set the player horizontally on a flat, firm surface. Allow a minimum space of a least 14" above the player so as not to interfere with the cooling of the player. STACKED Locate the player preferably at the bottom. Never set the player directly on top of a high-power amplifier, because such an amplifier gives off a substantial amount of heat. RACK MOUNTING The IRIS CD Player is shipped with removable end caps on its front panel. Optional rack mounting ears are avail- able from the factory for mounting the unit in a standard 19 equipment rack. 1

It will also be erased if you press STOP twice in succession during playback. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CARE OF THE DISCS Although both sides of a disc are protected by a special coating, it is still advisable to treat the discs with care: Never leave discs lying around: put them back in their holders immediately after use. Never write on the printed side! Do not attach any stickers on that side. Keep the shiny surface of the disc clean. Use a soft lint-free cloth and always wipe the disc in a straight line from center to 13
