GENERAL ADVICE
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS and USER INFORMATION
Your new A5 CR Preamplifier is designed and built to pr ovide 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 A5 CR Preamplifier to a mains outlet having the same voltage as marked at the back
of the unit.
Always ensure that when disconnecting and reconn ecting your audio equipment the mains supply is
switched off.
Position the mains lead and signal interconnects wher e they are not likely to be walked on or trapped
by items placed on them.
Do not use near water, or place water-filled containe rs on the amplifier, 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 your dealer, who should then check the unit before further use. Entry of
liquid into the pre-amplifier 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 internal adjustments or
fuses you can replace yourself. 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 your au dio system during electrical storms, remove the
mains plugs and disconnect any aerial lead.
If after-sales service is required, to help your dealer identify the A5 CR Preamplifier please quote the
serial number located on the rear panel of the unit.
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (R.F.I)
This product has been tested to ensure that its operation is not adversely affected by normal
background levels of R.F.I., and that it does not its elf generate excessive amounts of interference.
However, if a problem persists, please contact your Musical Fidelity agent.
