WARNING - Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) This hi-fi product has been tested to ensure that its operation will not be ad- versely affected by normal background levels of RFI. It is possible that if this prod- uct is subjected to abnormally high levels of RFI the unit may be susceptible and not perform as expected. In the unlikely event of this happening on a regular basis, please contact Musical Fidelity's service department. The unit has also been tested to ensure that it does not radiate excessive levels of RFI that could affect other pieces of electronic or electrical equipment. The electronics in modern hi-fi equipment is complex and hence may be dam- aged by lightning. It is possible that during electrical storms the operation of some equipment may be adversely affected. For complete protection of your hi-fi system during such storms, mains plugs should be removed from sockets and aerial leads disconnected. Always ensure that when disconnecting and reconnecting your hi-fi equipment the mains supply is switched off.
