Tri-Vista 21 DAC Instructions for Use Page 3of 6GENERAL ADVICEIssue 2: Feb 2004INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS and USER INFORMATIONYour new Tri-Vista 21 DAC is designed and built to provide 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 Tri-Vista 21 DAC to a mains outlet having the same voltage as marked at the
back of the unit.
Always ensure that when disconnecting and reconnecting your audio equipment the mains
supply is switched off.
Position the mains lead and signal interconnects where they are not likely to be walked on or
trapped by items placed on them.
Do not use near water, or place water-filled containers on the product, for example, flower
vases or potted plants. If water does spill into the Tri-Vista 21 DAC, 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 equipment is dangerous, and may cause electric
shock or fire hazard.
Do not place the unit near heat sources such as radiators, direct sunlight or other equipment.
Do not remove covers or try to gain access to the inside. There are no internal user adjust-
ments. Refer all service work to an authorised Musical Fidelity agent.
NOTE: Unauthorised opening of the equipment will invalidate any warranty claims.
Dust regularly with a soft duster 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 audio 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 Tri-Vista 21 DAC 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 itself generate excessive amounts of interfer-
ence. However, if a problem persists, please contact your Musical Fidelity agent.
