User manual CAMBRIDGE AUDIO D SERIES

[. . . ] We particularly recommend amplification from the Cambridge Audio range, which has been designed to the same exacting standards as our CD players. Interconnects and speaker cables are also something that shouldn't be overlooked. Please do not compromise your system's performance by using poor quality cables to connect your D Series to your amplifier or the amplifiers output to your loudspeakers. A system is only as good as its weakest link. [. . . ] Never allow this unit to come into contact with water or other liquids and ensure that small objects do not fall through any ventilation grille. In either event, switch it off immediately, disconnect it from the mains supply and contact your dealer for advice. Do not route the power cable so that it can be walked upon or damaged by other items near it. Like all audiophile electronic components, this unit will perform best once it has warmed up. When using for the first time it is advisable that it is left on, playing music, for at least 36 hours prior to critical listening. For subsequent use, a warm up period of 10-15 minutes is recommended for maximum enjoyment. Do not plug your CD player directly into a power amplifier unless it has a variable output level. If you do not intend to use this unit for a long period, switch it off and unplug it from the mains socket. To clean the unit, wipe its case with a moist, lint-free cloth. Do not use any cleaning fluids containing alcohol, ammonia or abrasives. Do not spray an aerosol at or near your CD player. This product is not user serviceable, never attempt to repair, disassemble or reconstruct the unit if there seems to be a problem. A serious electric shock could result if this precautionary measure is ignored. In the event of a problem or failure, please contact your dealer.
