Introduction Thank you for purchasing the X-LP phono stage. We sincerely hope that by allowing you to get the very best from your record collection the X-LP will bring you many years of listening pleasure. Installation Precautions Your new X-LP is designed and built to provide trouble-free performance, as with all electronic devices it is however necessary to observe a few precautions. Please ensure that you have complied with these before you connect the power to your X-LP. Retain this guide for future reference. n nDo not use the X-LP near water. n nKeep the X-LP away from heat sources such as radiators. n nOnly use the mains adaptor provided. The use of other adaptors could seriously damage your X-LP. n nPlace all connecting cables where they are not likely to bewalked on or trapped by items placed on them. This Hi-Fi product has been tested to ensure that its operation will not be adversely affected by normal background levels of R.F.I. (Radio Frequency Interference). It is possible that if the unit is sub- jected to abnormally high levels of R.F.I. the unit may not perform as expected. In the unlikely event of this happening please contact Musical Fidelity's service department. Do not remove any covers, the X-LP will not be covered under warranty if it has been tampered with. There are no adjustments within. Please refer all service work to an authorised Musical Fidelity agent.Connections All connections should be made before the mains adaptor is plugged in. The X-LP is easy to connect into your system, if your turntable is fitted with a Moving Magnet type cartridge plug the RCA/phono leads from your turntable into the X-LP inputs marked MM, if your turntable is fitted with a Moving Coil type cartridge plug the RCA/ phono leads from your turntable into the X-LP inputs marked MC. Now select the appropriate cartridge type with the MM/MC selector push button situated on the X-LP rear panel. This button should be "in" for MC and "out" for MM. Connect the Left and Right Outputs from the X-LP to an unused line level input (i.e. Aux, Line etc.) on your amplifier system. Use a good quality RCA/phono interconnect lead. For the best results we recommend that you use Musical Fidelity X-LINX "no-nonsense" interconnect cables which are specifically designed to work with the X-Series units. If your turntable has a separate single wire (a chassis earth) sometimes included with or in addition to the RCA/phono leads, this should be connected to the green earth terminal on the rear of the X- LP (marked with the earth symbol). When all the connections are made, plug in the supplied mains adaptor, select the appropriate input on your amplifier, carefully advance the volume control and enjoy the music. The X-LP has been designed so that it may be left on indefi- nitely.FROM TURNTABLE >
