WARRANTY LIMITED FIVE YEAR WARRANTY SETTING UP The CD 1 comes with one 6922 tube. The 6922 tube may be replaced with an ECC88/6DJ8 or E188CC/7308 with no circuit modification. This tube was chosen for its reliability and extremely low noise. The tube’s low noise heightens dynamics and provides a natural tonal balance. INSERTION OF THE TUBE 1. Using the screwdriver supplied, remove the cover of the CD 1. For your convenience, only eight (approx.) of the screws are installed at the factory.

V1 BREAK-IN TIME As with all audio electronic products, the ultimate sonic character of the CD 1 will not be realized until and unless the unit receives a minimum of approximately 70 hours of signal break-in time (i.e. the CD 1 is on and producing an output signal). PLACEMENT FOR PROPER VENTILATION Allow at least 4” (15 cm) of clear space above the CD 1 chassis for proper ventilation, making sure the air vent slots in the chassis cover remain unobstructed.
