INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE  
CR  
Thank you for purchasing the Musical Fidelity A3.2  
Power Amplifier.  
Used properly and carefully, it should give you many  
years of outstanding musical reproduction.  
Æsthetically, the A3.2 CR power amplifier is a perfect match  
for the A3.2 CR preamplifier, A3.2 CD player and the A3.2 tuner.  
Together, they form one of the finest hi-fi systems available today.  
Dust regularly with a soft duster or soft brush but be  
careful when using cleaning or polishing agents - they may  
harm the surface finish.  
If you have any questions about your audio system,  
please consult your dealer who is there to help and advise.

GENERAL ADVICE  
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS and USER INFORMATION  
CR  
Your new A3.2  
power amplifier 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.  
CR  
Only connect the A3.2  
amplifier 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 amplifier, for example, flower  
vases or potted plants. If water does spill inside, 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 amplifier 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.  
The case of this amplifier can run at high temperatures - operate the unit in a well ventilated  
area, and do not touch the side heatsink fins after periods of use at high output power.  
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.  
CR  
There are fuses inside the A3.2  
amplifier. In the unlikely event that one blows, refer the unit  
to your audio dealer. Do NOT try to replace the fuse yourself as this will invalidate the war-  
ranty.  
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.  
CR  
If after-sales service is required, to help your dealer identify the A3.2  
the serial number located on the rear panel of the unit.  
amplifier please quote

ence. However, if a problem persists, please contact your Musical Fidelity agent.
