Getting Started
Thank you for your purchase of the Krell CIPHER. The CIPHER is a music-only plat-
form which plays single layer, dual layer, and hybrid super audio compact discs as
well as conventional audio compact discs. This component features exceptional
high quality two-channel stereo as well as the new multi-channel output, bringing
you the excitement of six-channel sound.
Please contact your authorized dealer, distributor, or Krell if you have any ques-
tions not addressed in the owner's reference.
Do not place the compact disc player where it could be exposed to dripping or splashing.
Do not remove or bypass the ground pin on the end of the AC cord. This may cause radio fre-
quency interference (RFI) to be introduced into your playback system.

moisture. The CIPHER requires at least two inches (5 cm) of clearance on each side
and at least two inches (5 cm) of clearance above and below the component to
provide adequate ventilation. Installations inside cabinetry may need extra ventila-
tion.
Do not place the CIPHER near hum sensitive components such as preamplifier
phono stages or turntables. Although the CIPHER is well shielded, placing it near
these components could create interference and cause hum.
AC POWER GUIDELINES
The CIPHER has superb regulation and does not require a dedicated AC circuit.
Avoid connections through extension cords or multiple AC adapters. High quality 15
amp grounded AC strips are acceptable. High quality AC line conditioners may be
used if they are grounded and meet or exceed the unit's power supply rating of 100
VA.
This product complies with the EMC directive (89/336/EEC)
and the low-voltage directive (73/23/EEC).
