Function Selector; Volume Control; Bedding In; After Care - Audio Note Meishu Owner's Information

Function Selector - Turn the selector to the input you wish to hear music from.
Record Selector - This feature allows you to record a different music source to the one
you are listening to.
For example, if you would like to record a CD and at the same time rather listen to the
Tuner instead, set the Record selector to CD and the input selector to Tuner.
For maximum performance during normal playback set the record selector to off, when
no recording is required.
Volume Control – This control adjusts the listening level or loudness, set as desired.
Balance Control – This control adjusts the relative left/right levels. Use this control if
necessary to equalize the loudness from each speaker.

BEDDING IN

The new amplifier requires about 200 hours of initial use (called "bedding in") before the
circuitry becomes stable and optimum performance is realized. As the amplifier "beds in"
the sound will become increasingly smoother, detailed and open. Once the amplifier has
"bedded in" a warm up time of approximately 30 to 45 minutes is required each time the
amplifiers are switched on before optimum sonic performance is reached.

AFTER CARE

No special maintenance is required for the amplifiers. Cleaning is best made with a soft
cloth or soft brush. Use a soft cloth dampened in mild, warm and weak soapy solution to
remove grease or oily substances. Strong or alcohol based solvents may damage the
finish of the amplifiers. Do not clean the amplifier while the unit is switched on.

UPGRADING THE MEISHU

A feature of Audio Note amplifiers is upgradeability so that you can upgrade your
amplifier to a Signature and Silver status without replacing it. Upgrading some of the
valves is also beneficial eg:- Western Electric 300B (expensive but excellent). Ask us or
your dealer for details

TUBE REPLACEMENTS

The valves used in the amplifiers should provide approximately 6000 hours of operation.
These valves are specially selected and carefully matched by Audio Note for use with the
Meishu and should only be replaced with matched pairs. Please consult your Audio Note
dealer should the performance of the amplifiers deteriorate so that arrangements for valve
replacements can be made.
