Instructions for use
Thank you for purchasing the Musical Fidelity M3SCD player.
The M3SCD consists of a top quality CD mechanism with unsurpassed playability. The M3SCD includes digital
inputs to allow external digital audio sources such as TV, DAB tuners, computer, etc., to also benefit from its internal
high quality DAC circuits. All connections thus use a top quality over sampling 24 bit 192 kHz up sampling digital-to-
analogue converter. The up sampling action moves the digital artefacts to well outside the audio band, allowing easy
removal without detriment to the top end of the audio band. Our well tuned filtering circuit gives immeasurably small
jitter, noise and distortion artefacts allowing astounding imaging, detail and transparency, to deliver all music types
exactly as the artist originally intended.
The M3SCD is designed to be partnered with present and future M3/M3s and M6/M6s series products. This
combination yields one of the best high-fidelity systems available at any price.
Used properly and carefully, it should give many years of outstanding musical reproduction.
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 there are any questions about the audio system, please consult the dealer who is there to help and advise.
