Instructions for use
Thank you for purchasing the Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista CD player.
The Nu-Vista CD player uses our tried and tested ultra-low distortion upsampling Digital to Analogue Converter
circuitry, which has impressively flat response and virtually immeasurable noise and distortion.
To further enhance functionality, the DAC can be used with the inbuilt CD player, or with external digital sources
such as TV sound, set-top boxes and similar.
The Nu-Vista CD features a valve* buffer output circuit, similar to that used in our original Nu-Vista products. It
has since been refined, to fulfil our latest practices and expectations. This completes the CD player giving a
perfect sound from a great looking full size unit.
The Nu-Vista CD will aesthetically match with present and future Nu-Vista series products. Such a combination
will yield 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.

Page 9: Remote Control
REMOTE CONTROL The remote control allows operation of the CD player at a distance. Equivalent buttons on the remote control have the same functions as those on the front panel of the unit. Other functions are only available by remote control. As the handset uses an invisible infra-red light beam, the front edge must be pointed directly towards the receiver window at the front of the player, without visual obstruction between them. - Page 10 For the first 15 mins or so, the Nu-Vista valves are still warming up, and the valve illumination will be yellow in colour. After approx. 20 mins the valves will have reached full thermal equilibrium and are at their optimal performance, which is indicated by the illumination turning green.
