INTRODUCTION
CAUTION
CDA320
24/192 CD PLAYER & CONVERTER
Thank you for choosing the Stello CDA320 from April Music.
The Stello CDA320 is a truly innovative design embodying a brand new concept in CD
player making that combines the CD transport and D/A converter section in a single chassis.
As a unique entry-level model, the CDA320 stands out amongst a myriad of relatively
affordable CD players. Intended for 2-channel reproduction, the CDA200 will compete
favorably against, and even surpass, the performance of the latest available digital formats.
The Stello CDA320 is designed to operate at the following line voltages; 117,
230(220), 240 volts AC. This proper voltage is selected through internal voltage
selector switches.
The Stello CDA320 is a highly sensitive electronic apparatus. The best performance
results will be achieved when used on a leveled, vibration free shelf system, away
from airborne vibration.
The 'Mains' switch is located on the rear panel. The 'Stand-by' switch can be
operated manually on the front panel and through the red button of the remote
control. During a normal daily operation use only the 'Stand-by' switch leaving the
'Mains' switch in the 'on' position. The amount of current draw in the stand by mode
is very small while the internal circuitry is maintained at an optimal operating
temperature. It is, however, recommended to turn the 'Mains' switch off or unplug
the AC power lead when you plan to leave the house for a prolonged period of time.
Do not open the chassis without prior authorization from the manufacturer or a
certified Stello agent. Unauthorized repair or tempering of any type will void the
manufacturer's warranty.
