V-CAN Headphone Amplifier
Instructions
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the V-CAN
headphone amplifier. We sincerely hope that
it will bring you many years of outstanding
listening pleasure.
Installation Precautions
Your new V-CAN is designed and built to
provide trouble-free performance, but as with
all electronic devices, it is necessary to
observe a few precautions:
Do not use the V-CAN near water. The unit
must not be exposed to dripping or splashing
and no objects filled with liquids, such as
vases, must be placed on the unit.
Keep the V-CAN away from heat such as
radiators. No naked flame sources, such as
lighted candles, should be placed on the
unit.
Power Supply Note:
Only use approved Musical Fidelity DC
power supply. The use of other adaptors or
supplies could seriously damage the V-CAN.
This Hi-fi product has been tested to ensure
that its operation is not adversely affected by
normal background levels of Radio
Frequency Interference (R.F.I.), and that it
does not itself generate excessive amounts
of interference. However, if a problem
persists, please contact your Musical Fidelity
agent.
Never open the case of the V-CAN yourself,
as this will invalidate the guarantee.
Place all connecting cables where they are
not likely to be walked on or trapped by
items placed on them.
The V-CAN will operate in accordance with
its specifications within the following
environmental range:
Temperature 5 to 45 degrees Celsius
Humidity 10 to 90% non condensing
There are no user adjustments inside.
Please refer all service work to an
authorised Musical Fidelity agent.

Connections
All connections must be made before the
mains adaptor is plugged in, and before any
amplifier connected is switched on. Always
switch off the equipment attached to the V-
CAN before connecting/disconnecting
power, changing leads or inputs.
Inputs
Using good quality RCA leads (not
supplied), connect the left and right outputs
from a CD player or other audio source to
the V-CAN L
LINE INPUT
sockets. If
connecting into an existing system, the V-
CAN can conveniently be connected to the
TAPE REC outputs of any pre- or integrated
amplifier. If the TAPE REC outputs are still
required by e.g. tape or CD recorder, then
the LINE OUT of the V-CAN replicates the
original TAPE REC output and can be used
accordingly.
Outputs
Two headphone sockets are available to
allow a greater range of headphones to be
used without need of adaptors. Connect
headphones into the correct output socket of
the V-CAN.
Power
Plug the DC connector lead from the power
supply unit into the V-CAN’s power inlet
socket, and plug the adaptor itself into a
convenient wall mains outlet. The blue LED
will light to confirm the unit is ready for use.
Use
Adjust the volume control for a comfortable
listening level, sit back and enjoy the music.
These products have been designed so that
it may be left on indefinitely, but please note
that the mains adapter may become warm to
the touch - this is normal.
