Musical Fidelity V90-LPS User manual

V90-LPS Phono Stage
Instructions
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the V90-LPS. We
sincerely hope that it will bring you many years
of outstanding listening pleasure.
Installation Precautions
Your new V90-LPS 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 V90-LPS 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 V90-LPS 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 V90-LPS.
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 V90-LPS 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 V90-LPS 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.

Using good quality RCA leads (not
supplied), connect the left and right
turntable outputs to the correct V90-LPS
INPUT sockets.
Use the phono MM input for moving
magnet cartridges. Make sure MM/MC
switch is OUT.
Use the phono MC input for moving coil
cartridges. Make sure MM/MC switch is IN.
Outputs
Connect the V90-LPS left and right
OUTPUTS to the desired LINE LEVEL (e.g.
AUX) inputs of the amplifier system.
Power
Plug the DC connector lead from the power
supply unit into the V90-LPS power inlet
socket, and plug the adaptor itself into a
convenient wall mains outlet. Switch on the
unit, and the blue LED will light to confirm the
unit is ready for use.
Earthing An earth terminal is provided.
Optimum earthing arrangements differ
according to setup
Connect earth wire from turntable to this
terminal if hum is apparent.
Any particular setup may work perfectly or
even better if this terminal is left disconnected
and there is no harm in doing so.
Use
Turn the volume on amplifier to normal
listening levels, 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.
