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

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

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
V90-LPS before connecting/disconnecting power, changing leads or inputs.
Inputs
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.

Basic problem-solving with an amplifier is similar to troubleshooting other electrical or electronic equipment.
Always check the most obvious possible causes first, such as the following examples:
No power
No sound
Power supply not switched on.
Power plug is not fully inserted into rear socket
Wrong connections between input source and the V90-LPS
Wrong connections between the
V90-LPS output and the following component
Check power supply is plugged in and switched on
Plug in securely
Check audio input lead connections
Check audio output lead connections
Hum
Connecting turntable earth makes hum worse.
Audio connector plug not fully pushed in
Turntable earth not connected.
Earth loop within system.
(may not be apparent with other line level sources)
Insert plug securely and check leads
Try connecting turntable ground lead to ground post on V90-LPS.
Disconnect turntable earth connection. Not all setups require turntable earth to be connected.
Investigate system for other hum/earth loops if hum persists.
If none of these actions affect a cure, please contact the dealer, or an authorised Musical Fidelity service agent.
Remember; never open the case of the V90-LPS, as this will invalidate the guarantee.
