Owner`s manual

3. Do not place any objects on top of the CD3; its suspen-
sion feet are tuned for the specific weight of the CD3.
4. Do not place or operate your CD3 on a soft or
irregular surface such as a rug. This can prevent proper
leveling and restrict ventilation
5. Do not operate your CD3 without the top and bottom
covers installed. These are required both for safety
as well as shielding from interference (except in service
operations by qualified personnel).
6. If side-by-side mounting with other equipment is
employed, place the CD3 to the left of the other chassis,
so as to provide maximum spacing between the trans-
formers of the CD3 and the other component.

play will glow.

Servicing
C A U T I O N : Your CD3 contains sufficient levels of voltage
and current to be lethal. Do not tamper with a component
or parts inside the unit. Refer any needed service to
your authorized Audio Research dealer or other qualified
technician.
Should service be necessary, please contact your Audio
Research dealer, or Audio Research Customer Service
[phone].
Cleaning
To maintain the visual appearance of your CD3,occasionally
wipe the front panel and top cover surfaces with a soft
damp (not wet) cloth to remove dust. A mild, non-alkaline
soap solution may be used to remove fingerprints or similar
smudges. Cleaners containing abrasives should not be used
as they will damage the brushed grain of the front panel
finish, as well as the LED display window. A dry 2-inch
pure bristle paint brush works well to remove dust from
bevels, reliefs and switches. The CD3 CD compartment
may be gently dusted: carefully avoid touching the laser
assembly area to prevent possible damage.
