RADIO - FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (RFI)  
This equipment uses and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and operated in  
accordance with the instructions, may cause interference to radio communications.  
However, it is designed to radiate minimal levels of RFI, and accordingly been testing to North  
American standards (FCC regulations - limits for a class B digital device persuant to part 15 of  
the rules). These requirements are intended to provide reasonable protection against excessive  
interference in a residential installation.  
Conversely, the product has also been checked to ensure that its own operation is not adversely  
affected by normal background levels of RFI received externally.  
However, if interference is experienced, for instance to radio or TV broadcasts, the user is rec-  
ommended to try one or more of the following measures:  
• Identify the source of interference by turning off power to the CD player or other  
equipment individually, and checking whether the problem disappears.  
• Re-orientate or relocate the receiving aerial.  
• Move the CD player away from the receiver.  
• Connect the CD player to a mains outlet on a different circuit from the receiver.  
• Consult a dealer or experienced TV / radio technician for help.  
If a problem persists, please contact Musical Fidelity's service department.

GENERAL ADVICE  
INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS and USER INFORMATION  
3
Your new X-RAY V is designed and built to provide trouble-free performance, but as with all  
electronic devices it is necessary to observe a few precautions:  
Heed all warnings shown on the back of the product.  
3
Only connect the X-RAY V to a mains outlet having the same voltage as marked at the back of  
the unit.  
Always ensure that when disconnecting and reconnecting your audio equipment the mains  
supply is switched off.  
Position the mains lead and signal interconnects where they are not likely to be walked on or  
trapped by items placed on them.  
Do not use near water, or place water-filled containers on the CD player, for example, a flower  
vase or potted plants. If water does spill inside, immediately pull out the mains plug from the  
wall socket and inform your dealer, who should then check the unit before further use.  
Entry of liquid into the CD player is dangerous, and may cause electric shock or fire hazard.  
Do not place the unit near direct heat sources such as radiators, direct sunlight or other  
equipment.  
Do not remove any covers or try to gain access to the inside. There are no internal adjustments  
or fuses you can replace yourself. Refer all service work to an authorised Musical Fidelity  
agent.  
Note : Unauthorised opening of the equipment will invalidate any warranty claim.  
Dust regularly with a soft cloth or soft brush but be careful when using cleaning or polishing  
agents - they may harm the surface finish.  
The electronics in modern hi-fi equipment is complex and may, therefore, be adversely affected  
or damaged by lightning. For protection of your audio system during electrical storms, remove  
the mains plugs and disconnect any aerial lead.

If after-sales service is required, to help your dealer identify the X-RAY V player please quote  
the serial number located on the rear panel of the unit.

INSTALLATION / GENERAL ADVICE  
INTRODUCTION  
CLEANING  
Congratulations on the purchase of your  
new X-RAY Version 3 upsampling 24 BIT  
CD player.  
Before cleaning the CD player, always turn  
off power at the mains switch and remove  
the mains plug from the wall outlet. Clean  
the housing and the remote control unit  
using a moist cloth. We do not advise the  
use of solvents, white spirit or thinners, as  
they could damage the surface finish of the  
unit.  
3
The X-RAY V uses the latest technology  
for the reproduction of your CD collection.  
The digital data stream is first up-sampled  
at 96kHz, which moves noise, jitter and dis-  
tortion artefacts well above the audio band.  
It is then passed through a new, low noise,  
low distortion 24-bit digital-to-analog con-  
vertor operating at 96kHz, which allows  
simpler filtering of the analog output. This  
in turn gives an improved audio response  
without the need for sharp filters that  
degrade sound quality. The result is a CD  
player which gives a smoother response  
than previously possible with none of the  
“hardness” of other players.  
INSTALLATION  
Position the CD player on a stable, horizon-  
tal surface where there is no risk of it being  
knocked, or subjected to vibration such as  
from loudspeakers.  
Protect your CD player from humidity - if  
the unit is moved from a cold place to a  
warm room, moisture can form on the pick-  
up lens inside the player, preventing  
the laser beam from reading the disc. If this  
happens, remove the CD, close the disc  
drawer, and leave the unit switched on for  
an hour or so to allow sufficient time for the  
moisture to evaporate.  
This model fully complements our current  
X range of products, which enable its full  
potential to be realised.  
NOTES ON USING COMPACT DISCS  
AUDIO CONNECTION  
Always hold discs by the edges and make  
sure they remain clean. Do not touch the  
surface, or stick paper or adhesive tape to  
either side of the disc. Keep discs away  
from direct sunlight and heat sources, such  
as radiators. Do not leave CDs in a car  
parked in direct sunlight, as the temperature  
inside the car can become extremely high.  
Clean discs with a cloth before playing  
them. Do not use solvents to clean your  
compact discs, such as benzene, thinners,  
commercially available cleaners or antistatic  
spray intended for analog records. After  
playing, always return the disc to its case  
for storage.  
The CD player should be connected to an  
amplifier input by audio cables with  
RCA/phono type plugs. These link the left  
and right AUDIO OUTPUT sockets on the  
rear panel of the CD player to the CD or  
auxiliary input sockets on the amplifier.  
Do not use any sockets on the amplifier  
intended for “vinyl” phono cartridge input,  
as the sensitive circuit will overload, pro-  
ducing a severely distorted sound.  
Alternatively, you can use the TRANSPORT  
DIGITAL OUTPUTS (coaxial or optical) for  
connection to an external digital-to-analog  
converter or digital amplifier.

REMOTE CONTROL  
Remote control buttons shown below enable CD player functions to be operated from a conven-  
ient distance. Remaining buttons on this universal handset are for use with other Musical  
3
Fidelity products, and have no effect on the X-RAY V CD player.  
Except for separate PAUSE and PLAY (see page 10), equivalent buttons on the remote control  
have the same functions as those on the front panel of the unit. Many other functions are only  
available by remote control.  
As the handset uses an invisible infra-red light beam, the front edge must be pointed directly  
towards the receiver window at the front of the player, without visual obstruction between  
them.  
If the range of the remote control greatly decreases, replace the batteries with new ones.  
Do not mix old and new batteries - two are required, size AAA, LR03 or SUM-4. Do not  
dispose of used batteries in a fire.

muted.  
Pressing PLAY/PAUSE again resumes play-  
back from the same place.  
If OPEN/CLOSE has been pressed, the  
disc drawer closes and the CD player scans  
the contents of the disc. After a short delay,  
the display window then shows the total  
number of tracks available on the CD, and  
total playing time.  
PAUSE (Remote control)  
On the remote control, PLAY and PAUSE  
buttons have separate functions at each end  
of the same button. Pressing PLAY will  
only control disc play, and pressing PAUSE  
will not resume play. Note that if the disc is  
already playing, pressing the PLAY button  
reverts play to the beginning of the current  
track.  
In the following example there are 7 tracks,  
lasting a total of 41 minutes 2 seconds :  
3
If mains power to the X-RAY V player is  
switched on with a disc already loaded, it  
will automatically search for the disc.  
The display then indicates STOP, and  
shows the number of tracks available on the  
CD and total playing time, as in the above  
example.  
STOP  
Playback can be stopped at any time by  
pressing the STOP button once. On the  
remote control, press either end of the but-  
ton, not the middle part.  
DISC PLAY  
Pressing the STOP button a second time  
opens the transport drawer.  
If PLAY/PAUSE is pressed, the CD player  
will begin playing from track 1, confirmed  
by the word PLAY appearing on the left of  
the display, with 1 in the centre and elapsed  
time on the right.  
If a disc is loaded but not playing, pressing  
STOP once will also eject the drawer.  
When all tracks on the CD have been  
played, the display shows STOP and total  
number of tracks on the disc.

BASIC OPERATION  
TRACK SELECTION  
Pressing the forward-search button (>>) fast  
winds forwards whilst the search backwards  
button (<<) fast winds backwards.  
As the unit searches through a track, the  
track time display (far right digits) will be  
seen to advance rapidly in the required  
direction. For both directions the unit will  
return to normal playback when the button  
is released.  
To change track, the track skip buttons >>|  
and |<< can be pressed to jump forwards  
or backwards one track in either direction.  
Corresponding TRACK buttons on the  
remote control have the same markings.  
If the unit has stopped playing, a specific  
track can be accessed directly by pressing  
either >>| or |<< to obtain the required  
track number, then pressing PLAY/PAUSE.  
DISPLAYING PLAYBACK TIME  
There are three playback time display modes  
accessed progressively by pushing the  
TIME button on the remote control. The  
original mode (e.g. after switch on) shown  
below indicates the elapsed time for the cur-  
rently playing track (track 1 playing,  
TRACK SELECTION (Remote control)  
Simply press the PLAY button to start a CD  
playing from the first track.  
Alternatively, a specific track can be select-  
ed directly by pressing the required track  
number button in the centre-section of the  
remote control. The chosen track then plays  
after a short delay. To play a track number  
with two digits, press the second digit but-  
ton on the remote control within this delay  
period.  
0 minutes 34 seconds in this example):  
Pushing the TIME button once changes the  
display to show the remaining time for the  
complete disc with a minus sign to denote  
reverse counting (track 2 playing,  
If a track number is chosen which is not  
available on the disc, for example pressing  
button number 9 if the CD has only 7  
tracks, the words INVALID TRACK are  
briefly displayed.  
31 minutes 40 seconds in this example):  
SEARCH  
Pushing the TIME button a second time  
cancels all time indication:  
The SEARCH buttons on the remote con-  
trol can be used to fast-forward or fast-  
rewind during playback in a similar way to  
a video or tape cassette player. This permits  
location of particular passages at high speed  
with the audio playback of the CD still  
active.  
A third press of the TIME button will now  
bring the display back to the original  
(elapsed track time) mode.

SPECIAL FEATURES  
REPEAT PLAYBACK  
SHUFFLE PLAYBACK  
The REPEAT button on the remote control  
allows the repeated playback of either one  
track or all tracks on the disc.  
The SHUFFLE feature allows tracks on the  
discs to be played in random sequence  
rather than the normal consecutive order.  
Tracks are also played in a different order  
each time the disc is restarted, or another  
disc loaded.  
By pressing the REPEAT button once, only  
the current track is repeated, and the display  
shows “repeat track”.  
This function is obtained by pressing  
SHUFFLE on the remote control with the  
unit either stopped or playing. The word  
shuffle disc” in the display indicates that  
the function has been activated.  
If the REPEAT button is pressed a second  
time, “repeat disc” is displayed instead.  
The entire disc can then be repeated.  
3
Pressing REPEAT a third time cancels  
repeat mode.  
If the X-RAY V is already playing, play  
will continue in random order until all tracks  
on the disc have been played.  
A-B REPEAT PLAYBACK  
Shuffle play is cancelled by pressing the  
SHUFFLE button a second time. The unit  
resumes normal play function, continuing to  
the end of the disc in normal order starting  
from wherever it was left by the previous  
random selection.  
“A-B repeat” provides the option of playing  
just a certain section of the disc over and  
over again.  
Find the beginning of the required section  
either by listening, or using the display time  
as a guide.  
From stop mode, pressing PLAY/PAUSE  
also begins shuffle play.  
When the desired starting point is reached,  
press button A / B on the remote control.  
If REPEAT is then pressed whilst in shuffle  
mode, a repeat shuffle function is obtained :  
The display will show “repeat a -”.  
When the disc has reached the end of the  
required section, press the A-B button  
again. “repeat a - b” will now appear in  
the display, and the unit continuously plays  
the selected part of the disc.  
Pressing >>| selects the next track in ran-  
dom order.  
To cancel A-B repeat mode, press A/B on  
the remote control.
