Installation, Precautions & User Information
This new M6 500i is designed and built to provide trouble-free performance, but as with all electronic devices it
is necessary to observe a few precautions:
This unit features a BRIDGED speaker output and should NOT be grounded on either speaker output
terminal as both terminals are effectively “hot”, i.e. carrying high current signals. Please check if using
any active “sub”, electrostatic, or other non standard speaker types or configurations (that could be
potentially grounded) with the M6 500i. Take special care when bi-amping or bi-wiring that the speaker
high and low frequency elements are completely
isolated before switching on power. Consult speaker
manual or manufacturer, if there is any doubt.
Heed all warnings shown on the back of the product.
Only connect the M6 500i 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 M6 500i, 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 M6 500i 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 the audio system during electrical storms, remove the mains plugs.
If after-sales service is required, to help the dealer identify the M6 500i please quote the serial number located
on the rear panel of the unit.
