Additional Information

Break-In
Your TAGA Harmony CD-Receiver sounds great immediately after it is taken out of the carton but as all hybrid devices, this CD-Receiver requires a “break- in” period to reach its full sonic capabilities.
During the “break-in” period it is recommended to operate the CD-Receiver at moderate volume levels.
The first level of the “break-in” is reached after approximately 10 hours of play.
The optimal level of the “break-in” is reached after approximately 40 to 60 hours of play.
It is recommended to avoid one-time short periods of operation unless the CD- Receiver reaches the first “break-in” level.
When the CD-Receiver is turned on, it should operate for around 4-6 hours.

Turn off procedure
If the CD-Receiver was turned off even for a short period of time, you should wait at least 2 minutes before turning it back on.
Do not turn it ON then OFF and then ON again in quick succession.
Follow this procedure each time you turn your CD-Receiver OFF / ON.
This precaution will minimize the stress (high voltages) on internal components.

Vacuum tubes – noise floor and interferences
It is a normal phenomenon for an CD-Receiver equipped with vacuum tubes to produce significant amount of noise (called noise floor or self-noise) which can be audible in speakers and headphones (in one or both channels).
Devices equipped with vacuum tubes are more prone to various types of interferences generated by nearby electronic equipment – try to eliminate such a problem by moving this product away from the source of interference or trying to power it from a different power line than other equipment (e.g. from a power outlet in another room).

Vacuum Tube Replacement
The lifetime of vacuum tubes may vary and depends on their operation time and ambient temperature, playback volume levels and the number of on and off cycles.
Replacement vacuum tubes are not supplied with this product.
The warranty time for vacuum tubes is shorter than for other components of this device – for more details check your warrant terms or contact a local dealer.
The vacuum tubes are installed inside the device and should be replaced only by qualified service personnel.

Power transformer – Power filters and conditioners
It is a normal phenomenon that the device’s power transformer may generate a certain amount of audible noise.
Very loud operation of the power transformer may be caused by low quality of power supply (voltage surges etc.).
In such a case, we suggest using a power filter or conditioner – you can also try to power this product from a different power line than other devices (e.g. from a power outlet in another room).

Handling of CD discs

• Do not touch the playback side of the disc.
• Do not attach paper or tape to the disc.

Cleaning Discs

• Fingerprints and dust on the disc cause picture and sound deterioration.
  Wipe the disc from the centre outwards with a soft cloth. Always keep the disc clean.

• If you cannot wipe off the dust with a soft cloth, wipe the disc lightly with a slightly moistened cloth and finish with a dry cloth.

• Do not use any type of solvent such as thinner, benzine, commercially available cleaners or antistatic spray. They may damage the disc.

Storing Discs

• Do not store discs in places subjected to direct sunlight or near heat sources.
• Do not store discs in places subjected to moisture and dust such as a bathroom or near a humidifier.
• Storing discs vertically in a case, stacking discs or placing objects on discs outside of their cases may cause warping.
