IMPORTANT NOTES FOR USERS IN THE U.K.

Mains plug
This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug. To change a fuse in this type of
plug proceed as follows:
• Remove fuse cover and fuse.
• Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
• Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate
plug fitted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5 Amp. If a plug without a fuse is
used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5 Amp.
Note: The severed plug must be disposed to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket
elsewhere.
How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code: blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L).
As these colours may not correspond with the colour markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
• Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured black.
• Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured red.
• Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug, marked E (or e) or coloured green (or green and yellow).

Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over
the two wires.

INTRODUCTION

SPACE FIDELITY - THE MAIN BENEFITS
Captivatingly emotional sound
Space Fidelity creates a two-channel sound field throughout
the listening space. The entire room turns into a stereo
chamber, filled to the brim with music.
The sound image is the same everywhere in the room
With conventional stereo systems, you only hear stereo
when you are inside an area of a few square metres between
and in front of the speakers.
Space Fidelity gives you a thrilling personal stereo
experience everywhere you go in the listening space.
Space fidelity’s stereo is not focused in the centre of the
room at all. It follows you around, like the eyes of the Mona
Lisa. Wherever you go, you hear the same unique live
sound: Space Fidelity sound.
SETTING UP SPACE FIDELITY
Space Fidelity is very good-natured, and you can stand it
almost anywhere to enjoy superb sound. But if you want to
feel the full force of this exciting system, give it a little
‘breathing space’.
• Give it one-and-a-half to three metres of free space on
both sides.
• Stand it off thirty centimetres from the wall.
• Then move back, sit back, and experience it. The most
exciting sound you ever heard.
14
MAX. page 14
SPACE FIDELITY - THE BACKGROUND
Surround sound systems try to produce realistic 3-
dimensional sound. But with five speakers, it demands
space, and is not always easy to fit into the room decor.
Because of this, various alternative solutions have
appeared. All aim to create a surround sound effect from a
compact, easy-to-handle source.
These systems invariably use side lobing from speakers.
The direct sound is minimized, and surround sound is
generated by reflections from the walls of the listening
space. This method can generate all-round sound, but
cannot by its nature reproduce clean stereo.
Space Fidelity is itself based on side-lobing. But it is not
dependent on wall reflections and therefore reproduces
natural, true-to-life sound.
For astereo channel, Space Fidelity produces a bi-polar
energy field that creates an air flow, equally powerful in both
directions, so, in effect, it creates circular sound pressure
fields.
Wherever you may be in the listening space, Space Fidelity
gives a much broader stereo sound sensation. Damping of
the walls does not detract from the live-performance quality
of the sound, and in certain circumstances may indeed
improve it.
Space Fidelity’s acoustic tube creates precisely controlled
acoustical coupling between two conventional cone
loudspeakers, one for each stereo channel, at the opposite
ends of the tube.
Inside the tube, the nature and geometry of the damping
material (a bundle of very narrow evenly distributed
channels) absorbs and controls, to avoid the reflections.
This mutual interaction achieves wide-ranging freedom
from reflections and good level response over the full
frequency range.
As a result, the tube emits intrinsically synchronous wave
fronts, with precise phase relations. The sound is natural,
three dimensional and still free of blurring and loss of
definition.

POWER SUPPLY
POWER SUPPLY
Mains supply
• Check if the mains voltage as shown on the type plate (on the
bottom of the set) corresponds to your local mains voltage.
If it does not, consult your dealer or service organisation.
• If the set is equipped with a VOLTAGE SELECTOR, set
this selector to the local mains voltage.
• Connect the mains lead to the MAINS socket and the
wall socket. The mains supply is switched on.
• Note: Even if you switch your unit off, it remains
connected to the mains power supply. The red standby
LED at the upper left side of the display is always on
when the unit is connected to the mains power supply.
• To disconnect the set from the mains completely,
withdraw the mains plug from the wall socket.
• Remark: As this is a high-powered product, please use
whenever possible the mains supply to save battery life.
Battery supply
IMPORTANT: Since MAX is a very powerful product,
we highly recommend the use of Alkaline batteries.
Alkaline batteries ensure a much longer listening
pleasure than other kind of batteries
Some suggested battery types are: Duracell Alkaline,
Philips Alkaline, Panasonic Alkaline, Energizer Alkaline
Varta Alkaline
• Release the POWER PACK on
the top of MAX by pushing the
two knobs to the side (as
indicated 1 and 2).
– The POWER PACK jumps out.
• Insert as shown 8 alkaline
batteries, size D.
• Remove the batteries if exhausted
or if they will not be used again
for a long period.
– When the batteries run low, the
indication bAtt appears on
the display every 10 seconds.
– The set will automatically be
switched off when the batteries
are exhausted. 8 x D-cells - R20 - UM1
– It will also switch off when the volume is set to a too
high position and when music with an extreme bass
effect is played.
• During battery supply the UBS control and the Tone
controls are disabled. The standby LED and the display
backlight do not light up.
The battery supply is switched off when the set is
connected to the mains. To change over to battery
supply, pull out the plug from the MAINS socket.
Car battery supply
• Use the provided car battery connection cable for
connection to a 12 V car battery.
