Cleaning and care instructions
The QBD76 requires no special care other than common sense. Spray window cleaner (clear type) may
be used (if first sprayed onto a soft cloth) to remove surface blemishes such as finger marks from the
metal casing. Never spray directly onto the converter and never use abrasive cleaning, use only a lint
free soft cloth.
There are no user serviceable parts in the QBD76. It should be serviced only by Chord Electronics
Limited or their expressly approved service agents.
NB: This unit must be ventilated at all times with at least 5cm space around and above the unit.
Initial Start-up
If there is no output from the DAC once everything has been connected and the digital source is
playing it may be that the DAC has not set itself. Remove the power lead and wait for 30 seconds
before powering up. This should be enough time for the DAC to configure itself.
