MOON Eclipse CD Player
Installation Tips
Both the MOON Eclipse CD Player and its external power supply should be placed on rigid surfaces to
prevent any accidents such as falling over. It is highly recommended that each unit sit on its own
dedicated shelf. They should both be placed in a location with empty space around them for proper
heat dissipation. You should never place another component on top of either unit. As well, you should
avoid placing them near a heat source or inside a closed cabinet that is not well ventilated. This could
compromise the CD Player’s performance and reliability.
Although well shielded, the power supply chassis should not be placed too close to source components
sensitive to EMI, such as turntables, phono preamplifiers and the Eclipse CD Player.
Once you have decided on a location for the Eclipse, you should install the four (4) pointed screw-on
tips onto the cones of the CD Player chassis. These tips will easily scratch most surfaces, therefore it’s
advisable to follow these instructions:
1) Place your Eclipse on a soft surface (i.e. carpet) and carefully turn it so that it rests on its side.
2) Screw one tip onto each of the four cones.
3) Carefully move the chassis to it’s pre-determined location.
Included with these tips is a small metal rod, intended for final adjustments (if necessary) by simply
threading it through the tiny hole of each of these tips and then gently turning. These adjustable
screw-on tips serve two purposes: Mechanical grounding of the chassis and compensation for surfaces
that aren’t perfectly level.
Since household dust is an excellent insulator of heat, we suggest that you clean both of the curved
side-mounted heat sinks on a regular basis. A smooth nylon brush with long bristles (ie. paint brush) is
recommended for this task.
You should make all of your audio signal connections prior to making the AC connection between the
Eclipse power supply and the AC wall outlet.
Finally, if you have not used a CD player before, you may be unaware that compact discs are very
easily damaged, and must be kept very clean. Always store them in their jewel cases. Dirty or finger-
marked discs will reproduce music poorly. Moreover, the player may even mute parts of a track, or be
unable to find some tracks. If you need to clean a CD remember to use a soft lint-free cloth, using a
radial action (i.e. starting from the center and aiming towards the edges). Do not attempt to clean a
compact disc using a rotating motion.
