5. Unpacking the EMP-1
Immediately upon receipt of the EMP-1,
inspect the carton for possible damage during
shipment. The carton and packaging have
been designed to provide the safest possible
protection for transport of this player. Unpack
the unit carefully. Save all packaging materi-
als for future shipment.
The contents of the carton
1 pcs Electrocompaniet EMP 1 – Universal
Player
1 pcs AC mains cord.
1 pcs Inspection card.
1 pcs Remote control
2 pcs Batteries
Note !
The EMP 1 are designed to be used together
with the new ECT-2, the advanced RF remote
controller, sold as a separate product.
However, if you do not have this unit we have
included a standard IR controller.
Before startup
Before connecting the EMP 1 to the mains,
check that the main voltage indicated on the
rear panel corresponds to the line voltage in
the territory where you intend to use the unit.
How to avoid damages
Do not under any circumstances connect or
disconnect equipment when power is turned
on.
How to avoid noise problems
The EMP 1 contains delicate circuits that are
made to make a crystal clear, detailed sound.
Make sure all signal cables to the player have
maximal distance to cables to/from television.
If possible the television should be connected
to a separate power outlet, with filter to the
rest of your high end equipment. Television
often have a lot of magnetic stray fields that
can be picked up by cables in your system.
The unit should not be placed near main
transformers, TV sets, etc. Care should also be
taken regarding placement of the interconnect
cables. Do not run interconnect cables in par-
allel with main cords or speaker cables. Keep
interconnect cables as short as possible.
Important notes
For optimal sonic performance, the EMP 1
should be burned in for a minimum time of 72
hours. The easiest way to burn in your EMP 1
is to put a disc in REPEAT mode with the rest
of your system turned off.
In daily operation, switch off the EMP 1
player by using the STANDBY button on the
remote. If the EMP 1 has been switched off,
allow two hours of warm-up to optimize sonic
performance.
Due to high class A operation in all Electro-
companiet designs, it is normal for the EMP 1
to feel warm. Proper ventilation is important.
The EMP 1 should never be completely cov-
ered. A good rule of thumb is to allow at least
3 – 5 cm of air sidewise and 5 – 8 cm above
the EMP 1. It’s not recommended to install
the unit into a cabinet. It’s absolute not pos-
sible to install the unit into a closed cabinet.
This will make the system to fault, and also
reduce the lifetime dramatically.
