Source Component Connections & Output Settings; Protection Mode - Cary Audio Design 7.125 Owner's Manual

OPERATION
Do not plug the Model 7.125 directly into the "Switched Accessory" outlet of
another device! These outlets are intended for use with low current draw products
such as tuners, CD players or cassette decks. These outlets are not designed to
handle the high current draw of a power amplifier. Using these outlets for a power
amplifier is a significant safety hazard.
SOURCE COMPONENT CONNECTIONS & OUTPUT SETTINGS
Make all connections before powering on the Model 7.125. It is also recommended that you
power on the source components and processor in your system before powering on the Model
7.125. This avoids the possibility of any pops or transients from other components being
amplified and sent to the speakers. Always start with a low volume level on the controller or
preamplifier to avoid potential damage to the speakers. All volume and level adjustments are
made on your preamplifier, controller or surround processor. When using the Model 7.125 for
the first time, you should re-set the output levels of the channels on your processor.

PROTECTION MODE

The Model 7.125 is equipped to protect itself against potentially damaging conditions such as
overheating, mis-wiring and electrical failures. Under such conditions, the Model
7.125 will enter a protection mode. When this occurs, the unit will mute to protect itself and
speakers from potential damage. If the Model 7.125 enters protection mode (mutes itself):
1. Immediately power off the unit with the rear panel Master Power Switch and
disconnect the AC power cord.
2. Examine all speaker connections to ensure there are no shorts.
Power on the Model 7.125. If the unit remains in a muted state, contact Cary Audio
Design customer service for assistance.
