Installation - Sunfire HRSIW8 User Manual

Installation

Read and follow all instructions
and all important safety instructions
in the HRSIW8 amplifier manual.
Here follows a summary of the
amplifier installation notes:
• The amplifier may be rack mounted
using the supplied rack ears. It will
fit into a standard 1U, 19 inch rack
space. Allow a minimum of 1 free
rack space above and below for
ventilation. This is very important.
• The amplifier may also be placed
on a shelf, supported on its feet.
Make sure it is not placed on car-
peting or similar that may obscure
its ventilation openings.
• Never open the amplifier cabinet
as this might result in an electrical
shock to you, or damage to the
unit. There are no user-servicable
components inside.
• Protect the amplifier from prolonged
exposure to direct sunlight and
other direct sources of heat, such
as heating vents and radiators.
• To prevent fire or shock, do not
expose the amplifier or subwoofer
to rain or moisture. If fluid or a for-
eign object should enter either unit,
immediately turn off the power and
contact your Sunfire Dealer.
• Avoid excessive exposure to
extreme cold or dust.
• Do not place heavy objects on top
of the amplifier.
Heat rise
• Allow adequate ventilation around
the top and sides of the amplifier.
• Allow adequate ventilation if you
are rack-mounting the amplifier.

AC Power Considerations
Ensure that the amplifier is plugged into
an outlet capable of supplying the correct
voltage specified for your model.
Unplug your amplifier's power cord
from the electrical outlet if it will be left
unused for a long period of time.
Route the power-supply cord so it is not
likely to be walked on or pinched by items
placed upon or against it, especially at
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where it exits from the unit.
Before making or changing any
connections, ALWAYS make sure that the
amplifier and your other components are
turned OFF. Also turn down the volume
control of the subwoofer amplifier and
your preamplifier or receiver.
Speaker Level connections
The amplifier's speaker level outputs
can accept speaker wires with banana,
dual-banana, bare wire, pins or spade
terminals. If you have banana type con-
nectors on your speaker wire, make sure
that you tighten the binding posts before
inserting.
Make sure that the negative speaker
wires never touch the positive wires as
this will short out and possibly damage
your amplifier.
Magnetic Fields
We recommend that you place your
subwoofer further than two feet away
from your TV, VCR, tape deck or com-
puter, so the speaker's magnet won't
distort the colors of your TV picture or
erase your video tapes, audio tapes or
computer discs.
