OPERATION

Operating this component is a simple procedure. Each unit is designed for long term stability in
virtually any home operating situation. However, if the unit is operated outside the parameters
outlined in this owner's manual, damage may result. Please read this manual carefully before
putting your new unit into operation.

AC POWER REQUIREMENTS

The SL-100 is designed to work from house current AC mains. The design voltage is 120V AC at
50/60Hz (foreign units 240V AC at 50/60Hz). Plug the provided AC power cable into the AC
power jack on the rear panel of the unit.

CONNECTIONS

Balanced Inputs:
Single-ended Inputs:
Balanced Main Outputs:
Single-ended Outputs:

CHECKING CONNECTIONS

1. Make sure that all the connections are proper by referring to the rear panel labels.
2. Check the directivity of stereo separation (right channel to right channel, left channel to left
channel).
3. Check the directivity of pin cord connection, if your patch cables are labeled for direction of
connection.

POWER ON/OFF SWITCH

Turn on the SL-100 and wait for power LED to stop blinking after thirty (30) seconds. Turn on
any other components making sure the appropriate input is selected on the preamplifier, and
gradually turn up the volume control to a suitable and enjoyable level.

BREAK IN PERIOD

The components and other circuitry take approximately 100 hours of use to settle in for
peak performance. The SL-100 will sound good right out of the box, but it will improve
within a short time. After the first 50-100 hours, you will notice increased depth and tighter
bass. This break-in period is characteristic of quality audio devices.
