Key Features; Safety Information - Adcom GIA-275 User Manual

Introduction
Congratulations on your decision to purchase the GIA-275 Integrate DAC / Amplifier. Two channel audio is
better than ever! The GIA-275 will work with all of your Bluetooth enabled portable devices and also
supports playback of high resolution audio via a USB connection to your PC or media server. The GIA-275 is
designed to reproduce the fidelity that high resolution audio has to offer. Equipped with analog and digital
inputs (optical, coax & USB), the GIA-275 hasn't forgotten about your legacy components. You can connect
your flat screen TV through a digital connection or use your legacy analog and digital devices such as a CD,
DVD, Blu-ray, cable box, satellite receiver etc. To realize the full potential of the GIA-275, and before
making any connections to it, please read these operating and installation instructions thoroughly.

Unpacking the GIA-275
Before your new GIA-275 left our factory, it was carefully inspected for physical imperfections and tested
for all electrical parameters as a routine part of ADCOM's systematic quality control. This, along with full
operational and mechanical testing, should ensure a product flaw- less in both appearance and
performance. After you have unpacked the GIA-275, inspect it for physical dam- age. Save the shipping
carton and all packing material as they are intended to reduce the possibility of transportation damage
should the GIA-275 ever need to be shipped.
In the unlikely event damage has occurred, notify your dealer immediately and request the name of the
carrier so a written claim to cover shipping damages can be initiated. The right to a claim against a public
carrier can be forfeited if the carrier is not notified promptly in writing and if the shipping carton and
packing materials are not available for inspection by the carrier. Save all packing materials until the claim
has been settled.
Placing the GIA-275
The GIA-275 is a compact product that can get warm when used for extended periods or at high listening
levels. It is good practice to ensure the GIA-275's long-term, trouble-free operation to provide adequate
ventilation for the unit. Therefore, the GIA-275 should be kept away from external sources of heat such as
radiators, hot-air ducts and direct sun light. We recommend that you DO NOT place components on top of
the GIA-275. If you observe these recommendations the GIA-275 will perform reliably in any reasonable
environment. You should also pay attention to such normal considerations as protection from excessive
dust and moisture. Dust on the surface of the cabinet can be easily and safely removed with a duster such
as made by Swiffer™. Finger prints can be removed with a soft cloth (preferably microfiber) dampened
with a mild non- ammonia cleaner.
The optimal performance of your new GIA-275 will ultimately depend on the care with which you make the
connections between the GIA-275, the source devices and the loudspeakers. All input and output signal
connections should be made only with high quality, low-loss, low capacitance cables. Speaker connections
MUST be made using banana plugs at the back of the GIA-275. For recommendations of the type and
quality of interconnections that are best for your applications, consult with your ADCOM retailer.

Safety Information

There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. The unit must
be connected to a power supply only of the type and voltage specified on the rear panel. Connect the
component to the power outlet only with the supplied power supply cable or an exact equivalent. Do not
modify the supplied cable. Do not defeat grounding and/or polarization provisions. The cable should be
connected to a 3-pin polarized wall outlet, matching the wide blade of the plug to the wide slot of the
receptacle. Do not use extension cords.
