To prevent shock hazard, all three connections must ALWAYS be used. Connect the MOON i-7 only to an AC source of the proper voltage; Both the shipping box and rear panel serial number label will indicate the correct voltage. Use of any other voltage will likely damage the unit and void the warranty AC extension cords are NOT recommended for use with this product.
Your new Integrated Amplifier is a true dual-mono design, whereby each channel operates completely independent of the other. The performance of your i-7 will continue to improve during the first 400 hours of listening. This is the result of a “break-in”...
In the event that the surface you have chosen isn’t perfectly level, each of the four (4) legs of your i-7 are height adjustable; carefully using your fingers, you can either raise each leg by turning the cone underneath clockwise, or lower each leg by turning it counterclockwise.
2) engage the effects of the signal processor. The monitor component’s outputs must be connected to the i-7’s “Tape Monitor In” and its inputs must be connected to the i-7’s “Tape Monitor Out”.
Note: To change the balance between the left and right channels, please refer to the section “Remote Control Operation”. The “Input +” and “Input -” buttons allow you to choose which input source you wish to listen to. The MOON i-7 dual-mono integrated amplifier has a total of five (5) inputs;...

(continued) The MOON i-7 is equipped with a 12 Volt trigger output. When an input is assigned to the 12 Volt trigger, the device connected to the trigger will automatically start-up whenever you switch to that input. The default setting for all five inputs is on.
Beside each of these XLR inputs is a single-ended tape monitor loop; both the input and output connectors for each channel are located on their respective sides of the rear panel. The i-7 also has a line-level preamplifier output that allows you to use this integrated amplifier as a preamplifier ONLY, for use with a separate power amplifier.
In the event that you plan to be away from your home for a few days, powering off the integrated amplifier may not be a bad idea. Once fully “broken-in”, please keep in mind that your i-7 will require several hours of playing time before it reaches its peak performance after you’ve powered it up again.
DC is present, the front panel display will show “DC LEVEL”; when overheating “HIGHTEMP” will appear in the display. If your i-7 powers itself off or will not power up, there may very well be DC present in one (or more) of the inputs coming from one (or more) of your source components.
Allen key to remove the three screws located on the back plate; insert the batteries in the correct direction and then screw the back plate back into place. To operate the i-7 with this remote control, you must first press the button labeled ‘Preamp’ in the top right corner.
