Safety Concerns
Use only grounded outlets when powering this
product. Making any modification to the power
cord could cause unsafe operation and will void
the manufacturer's warranty.
AC Power Considerations
The D400 requires 7 Amps of AC currect. When
designing any whole house system using multi-
channel amplifiers, make sure to provide ade-
quate provisions for all electronic equipment to
be installed. This may require additional outlets
and/or circuit breakers to be installed. Consult a
licensed electrician in this case.

AND UNPLUGGED FROM POWER.
DAMAGE CAN OCCUR TO EQUIPMENT
IF IMPROPER CONNECTIONS ARE MADE!
THIS AMPLIFIER IS NOT BRIDGEABLE!
