Important Safety Precautions

Use only an approved power cable and plug or distribution board to connect your
amplifier to a power outlet. Do not use an extension cable.
Never touch the mains plug if your hands are wet.
Do not attempt to open the equipment. Refer servicing and repair to qualified
service personnel. Touching live components inside the case can result in a fatal
electrical shock!
Read the Owner's Manual and Safety Precautions before operating the equipment.
Keep this Manual in a safe place so that you can refer to it later.
Please heed all warnings on the equipment itself and in the Owner's Manual.
Please follow the instructions contained in your Owner's manual and never use this
equipment for any purpose other than is explained in this Owner's Manual.
Only connect this equipment to a power source of the type described in the Owner's
Manual and specified for this equipment.
Make sure that there is adequate ventilation around the equipment to allow proper
cooling. Keep the equipment away from direct sunlight. Avoid installing the unit
close to sources of heat or in spaces such as bookshelves or cupboards where heat
radiation may be obstructed. Avoid excessive temperatures in the room, as these
could ultimately damage sensitive components and reduce the service life of your
player.
Never use the unit in damp rooms, at temperatures of below 15°C, or in the open air.
When bringing your amplifier in from the cold, allow it time to achieve room
temperature before plugging it in.
Always switch the unit off before removing or inserting interconnects. Doing this
with the amplifier switched on can damage not only the amplifier itself but also
equipment connected to it.
If you ever spill water or any other liquid onto the equipment: Do not touch the case!
Remove the plug from the wall outlet and contact your dealer or our service
department.
Never remove the earth connection from the plug. It is there to ensure your safety.
Arrange the power cable so that no one can accidentally stand on it. Avoid locating it
under objects that might put pressure on the cable. Pay particular attention to areas
where the cable exits from plugs, AC outlets and from the unit itself.
Never operate the unit without being present. Disconnect the plug from the wall
outlet and remove all aerial connections (including cable aerials) when: you clean
the unit, you do not expect to use the unit for long periods of time, during an
electrical storm.
If you have an external antenna or cable antenna connected to your hi-fi system, we
recommend that you use a signal isolating filter to avoid interference or damage
during thunderstorms.
Problems: If you lose the sound while the amplifier is operating, or if you notice
smoke or burning, switch the unit off immediately and contact your dealer or our
service department.
Only replace defective fuses after you have traced and removed the cause of the
fault and then only with a fuse of the same rating. Remove the mains plug before
changing fuses. Use an insulated screwdriver to remove and replace the fuse.

  • Page 4 Avoid placing the integrated amplifier close to loudspeakers or any other source of vibration. The 885 will respond to these measures by performing at its best. Never stack the 885 directly on other items of equipment. Vibrations from mains transformers and electro-magnetic interference from other components can have a negative impact on the integrated amplifier’s sound quality.

  • Page 13: Cooling

    885 Integrated Power Amplifier Cooling The amount of heat generated by the 885 depends on how hard it is driven. It is very important to ensure that there is unimpeded circulation of fresh air from below and that hot air can escape behind and above the unit. When you install your amplifier, therefore, make sure to provide adequate clearance above and behind the unit.
