Bochum works by our experienced and passionate work- force. But before you start listening to your new Audionet DNA, please read this manual carefully so you are able to use and enjoy all functions of this unit without drawback on music quality.
Always use the provided cloth bag to prevent scratches on the casing Please allow the DNA to adapt to the climatic conditions in your listening room before you switch on the unit for the first time after transport.
Do not place the DNA in close range to heat sources like radiators. Do not place the DNA on top of other units, especially not on top of power amplifiers, pre amplifiers or similar that produce heat. Both units could suffer damage from thermal overload.
The DNA is a Class I unit and must be earthed. Please ensure a stable earth connection. Phase (hot pin) is marked on the back panel phase 10 . If you connect the mains cord please make sure that mains switch 8 at the back panel is switched off.
Important During connecting and removing of sources or amplifiers to the DNA all units of your audio system have to be switched off to prevent damage of the DNA or any of the other connected units. Please make sure that all cables are in absolute best conditions! Broken shields or short-cut cables could damage the DNA and/or any other connected unit.
5.1.2.1 Audionet HighBit input In order to send audio data across the Audionet HighBit interface to your DNA, connect your source device (e.g. ART G3 or VIP G3) with two digital cords to the digital inputs IN 1 and IN 2.
Connect your speakers to the gold plated terminals Speaker Output Left 17 and Speaker Output Right 24 on the back panel of the DNA. You can use banana plugs or spades as well as simple cable ends. Look out for the correct connection of your speaker cables.
You only need a simple optical TosLink cable. Connect the Audionet Link output Link OUT 2 of your DNA to the Audionet Link input of unit to be controlled.
First, switch on the EPS on its back panel. Then switch on the DNA with the mains switch 8 . Now the DNA is ready to use. Switch on with the power key on the front panel or keys Power Off or Power Toggle of the Audionet System Remote Control Harmony One (see section "7.6 - Screen 5"...
Installation and power supply" on page 11 and "5 - Inputs and out- puts" on page 13). The DNA is a stand-by unit. Please operate the mains switch 8 on the back panel. The display shows a welcome message for a brief moment.
