Unpacking
Open the carton of your D/ AC-1500 carefully and inspect the unit for possible shipping damage.
Now is the time to report any damage to your dealer. You will find the detachable AC line cord
packed separately inside the carton. We do not recommend use of any other line cord.
.
Save the plastic bag, styrofoam inserts and carton. You may need these later for transporting the
D/AC-1500 or for shipment in the event it ever requires factory servicing. Record the serial
number (on rear panel) here for reference in case your unit is stolen:
.
Placement
You should locate your D/ AC-1500 as close as possible to your digital source. Keep your unit out
of direct sunlight, away from heat sources such as a hot air register or radiator and away from
windows which might be left open to let in rain.
If you are stacking your components, you should avoid placing your D/AC-1500 on top of heat-
producing components, such as power amplifiers or tube-type preamps. You should keep it as far
as possible from your tuner or receiver to avoid interference from their RF local oscillator circuits.
