Congratulations
on the purchase of your new Parasound D/ AC-I 000 Digital to Analog
Converter. It has been designed to extmct greater musical detail from any digital source. If you
are using it to upgmde your CD player, you will find the D/AC-IOOO makes a world of
improvement. You will enjoy more of the warmth and depth that has previously been associated
only with the finest analog sources.
Your D/ AC-I 000 sets new performance standards at its modest price. Its high quality parts, triple
power supply, high current drive analog stages, plus hookup and operating flexibility are superior
to even many far more expensive D-A converters. To assure fullest musical enjoyment, please take
a few moments to read these instructions completely.
Unpacking
Open the carton of your D/ AC-l 000 carefully and inspect the unit for possible shipping damage.
Now is the time to rep011 any damage to your dealer. You will find the detachable AC line cord
packed sepamtely 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-l 000 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-I 000 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 mdiator and away from
windows which might be left open to let in min.
.
. If you are stacking your components, you should avoid placing your D/ AC-l 000 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 intelference from their RF local oscillator circuits.
