Parasound D/AC-800 Owner's Manual

D/AC-800
Digital/Analog Converter
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Parasound D/ AC-800 Digital-to-Analog
Converter. It has been designed to extract greater musical detail from any digital source. If you
are using it to upgrade your CD player, you will find the D/ AC-800 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-800 sets new performance standards at its modest price. Its high quality parts, double
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-800 carefully and inspect the unit for possible shipping damage.
N ow 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-800 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-800 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-800 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 its RF local oscillator circuits.
