Installation and wiring

Carefully unpack the unit and store the original packing material
carefully. The carton and packing are specially designed for this unit
and will be needed again if you wish to move the equipment at any
time.
If you have to transport the device, it must always be carried or sent in
its original packaging in order to prevent damage and defects.
If the unit gets very cold (e. g. when being transported), condensation
may form inside it. Please do not switch it on until it has had plenty of
time to warm up to room temperature, so that any condensation
evaporates completely.
If the device has been in storage, or has not been used for a
protracted period (> two years), it is essential to have it checked by a
specialist technician before re-use.
Before placing the unit on sensitive laquer or wood surfaces please
check the compatibility of the surface and the unit's feet on a non
visible point and if necessary use an underlay. We recommend a
surface of stone, glass, metal or the like.
The unit should be placed on a rigid, level base (See also chapter
"Safety notes"). When placing the unit on resonance absorbers or
anti-resonant components make sure that the stability of the unit is not
reduced.
The unit should be set up in a well ventilated dry site, out of direct
sunlight and away from radiators.
The unit must not be located close to heat-producing objects or
devices, or anything which is heat-sensitive or highly flammable.
Mains and loudspeaker cables, and also remote control leads must be
kept as far away as possible from signal leads and antenna cables.
Never run them over or under the unit.


Be sure to push all plugs firmly into their sockets. Loose
connections can cause hum and other unwanted noises.
 When you connect the output sockets of the source device to the
input sockets of the
'R' and 'L' to 'L'. If you fail to heed this then the stereo channels will
be reversed.
 The device is intended to be connected to mains outlet with
protective earth connector. Please connect it only with the mains
cable supplied to a properly installed mains outlet with protective
earth connector.
 To achieve maximum possible interference rejection the mains plug
should be connected to the mains socket in such a way that phase
is connected to the mains socket contact marked with a dot (). The
phase of the mains socket can be determined using a special meter.
If you are not sure about this, please ask your specialist dealer.
If you encounter problems when setting up and using the amplifier for the
first time please remember that the cause is often simple, and equally
simple to eliminate. Please refer to the section of these instructions
entitled 'Trouble shooting'.
