6. INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS • The supplied power supply cord is designed for exclusive use with this unit. Never use it with other equipment. • When mounting the unit in an equipment rack, the inside of the rack must be sufficiently ventilated. To achieve sufficient ventilation, remove all panels on the rear of the rack.
7. NOMENCLATURE AND FUNCTIONS [Front] 1. Power switch [ Power is switched on and off with each depression of this switch. 2. Power indicator [POWER] Lights blue when the power is switched on. 3. Input volume controls [CH 1 (BRIDGE 1), CH 2, CH 3 (BRIDGE 2), CH 4] Adjust the input volume of each channel.
[Rear] 6. AC inlet Connect the supplied power cord to this inlet. 7. Functional ground terminal [SIGNAL GND] Hum noise may be generated when external equipment is connected to the unit. Connecting this terminal to the functional ground terminal of the external equipment may reduce the hum noise.
8. CONNECTIONS 8.1. Procedure Step 1. Switch off the unit's power. Step 2. Set the BRIDGE ON/OFF buttons and CH 1 mode ON/OFF button. Step 3. Connect the sound source equipment to the Input terminals. Note Refer to p. 12 for the removable terminal plug connection.
[1 input - 3 outputs (2)] 9. REMOVABLE TERMINAL PLUG CONNECTION Cautions • Be sure to use shielded cables for audio signal lines. • Avoid soldering cable conductor, as contact resistance may increase when the cable is tightened and the solder is crushed, possibly resulting in an excessive rise in joint temperatures.
10. INPUT SENSITIVITY AND HIGH-PASS FILTER ON/OFF SETTINGS The Input sensitivity can be set to +4 dB (factory-preset) or -10 dB for each channel. Besides, only the DA-250FH employs the High-pass filter on each channel, which can be set to "ON" or "OFF."...
