6. INSTALLATION PRECAUTIONS CAUTION • 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 [ ON / 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 level controls [CH 1/BRIDGE, CH 2] Adjust the input level of each channel.
[Rear] DA-250D DA-250DH 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. SETTINGS AND CONNECTIONS [Rear panel] Speaker output terminals (with a terminal cover) Step 1. Switch off the unit's power. Step 2. Set the BRIDGE ON/OFF switch and CH 1 mode ON/OFF switch. Step 3. Connect the sound source equipment to the Input terminals. Note: Refer to p.
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-250DH employs the High-pass filter on each channel, which can be set to "ON" or "OFF." CAUTION These servicing instructions are for use by qualified personnel only.
11. PROTECTION OPERATION LIST Failure Protection Overcurrent due Current limiter activated to overload when impedance drops below the specified value. Short circuit Current limiter activated. Load is disconnected. Rise in heat sink Load disconnected. temperature (over 100°C) Temperature rise Built-in amplifier unit inside the unit that caused the failure (over 80°C)
13. CLEANING THE FILTER Step 1. Switch off the unit's power. Step 2. Remove the ventilation panel as shown in the figure. Step 3. Detach the filter inside the ventilation panel. Step 4. Clear the filter of dust. Step 5. Replace the filter and ventilation panel. Ventilation Panel Detach the panel by pressing on the left or right side.
