    Due to the complex cabinet construction sound may be best avoided by microphonics. 2.1 Safety TRIGON ELEKTRONIK GMBH assumes no liability for any damage caused by improper handling, or failure to follow safety instructions. Amplifiers must not be installed in close proximity to heat sources such as radiators, stoves, high power light sources, open flames, etc...

  • Page 5: Warranty And Service

    By choosing the integrated amplifier, you have purchased a high quality and technologically advanced product. In order to meet TRIGON's requirements, every product must undergo numerous quality tests in every stage of production and a rigorous outgoing inspection. Furthermore, TRIGON ELECTRONICS GmbH offers a limited 3-year warranty on all products.

  • Page 10 A further press of this button triggers the mono sound and LED (16) disappears. (17) LED HF The frequency bandwidth of Epilog is very wide. Therefore, under certain circumstances the output stages can start oscillating. A not perfectly matched combination of speaker cable, crossover and loudspeaker chassis can form a resonant circuit which, in conjunction with a broadband amplifier, can built an oscillator.
  • Page 11 When the speakers are turned off in this menu, even the LED (11) via the headphone jack (12) lights up additionally. 3.2 Connections on the back Epilog Up to five modules (20) can be inserted at the back of the main chassis.

    Here the power cord is plugged. Always pay attention to the correct mains voltage. As standard, the epilogue is set for a mains voltage of 230 V AC. Have been set the Epilog for different voltages, then corresponding notes are (sticker) at the amp.
  • Page 13 3.4 Settings and Menus Epilog The concept of the provides an intuitive user interface. Nevertheless, this component provides useful additional features that are "hidden" in sub-menus. Epilog´s To fully take advantage of the capabilities, we recommend taking the time to read the following.
  • Page 14 Display structure: The first line of the display indicates the number of the first occupied slot and the type of module present. As long as no specific name for an input has been set, it will be automatically designed as INPUT 1 in the second line of the display. The third line indicates the sub-menus for the configuration of the module and general setup.

Reverse cannels ■] OUTPUT 1 SLOT 6 On the first line select the output be edited with the keys (7) and (8). In this line you can also see the slot in which the module is installed, so that you can assign the output as desired.
  • Page 18 This menu allows to link a specific input to the Record Out connectors on the "UNBALANCED OUTPUT" module, when installed. This function is only possible if at least one module "UNBALANCED OUTPUT" is installed in a slot. Using the keys you can select the input to be fed to the REC OUT connectors.
  • Page 19 Various sub-menus can be accessed with key (10) (down) and key (up). [■] Vol. Base Level This function allows setting the initial volume level assumed by the EPILOG upon turn-on. This value can be set with the volume knob or with keys (8).
  • Page 20 The currently installed Software version is displayed in the first line, after the TRIGON logo. The second line [INS] displays the information about installed input modules and number of available inputs. The third line [OUTS} displays the information about installed output modules and number of available outputs.

    User mode display. The red volume display will reflect the currently selected level. 3.5 Unity Gain If the epilogue should be looped in a surround setup, because the two main speakers Epilog are connected at , then it may be useful to adjust the volume setting on the Epilog surround amplifier only.
  • Page 22 Now the volume control is bypassed for the selected input. With button (10) you leave the UNITY GAIN menu. To switch off UNITY GAIN again, you go back into the UNITY GAIN menu and press the arrow key (7). Now, the volume is adjustable by using the volume button (3) for this input again.
  • Page 23 The DIRECTOR is a system remote control, which can remotely control various devices from TRIGON. The entire keyboard can be used three fold. Individual function levels are provided for control of amplifiers, CD players and tuners. The key (1), top right, next to the device LED's, selects which type of device is controlled.
  • Page 24 Epilog Note: All settings are retained even after turning off of . However, when the display is switched off, it will come on briefly whenever an adjustment is made to the Epilog . For example, when the volume is changed, the change is shown briefly before the display is switched off again.
