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.
Please read the safety notes in these instructions.
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.
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 quality and characteristics of the base on which your high-quality Hi-Fi
equipment stands define the limits of sound quality which can be achieved. The
base surface should be as heavy, rigid, hard and level as possible.
The unit should be placed on a rigid, level base. 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.
Naked flame sources, such as candle lights should not be placed on the device.
When installing the unit on a shelf or in a cupboard it is essential to provide an
adequate flow of cooling air, to ensure that the heat produced by the unit is
dissipated effectively. Any heat build-up will shorten the life of the unit and could
be a source of danger. Be sure to leave 10 cm free space around the unit for
ventilation.
If the system components are to be stacked then the amplifier must be the top
unit. Do not place any object on the top cover.
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.
A complete connection diagram is shown in 'Appendix A' .
 Notes on connections:
 Be sure to push all plugs firmly into their sockets. Loose connections can
cause hum and other unwanted noises.
 When you connect the input sockets of the amplifier to the output sockets on
the source devices always connect like to like, i. e. 'R' to 'R' and 'L' to 'L'. If
you fail to heed this then the stereo channels will be reversed.
 When connecting a recorder be sure to connect the IN sockets of the recorder
to the OUT sockets of the integrated amplifier, and the OUT sockets of the
recorder to the IN sockets of the integrated amplifier.
 Inputs IN 1 ... IN 4 are equipped with asymmetrical Cinch (RCA) inputs as
well as symmetrical XLR inputs. Only one method of connection may be used
for each input. Your preferred connection type must be set in the
Configuration menu.
 The H
socket of the integrated amplifier should be connected to the
LINK
H socket of the source devices (see 'Wiring diagrams').
LINK
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.
