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.
The device is extremely heavy - caution is required when unpacking and
transporting it. Always lift and transport the device with two persons.
Legal requirements pertaining to the lifting of heavy loads prohibit the transport
of the device by women.
Ensure that you have a firm, secure hold on the device. Do not let it fall. Wear
safety footwear when moving the device. Take care not to stumble. Ensure an
unobstructed area of movement by removing obstacles and possible hindrances
from the route.
Take care when lowering the device! To avoid your fingers being crushed,
ensure that they are not trapped between the device and the support surface.
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.

Notes on connections:
A complete connection diagram is shown in 'Appendix A'.
 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.
 If the remote control module is installed connect the plug on the E 2000
remote control receiver (optionally obtainable) to the socket marked RC-IN.
The H socket of the integrated amplifier should be connected to the
LINK
H socket of the source devices (see 'Wiring diagrams').

 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.
