2.6 Interconnects
Cinema
Signal input connections are made via the input jack on the rear of the
amplifier, either single-
ended or balanced. The interconnect cables from the output of the processor can be any convenient
length your installation set-up requires. The choice of a high quality interconnect cable is important.
.
Once again, your audio dealer will have the proper cables in stock for this purpose
WARNING: Do not touch the speaker output binding posts during
normal operation. You may be shocked. Do not short-circuit the speaker
output binding posts. Damage may occur or the fuse may blow. Do not
parallel or "bridge" the speaker output binding posts as this will damage
the amplifier.
OPERATION
Cinema
Your new
power amplifier is ready for operation after installing the AC power cord, speaker
and interconnect cables. Make sure the RCA/XLR switch is in the proper input selector position for
your particular installation.
3.1 On-Off Power Switch
Push the main power switch on the front panel to the "ON" position for normal use. (Set it to
OFF for remote turn on/off operation and it will be turned on and off by the trigger in the
surround sound processor.) LED's 1-2, 1-3 or 1-5 will light up. At this point you can play music
or start the movie. Flip the main power switch to OFF for normal shut down.
3.2 Break In Period
The transistors and capacitors take approximately 100 hours of music playing to fully settle in for peak
Cinema
performance. The
power amplifier will sound good right out of the box and continue to
improve as it goes through 'break in.' After the first couple of hours you will notice increased depth and
tighter bass.
SERVICE AND CARE
Cinema
The
power amplifier chassis may be cleaned with a soft towel and Windex® (or a similar
window cleaner). Spray it on the cleaning cloth to moisten it, not on the amplifier. Do not use solvents
or harsh chemicals to clean the amplifier. They may remove the labels from the chassis. The frequency
and need of cleaning will be governed by operating environmental conditions. Avoid letting it become
dusty or wet. A 'feather duster' type cleaner will also work well for cleaning the amplifier.
4.1 Factory Service
Cinema
Careful consideration has been given to the design of your
power amplifier to keep
maintenance problems to a minimum. If problems arise, refer to the trouble-shooting guide at the end
of this manual. If the problem is not easily solved, we suggest that you contact our Customer Service
Department at phone number (919) 355-0010 to describe your problem in detail. Do not return
the Cinema power amplifier to the factory without a Return Authorization Number
from the Customer Service Department.
