Introduction; Installation And Placement; Cleaning - DLS AMPLIFIER ONE Owner's Manual

Introduction

A "BURN-IN" or "BREAK-IN" period is required before the amplifier will reach its max i mum sonic
potential.
The performance of your AMPLIFIER ONE will continue to improve during the first 400 hours of
listening. A "Burn-in" period is required for the numerous high quality electronic parts used in this
integrated amplifier. We recommend the amplifier to be left on, or in Standby mode at all times,
especially during the first 5-6 weeks of operation, in order to speed up the "BURN-IN" pro cess.
The amplifier should not be switched off by using the main switch at the rear panel, unless it will
be out of use for a significant period of time during vacations etc.

Installation and Placement

The AMPLIFIER ONE requires reasonable ventilation to maintain an optimum and consistent
operating tem pe ra tu re. As a result, it should be placed in a location with empty space around
it for proper heat dissipation. As well, it should be placed on a solid level surface. You should
never place the amplifier too close to heat sources such as radiators, stoves, fireplaces or other
heat-producing appliances, or inside a closed cabinet. Avoid placing the amplifier where it will be
subjected to direct sunlight or extremely low temperature. Avoid placing the amplifier near elec-
tromagnetic fields, such as large power amplifiers etc. Placement of the unit near these fields can
lead to problems with hum.
NOTE: You should never place another component directly on top of this
AMPLIFIER ONE.

Cleaning

To clean the AMPLIFIER ONE, use only a soft tissue. Never apply abrasive cleaners to the surfa-
ces of the unit.
At no time should liquid cleaners be applied directly to the AMPLIFIER ONE, as direct application
of liquids may result in damage to electronic components within the unit.
