    SAFETY PRECAUTIONS CAUTION CAUTION WARNING WARNING CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER. NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE, REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. THIS SYMBOL IS TO ALERT YOU OF THE PRESENCE OF UNINSULATED DANGER- OUS VOLTAGE WITHIN THE UNIT'S ENCLOSURE THAT MAY BE OF SUFFI- CIENT MAGNITUDE TO CONSTITUTE A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK.
  • Page 3: Introduction

    Although its operation is fairly simple, in order to operate your amplifier properly and to realize all of the capabilites of the 33.0 we recommend that you read this entire manual carefully.
  • Page 4: Initial Setup

    Connecting or disconnecting cables while the amplifier is powered on could cause damage to your speakers. The diagram below shows the default connections necessary to operate the 33.0 as a stereo amplifier. This is the simplest and most common mode of operation, and the quickest way to get started.
  • Page 5: Detailed Installation

    AC input, is set to the appropriate voltage for your country. When changing voltages, ensure that the power cable is disconnected from the amplifier. NOTE: If the fuse in your amplifier blows, contact a Coda dealer or call Coda directly before attempting to use the amplifier again.

  • Page 10: Design Philosophy

    The subtlety of the design process at this level of performance makes it impossible to easily explain all of the advantages inherent in the 33.0. However, we present here an overview to give you an understanding of some of its unique features and an idea of the listening experience you can expect.
  • Page 11 Coda. As with all high-power amplifiers, heat dissipation is important. The 33.0 uses six massive aluminum heat sinks without fans for efficient, noiseless, and clean thermal relief. The thermal coefficient of the 33.0 heat sinks is one of the lowest and most effective in the audio industry.
  • Page 12 DESIGN PHILOSOPHY II. Material Quality The amplifier’s chassis is made from machined aluminum. All exterior metal parts are anodized or powder coated for durability. Printed circuit boards are fiberglass epoxy with gold plating over a tin/nickel barrier. The gold layer will not corrode, while the barrier layer prevents the gold from migrating to the lower copper layer.

  • Page 14: Care And Handling

    CARE AND HANDLING The interior of the amplifier requires no special care. If exterior cleaning beyond simple dusting is required, any dilute ammonia-based product is recommended. Do not use any abrasive rags, cleaners or chemical solvents on the amplifier. When handling the amplifier, take care not to mar the faceplate. Aluminum is a medium hardness metal and can be scratched by harder tool steels, and the grained surface can be easily marred if the amplifier is set face-down on a hard surface.
  • Page 15: Warranty And Disclaimer
