- Page 2 Caution: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the top cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel. WARNING: To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this unit to rain or moisture. Rear Panel 1.
- Page 3 The HCA-500 can be mounted to a 19" rack by attaching the optional RMK-800 Rack Mount Kit as shown below. Please note, the panel size of the HCA-500 is 3 3/4" high, which is 1/4" taller than a standard EIA 2- space rack.
- Page 4 Mono hookup For mono operation, you may use a single channel of the HCA-500. Or you may wish to use it as a dual- mono amplifier. An example would be to use one channel for amplifying a center channel speaker and the other for a subwoofer in a home theater setup.
- Page 5 Fuses The HCA-500 has one external and several internal fuses which may blow as a result of an internal fault condition. This protects the unit from possible damage to internal parts. You should not attempt to replace internal fuses yourself - there are dangerous high voltages stored in the power supply even after power has been turned off or the unit has been unplugged.

Fingerprints may be removed with a soft cloth moistened only with a few drops of water. The HCA-500 has corrosion-free gold input jacks, but each year it is a good idea to twist the input plugs to preserve perfect signal transfer by removing corrosion which might have accumulated on the connecting plugs themselves. - Page 7 >100dB, input shorted, IHF A weighted Damping Factor Over 100 at 20Hz Dimensions 17 1/4" wide x 3 3/4" high x 11 3/4" deep 19" wide using RMK-800 rack mount kit Weight 16 lbs. © 1991 Parasound Products, Inc. - 7 -...
