Installation And Wiring - T+A A 1560 User Manual

General notes on setting up the unit:
Carefully unpack the A1560 and store the original
packing materials 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. Please be
sure to read the safety notes in these instructions.
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.
Before placing the unit on a sensitive surface, please
check the compatibility of the lacquer and the unit's feet
at a non-visible point.
The surround receiver should be placed on a rigid, level
base. When placing the unit on resonance absorbers or
de-coupling components make sure that they do not
compromise the stability of the unit.
The receiver should be set up in a dry, well-ventilated
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
inflammable.
Any heat build-up will shorten the

life of the unit and could be a source
of danger.
When installing the unit on a shelf or in a cupboard it is
essential to provide an adequate flow of cooling air, to
ensure that the heat produced by the unit is dissipated
effectively. For this reason there must be at least 10 cm
free space to both sides and behind the units. There
must also be 10 cm free space above the top unit to the
next shelf or cupboard section.
'R' series devices dissipate some heat through the case
cover. For this reason any devices of a different make
must stand on feet at least 2 cm high if they are to be
stacked on an 'R' series  unit (see drawing
alongside).

If you encounter problems when setting up and using the
decoder for the first time, please remember that the
cause is often simple, and equally simple to eliminate.
Please refer to the section of these instructions entitled
'Trouble-shooting'.

Be sure to push all plugs firmly into their sockets.
Loose connections can cause hum and other
unwanted noises.
Deploy all mains leads, loudspeaker cables and
remote control leads as far as possible from low-level
leads (inter-connects) and aerial cables. Never route
them over or under the receiver.
Connect the unit to a correctly earthed mains socket
using the mains lead supplied.
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.
We recommend the use of the  'POWER LINE'
ready-to-use mains lead in conjunction with the
'POWER BAR' mains distribution panel, which is
fitted with a phase indicator as standard.
