Unpacking the ECM 1
Immediately upon receipt of the ECM 1, inspect the carton for possible damage
during shipment. The carton and packaging have been designed to provide the
safest possible protection for transport of your network music player. Unpack the
unit carefully. Save all packaging materials for future shipment.
The contents of the carton
• 1 pc. Electrocompaniet ECM 1 Network Music Player.
• 1 pc. AC main cord.
• 1 pc. Inspection card.
• 1 pc. Owner's manual.
• 1 pc. IR Remote control.
Set up procedure
Before connecting the ECM 1 to the AC Power outlet, check that the main voltage
selector indicated on the rear panel corresponds to the line voltage in the country
were you intend to use the unit.
How to avoid damages
Do not under any circumstances connect or disconnect equipment when power is
turned on. The design of the RCA plug generates a huge transient when inserted.
Connecting or disconnecting equipment with the power on can result in severe
damage to both speakers and amplifier.
How to avoid noise problems
The ECM 1 contains delicate circuits that are sensitive to magnetic stray fields. The
unit should not be placed near power voltage transformers, TV sets etc. Care should
also be taken regarding placement of the interconnect cables. Do not run interconnect
cables in parallel with main cords or speaker cables. Keep interconnect cables as
short as possible.
How to avoid possible antenna problems
In some set-ups hum may occur when you connect the radio, VCR or TV to your
system. The problem is caused by DC voltage coming from your antenna. Please
contact your cable network operator.
