Safety Information

Please read all enclosed safety
precautions before connecting or
operating this product.

Verify Line Voltage and Amperage

Your amplifier has been factory configured
for use with the specific line voltage for
your location only. For example, units set to
operate within countries that supply
100-120 volt electrical service are not
compatible with 230-240 volt systems used
in other countries.

120 Volt/60Hz 15A circuit for the USA and
Canada.
230 Volt/(50/60Hz) 10A circuit for the UK
and Australia.
230 Volt/(50/60Hz) 10A circuit for Europe.
100 Volt/50Hz 15A circuit for Japan.
220 Volt/50Hz 10A circuit for Korea.
Proper AC circuit for all other countries.

Connecting the amplifier to a line with
specifications other than indicated above
can create safety and fire hazard, and
may damage the amplifier. If you have
any questions about the voltage
requirements for your specific model, or
about the line voltage in your area,
contact your dealer before plugging the
unit into a wall outlet.

Verify AC Circuit Capacity Before Use:
The high power output of your amplifier
may require heavy current draw under
full-load conditions. To insure proper
performance and avoid potential safety
hazards, we recommend connection to
line circuits with a

mperage s

pecified “as
above”. Connecting to the same circuit
used by other heavy-power devices,
such as high-wattage lights, may cause
circuit breakers to trip. It is always a good
idea to avoid using any audio equipment
on the same AC circuit as equipment with
motors, such as air conditioners or
refrigerators. This will lessen the
possibility of power variation and
electrical start-up noise affecting your
sound.

AC Power Cord: To avoid safety
hazards, use only the power cord supplied
with your unit. If a replacement cord is
needed, make certain to use a standard
IEC compliant cord. Damaged power
cords should be replaced immediately.
When setting up, make certain that the AC
plug is easily accessible. If you do not intend
to use the amplifier for a considerable
length of time, disconnect the plug fro
the AC Mai

ns Socket. Do not use an

m

extension cord.
Earth Grounding Connection: To

prevent electric shock, do not remove the
grounding plug on the power cord, or use
any plug or extension cord that does not
have a grounding plug provided. Make
certain that the AC outlet is properly
grounded as well. Do not use an adapter
plug with this product.

Do Not Open the Amplifier
Enclosure:

There are no user
serviceable parts inside this product.
Opening the amplifier enclosure may
present a shock hazard. Modification to
the product will void your warranty. If
liquid enters the unit, or any metal
object such as a paper clip accidentally
falls inside the enclosure, disconnect the
unit from the AC power

sour

ce
immediately and consult an authorized
service station.

Setup: To ensure proper operation and
to avoid potential safety hazards, place
the unit on a firm, level surface. Do not
plug or unplug the Chain in/Chain out
cable while the amplifier power is on.

Heat & Ventilation: Make sure there is
space provided for proper
ventilation. Avoid using in extremely
hot or cold locations and areas that are
exposed to direct sunlight or near heating
equipment. Avoid using in moist or high
humidity areas.

Never block the fan
vent holes on the rear of the unit.
Always maintain a 24” clearance
for the back of the unit and a 1/2”
clearance for the top and sides.
