INTRODUCTION

The Myryad Z162 Power Amplifier has been designed to offer a
combination of high quality sound reproduction and elegant
styling.

The Z162 can be used to provide power for high quality stereo
systems when partnered by a suitable preamplifier or, in
partnership with a Z142 Integrated Amplifier, to provide a very
high performance four channel solution for bi-amp capable
loudspeakers. Multiple Z162 amplifiers can also be used to power
a full-surround music or Home Cinema sound system of the
highest quality.

The Z162 has a pair of unbalanced line inputs plus directly linked
line outputs, all on RCA phono sockets.

The Z162 is Smart My-Link® compatible. When it is connected
via the Smart My-Link® to a Myryad Z or MX Series integrated
amplifier (such as the matching Z142) or preamplifier, the Z162
will be switched on/off whenever the integrated/preamp is
switched on or off – whether from the front panel, remote control
or via the Smart My-Link® bus.

INSTALLATION AND SAFETY

The Z162 generates a modest amount of heat and requires
ventilation. Do not place it on a rug or other soft surface into
which it could sink, obstructing the air inlets in its underside. Do
not allow any obstruction to the ventilation slots in the top cover. If
a number of Z-Series units are stacked on top of one another, the
Z162 should be placed at or near the top. The Z162 should not be
installed in a built-in situation such as a bookcase or rack unless
proper ventilation is provided.

CAUTION: THIS APPARATUS MUST NOT BE EXPOSED TO
DRIPPING OR SPLASHING. OBJECTS FILLED WITH LIQUIDS
SUCH AS VASES MUST NOT BE PLACED ON THE
APPARATUS.

THE REAR PANEL POWER SWITCH DISCONNECTS MAINS
LIVE ONLY. THE POWER CORD MUST BE DISCONNECTED
FROM THE REAR OF THE APPARATUS, OR THE WALL
SOCKET, TO PROVIDE TOTAL ISOLATION. ONE OR OTHER
OF THESE CONNECTIONS MUST BE READILY ACCESSIBLE
WHEN THE APPARATUS IS IN USE.

Do not remove the cover, or attempt to modify or repair any item
yourself. Refer all servicing to a qualified technician.

ACCESSORIES

Your Z162 is supplied with the following accessories.

• Separate mains power cord to suit country of sale.
