Unpacking

Aer unpacking your Cantata C50 Amplier, inspect it for any shipping damage and contact us immediately if
any is found. Do not plug the unit into any outlet if you discover any shipping damage.

Please keep all packing materials for future transport of your amplier, and please do not detach the foam from
the inside of the shipping crate. e crate is designed for easy reuse should it be needed and is well-tested to en­sure the safety of the device. Shipping the unit in anything other than its original crate may result in damage that
is not covered by warranty. If you require a replacement crate or other packing materials, please contact Resolu­tion Audio.

In addition to the unit itself, the following items are also included: mains power cord, Cantata Link cable, re­mote control, and (2) AAA baeries for the remote control. To install the baeries in the remote control, open
the cover on the back of the remote, insert the baeries in the orientation shown inside the compartment, and
replace the cover.

Installation

1. Turn o any associated components prior to connecting the Cantata C50 Amplier. is minimizes the

chance of momentary electrical surges disturbing your system.

2. Set the power switch on the rear of the unit to the OFF position, aach the power cord and connect it to your

electrical outlet. (e OFF position is selected when the “O” symbol on the switch is depressed.)

3. Connect the analog outputs of your source device to your C50 amplier via RCA or XLR interconnects.

4. Connect your speakers to the respective outputs on the rear of the amplier.

5. If you are using the Cantata Music Center, we recommend linking the two devices with the supplied cable.

6. Turn on the rest of your system. It is a good habit to turn the amplier on last, and o rst, to prevent surges

and transients from reaching your loudspeakers.

7. Turn on the main power switch on the rear panel of the Cantata C50 Amplier. (e ON position is selected

when the “I” symbol on the switch is depressed.) e unit will begin in low-power standby mode. Press the
standby buon on either the front panel or the remote control. e unit will take a few seconds to initialize.
Volume level is factory-set to a low level (30), then restores to the previous volume level on exiting standby.

8. Change the input of the amplier to match the desired source (A, B, C, D). If your source device is playing

music and all connections are correct, you should hear music. If not, check connections, power, and input
selections again.
