AVIS RISQUE DE CHOC ELECTRONIQUE -NE PAS OUVRIR
2.The lightening flash within an equilateral triangle shown above is intended to alert you to the presence of uninsulated ‘dangerous voltage’ within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute an electric shock.
3.The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle shown above is intended to alert you to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying this appliance.
4.Sherbourn products are designed to comply with in-
ternational directives on the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) in electrical and electronic equipment and the disposal of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). The crossed wheelie bin symbol indicates compliance and that the products must be appropriately recycled or processed in accordance with
these directives.
5.Please retain this manual in a safe place for future reference about safety and operating matters.
6.Adhere to all warnings and follow all operating
instructions.
7.Warning: To reduce the risk of fire or electrical shock, do not expose this equipment to rain or moisture. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
8.Caution: To prevent electrical shock do not use this
(polarized) plug with an extension cord, receptacle or other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.
9. For added protection for this product during a lightening storm or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, it is recommended that you unplug the unit from the wall outlet. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightening or power line surges.
10.Do not use attachments not recommended in this owner’s manual as they may cause hazards.
11.Locate the equipment for proper ventilation. For
example, the product should never be allowed to
operate while positioned on a bed, rug, sofa or any such surface where proper ventilation is not possible. Nor
should the unit be placed in a built-in installation such as a cabinet or armoire, etc. in such a way as to impede the air flow. Always ensure adequate ventilation openings - please see later comments regarding such an installation.
12.Locate the product away from heat sources such as stoves, heat registers, radiators or other appliances including other amplifiers that produce heat.
13.Mount the equipment in a wall or cabinet only as described in this owner’s manual.
14.Do not use the equipment near water; for example near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, a swimming
pool, a wet basement, etc.
15. Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand tripod, bracket or table. The equipment is heavy and should it fall, it could cause serious injury to a person and/or serious damage to the equipment.
Caution for Installation
1. Your Sherbourn amplifier can be placed on any table or shelf. It can also be custom installed in a rack, and/ or in a piece of cabinetry or furniture of your choice. It is however, important that if the amplifier is going to be housed in an enclosed environment, that you allow for adequate ventilation. Despite the adequately sized heatsinks built into the amplifier, it is still important that good ventilation be provided. Do not install the amplifier directly above another heat generating component such as another amplifier without adequate ventilation.
2. If your amplifier is going to be placed in an enclosed space such as an armoire, it is essential that adequate ventilation be provided. We strongly suggest that the shelf on which the product is being placed includes a cutout of at least twenty inches by twelve inches (50 cm by 30 cm) directly under the ventilation slots on the bottom of the amplifier. A similarly sized cutout should be made in the upper or rear wall behind the shelf so that free air can flow from beneath the unit to the outside atmosphere. Also allow a minimum of three inches (7.5 cm) free space above the product and two inches (5 cm) on either side of the product. This combination of space will allow for a free flow of circulating air to help keep the amplifier from overheating. If your cabinet includes a number of products, it may be advisable to install a quiet fan to assist the cooling process.
3. The dealership from which you purchased the product is an expert on custom installation procedures and can provide invaluable advice to help you make an aesthetically pleasing and trouble free installation.
Caution for Connections
1. Connect this equipment only to the type of AC power source as marked on the unit. Always route AC power cords so they are not likely to be walked on, or tripped over, or where they may be pinched by items placed on or against them. Always pay particular attention to cords at plugs and/or convenience receptacles, and at the point where they exit from the product.
2. Do not defeat the inherent design features of the polarized plug. Non polarized line cord adapters will

defeat the safety provided by the polarized AC plug. If the plug should fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug. If you use this product in a country which only has two slotted receptacles in the house, you must use a three-pin adapter plug to earth ground which is the “E” (earth pin) of the power cord connected to this product. 3. Do not overload wall outlets, extension or integral convenience receptacles, as this could result in a risk of fire or shock.
Operating Voltage
The LDS16-45 and LDS12-60 amplifier is factory-set for 110V/120V 60 HZ or 230V 50HZ AC operation, according to the country for which the unit was manufactured (230V in European Union countries, in compliance with CE regulations). The operating voltage cannot be changed by the user and any attempt to do so
may risk of causing damage to the amplifier and will void the warranty.
Care of the Product
Clean the product by dusting with a dry cloth. Do not permit objects of any kind to be pushed and/or fall into the product through the enclosure openings.
Front Panel Description
The front panel houses the main Power ON/OFF switch. A blue power LED will illuminate when the LDS16-45/12-60 is ON and will dim when all zone amplifiers are in the ‘Standby’ mode. The LED will only extinguish when the Power ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position or when the LDS16-45/12-60 is disconnected from the electrical outlet.
