Owner`s manual

1. Save the carton and pack-
ing material even if the
equipment has arrived in
good condition. Should
you ever need to ship the
unit, use only the original
factory packing.
2. Read all documentation
before operating your
equipment. Retain all doc-
umentation for future refer-
ence.
3. Follow all instructions
printed on unit chassis for
proper operation.
4. Do not spill water or
other liquids into or on
the unit, or operate the unit
while standing in liquid.
5. Make sure power outlets
conform to the power
requirements listed on the
back of the unit.
6. Do not use the unit if the
electrical power cord is
frayed or broken. The
power supply cords should
be routed so that they are
not likely to be walked on
or pinched by items placed
upon or against them, pay-
ing particular attention to
cords and plugs, conve-
nience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from
the appliance.
7. Always operate the unit
with the AC ground wire
connected to the electrical
system ground. Precautions
should be taken so that the
means of grounding of a
piece of equipment is not
defeated.
8. Mains voltage must be
correct and the same as
that printed on the rear of
the unit. Damage caused
by connection to improper
AC voltage is not covered
by any warranty.
9. Have gain controls on
amplifiers turned down
during power-up to pre-
vent speaker damage if
there are high signal levels
at the inputs.
10. Power down & disconnect
units from mains voltage
before making connec-
tions.
11. Never hold a power
switch in the “ON” posi-
tion if it won’t stay there
itself!
12. Do not use the unit near
stoves, heat registers,
radiators, or other heat
producing devices.
13. Do not block fan intake or
exhaust ports. Do not
operate equipment on a sur-
face or in an environment
which may impede the nor-
mal flow of air around the
unit, such as a bed, rug,
weathersheet, carpet, or
completely enclosed rack.
If the unit is used in an
extremely dusty or smoky
environment, the unit
should be periodically
“blown free” of foreign
matter.
14. Do not remove the cover.
Removing the cover will
expose you to potentially
dangerous voltages. There
are no user serviceable
parts inside.
15. Connecting amplifier out-
puts to oscilliscopes or
other test equipment
while the amplifier is in
bridged mode may damage
both the amplifier and test
equipment!
16. Do not drive the inputs
with a signal level greater
than that required to
drive equipment to full
output.
17. Do not connect the inputs
/ outputs of amplifiers or
consoles to any other volt-
age source, such as a bat-
tery, mains source, or
power supply, regardless of
whether the amplifier or
console is turned on or off.
18. Do not run the output of
any amplifier channel
back into another chan-
nel’s input. Do not paral-
lel- or series-connect an
amplifier output with any
other amplifier output.
Acoustic is not responsible
for damage to loudspeakers
for any reason.
19. Do not ground any red
(“hot”) terminal. Never
connect a “hot” (red) out-
put to ground or to anoth-
er “hot” (red) output!
20. Non-use periods. The
power cord of equipment
should be unplugged from
the outlet when left unused
for a long period of time.
21. Service Information
Equipment should be ser-
viced by qualified service
personnel when:
A. The power supply
cord or the plug has been
damaged;
B. Objects have fallen,
or liquid has been spilled
into the equipment;
C. The equipment has
been exposed to rain;
D. The equipment does
not appear to operate nor-
mally, or exhibits a marked
change in performance;
E. The equipment has
been dropped, or the enclo-
sure damaged.
