Very Important
Please
read
this
section
before
connecting
this
unit
to
your
system
:
For
optimum performance:
• All slide faders are subject
to
wear. Excessive force can wear out the faders quickly. User-replaceable
slide faders are not covered by our warranty.
• Never use spray cleaners
on
the slide controls. Residues cause excessive
dirt
build-up and this will void
your warranty. In normal use, slide controls can last for many years. If they malfunction (usually because
of
a dirty
or
dusty environment), consult a professional technician.
• Always make sure that AC
power
is
off
while making any connections.
Use appropriate cables throughout your system. Do not use excessively long cables
(i.e.
over 32 feet / 10
meters). Be sure plugs and jacks are tightly mated. Loose connections can cause hum, noise, or
intermittents that could easily damage your speakers. Make the input and output connections with readily
available low-capacitance stereo cables. Cable quality makes a big difference in audio fidelity and "punch."
See
your Denon Pro dealer
or
an
electronics
or
audio specialist store
if
you are not sure which cables to use.
• Never attempt
to
make any adjustments other than those described in this manual,
or
repairs. Take the
unit
to
your dealer
or
to
an authorized Denon Pro service center.
• Always remember:
tum
amps
on
last
and
off
first.
Begin with master faders
or
volume controls on
minimum and the amplifier gain/input control(s) down. Wait 8-1 O seconds before turning up the volume.
This prevents transients which may cause severe speaker damage.
Use restraint when operating controls. Try
to
move them slowly. Rapid adjustments could damage
equipment
due
to
amplifier clipping.

• Avoid amplifier "clipping" at all costs: this occurs when the red LEDs (usually on th_e
fro_nt
p_anel
of
most
professional
power
amplifiers) start flashing.
"C
lipping"
is
when the
power_
amplifier
1s
distorting and
working beyond i
ts
limits. Amplifier distorti
on
is the main cause
of
speaker failure.
