-4- UNPACKING YOUR MD 301 HYBRID INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER Carefully inspect all sides of the shipping carton for damage. If there are marks or holes in the carton make note of the location in relation to the unit inside. Any obvious dents or scuff marks should alert you to the possibility of damage.

Pay special attention to the corresponding areas on the unit where damage was found to the shipping carton.
-5- SETTING UP THE MD 301 HYBRID INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER 1. Position the unit away from any spot which may have extremes in temperatures. 2. Place the unit on a very rigid surface capable of holding 75 pounds (34 KG). 3. The heat sinks located inside the unit are used to keep the unit at a safe operating temperature. It is important that they are not covered and that the unit is not installed in a closed area where there is little air circulation.

-7SET UP THE MD 301 HYRBID INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER WITH AN EXTERNAL HOME THEATER PROCESSOR The MD 301 Hybrid Integrated Amplifier is equipped with a unity gain input (A3/SSP Mode Input on the Pre-Amplifier section). This is a switchable input, meaning the input can be used as a normal pre-amplifier input or in unity gain mode. To Connect to a Home Theater Processor 1. Turn all the power off to the MD 301 and unplug the power cord. 2.
-8- OPTIONAL DIGITAL AUDIO CONVERTER (D.A.C) The Digital Audio Converter (D.A.C.) provides an additional USB, and two (2) coaxial inputs or one optical and one RCA in the back of the MD 301 Hybrid Integrated Amplifier. 1.
