Installation Unpacking The Audiant 80i is supplied with the following accessories: • Remote control • 2 x AAA batteries • Mains lead • USB cable • This manual We recommend you retain the packaging for reuse in case you need to transport the unit at a later date. Placement Your Audiant 80i integrated amplifier should generally be placed close to your primary source component, keeping interconnect cabling short.
Connecting - Rear panel 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Important: Before making any connections, switch off the mains power to all components in your system. 1 Power On/Off The Power switch turns power to the unit on and off. 2 Mains Power Socket The Mains Power Socket is used with the removable mains power cord to supply your Audiant 80i integrated amplifier with power.
5 Phono Earth Terminal The phono earth terminal connects to the earth lead from the tonearm cable of a record player, if required. 6 Phono Input These sockets are for connecting to an analogue record player. The phono input is only compatible with moving-magnet (MM) cartridges. If you wish to use an external phono amplifier, the internal phono stage can be bypassed and used as a line level input. Ask your Perreaux dealer for assistance with bypassing the internal phono stage.
Operation - Front Panel 1 1 2 3 2 4 Standby Button The Standby Button switches the unit between Standby mode (indicated by dim standby LED) and On (indicated by bright standby LED). Standby is a low-power mode where the power consumption is less than 1 Watt. The unit should be left in Standby mode when not in use. 2 Source Buttons The Source Buttons allow you to select the source component that you wish to listen to.
Operation - Remote Control 1 Standby The Standby key switches the amplifier between On and Standby mode. 2 Source Up & Down The Source keys scroll through the source inputs. 3 Volume Up & Down The Volume keys adjust the volume level of the amplifier. When the HT input (HT Loop) is selected the Volume keys will have no effect. 6 Skip Forward When connected to a computer using the USB input, the Skip Forward key allows you to skip forward by one track in the music application running on the computer.
Protection System Your Audiant 80i integrated amplifier protection systems to ensure reliability and long life of the unit and the speakers it is connected to. The protection system comprises of five main protection methods. In all instances the protection state will be indicated by all source input LEDs flashing. Power to the amplifier will need to be cycled, by the standby button or power switch, to reset the protection state.
Troubleshooting There is no power Ensure the AC power cord is connected securely. Ensure the mains plug is fully inserted into the wall socket and is switched on. Check the mains fuse of the amplifier. Check fuse in the mains plug or adaptor. There is no sound Check that the source component is properly connected. Check that the source component playing. Check that the speakers are properly connected. Make sure the amplifier is not muted. There is no sound on one channel Check speaker connections.
