INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing the Viola Bravo Reference Amplifier. We
have designed and manufactured this exciting product utilizing the
latest techniques and the best materials available. Our goal is to
provide you with the highest quality listening pleasure available.
UNPACKING
Under no circumstances should you consider unpacking your
amplifier without adequate assistance as both personal injury and
damage to the product is likely unless you follow the procedures listed
below.
Your new VIOLA Bravo Power Amplifier is heavy—the shipping
weight of the Bravo is about 260 pounds (118 kg). We recommend
you use two or three people to unpack these amplifiers safely.
Do not attempt to lift your power amplifier from its packing carton
alone. Never attempt to lift your power amplifier while bending from
the waist. Always stand as straight as possible and use your leg
muscles to lift your amplifier.
After unpacking your Bravo power amplifier, keep all packing
materials for future transport. In the event that you need to ship your
amplifier, only the original, purpose-designed shipping carton is
acceptable. Any other method of shipping this heavy product will
almost certainly result in damage to the amplifier—damage that would
not be covered by the warranty.
Please inspect your amplifier for any obvious damage due to
shipping. If you discover any problems, contact your VIOLA dealer
immediately so an appropriate freight claim can be made.
Although your VIOLA Bravo power amplifier delivers outstanding
performance straight out of the box, you should expect to hear it
continue to improve as it reaches its normal operating temperatures
and its various components "break-in." It has been our experience that
the greatest changes occur within the first 25-50 hours, but that the
amplifier will continue to improve in sound quality for about 300 hours,
after which time it remains quite constant.
