BREAK-IN TIME

As with all audio electronic products, the ultimate sonic

character of the MCA Amplifiers will not be realized until and

unless the unit receives a minimum of approximately 70

hours of signal break-in time (i.e. the amplifier is on and 

outputting a signal).

PLACEMENT FOR PROPER VENTILATION

The MCA Series require a minimum of 12” (30cm) above, of

unobstructed air space. Make sure that the ventilation slots

on the top and bottom remain unobstructed by any object.

Do not stack any other component on top of the amplifier

or block the ventilation slots in any way. Also, be sure that

the amplifier is placed on a secure, hard and level surface,

NOT

on carpet.

In the event of overheating, your MCA amplifier is equipped

with a thermal shut off feature. The amplifier will remain off

until the temperature falls below the shut off threshold.

Once this condition is met, the amplifier will reset itself and

it can be powered on again.

PACKING MATERIALS

Please retain all of the packing material and shipping boxes

for your MCA Amplifier. They are custom designed to 

prevent shipping damage from occurring. Sonic Frontiers

Int’l will accept no responsibility for any damage occurring

to an MCA Amplifier that is shipped in packing material

other than the original Sonic Frontiers packing material.

DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY

Under no circumstances does Sonic Frontiers Int’l assume

liability or responsibility for injury or damages sustained in

the use or operation of this equipment or for damages to

any other equipment connected to it.

Sonic Frontiers Int’l reserves the right to make design

changes or improvements without the obligation to revise

prior versions. All specifications are subject to change

TROUBLESHOOTING

If at any time the MCA Amplifier fails to work properly, consult

this checklist:

1. Check that the AC Detachable Power Cord is plugged into

the Detachable Power Cord Socket (E) and is connected to a

live source of AC power. For instance, if using a power bar,

check that the bar is turned on.

2. Ensure that all Input and Output connections are secure for 

a proper electrical contact.

3.Ensure that the amplifier is configured for the appropriate ON

MODE in your system setup.

If a problem still persists, please contact your authorized

Anthem Dealer or the Factory directly.
