stable earth connection. Phase ('hot' pin) is marked on the back panel
('

If you connect the mains cord please make sure that mains switch 1
at the back panel is switched off.
·
Never pull the mains plug while the PRE1 G3 is switched on! Before
you pull the mains cord off its socket 22 at the back panel, power down
the unit to stand-by mode and switch off the unit using mains switch 1 .
Only in cases of extended absence – like vacations – or if massive trouble
on the mains power is to be expected you should switch off the PRE1 G3
from the mains using mains switch 1 . To disconnect the unit completely
from mains pull the mains plug.
Tip
·
The use of high quality mains cords could improve sound quality.
Ask your local dealer for more information.
4.3 Orientation of mains plug
The correct polarization of mains is important for reasons of audio clarity
and stability. Please connect the mains cord so that the hot pin of the wall
outlet is connected to the pin of the mains input 22 marked '
phase
' 21 .
Your Audionet PRE1 G3 is able to detect a wrong polarization of the
mains plug during start-up. If the message
Attention: Mains
Phase incorrect!
appears in the display, switch off the unit and flip the mains plug in the
wall outlet (see section '
Mains phase detection ' on page 16).
4.4 Additional earth connection
Included with the PRE1 G3 you will find a green-yellow cord for the
additional earth connection. Attach this cord to the earth connector 2 on
the back panel of the PRE1 G3 and put the plug into the mains socket
right beside the mains cord of your PRE1 G3. This ensures an additional
and stable earth connection resulting in a better sound.
Note
·
We strongly recommend using the additional earth connection!
·
Also, a stable earth connection is necessary for the PRE1 G3 detect-
ing the polarization of mains phase correctly.
