Placement and Cabling
Placement
MERAK should be placed on a solid and stable surface with good ventilation. Do not in-
stall this product near any heat sources such as radiators or other product (such as am-
plifiers) that produce heat. Site the product so that its location or position does not inter-
fere with its proper ventilation. For example, it should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug,
or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings, or placed in a built in installation
such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation
openings.
Ventilation Requirement
MERAK dissipates 15 Watts of power during play back mode without sig-
nal input; this number will rise to about 70Watt at peak output. It should be
installed in a space with at least five inches of clearance behind; two
inches both sides of its enclosure to provide adequate ventilation. Avoid
placing it directly above other equipment that produces heat.
Check Your AC Mains Voltage
MERAK is shipped with its mains voltage preset for operation in the destination country.
The mains voltage setting is written on the back of the unit, left besides power cord socket.
Mains voltage setting is not intended to be changed by the user. If it needs to be changed,
contact your dealer or AURALiC.
The power cord has a three-wire grounding type plug (a plug having a third pin for
grounding). It will only fit into a grounding type power outlet. If you are unable to insert the
plug fully into the outlet, contact your dealer or AURALiC. Do not defeat the safety pur-
pose of the grounded type plug.
MERAK MUST BE USED WITH CORRECT
MAINS VOLTAGE AND PROPERLY EARTHED!
