GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS 

 
Please read the owner’s manual carefully and keep it safely. If you have any questions, we ask you to contact 
your local authorized dealer.

 

 
 

Operating temperature

  An  operating  temperature  that  is  too  high  or  too  low  may  cause  malfunctioning.  We 

therefore  recommend  letting  the  unit  settle  for  a  while  after  unpacking  before  connecting 
and operating it. 

 
 

Setting up

 

When choosing a place for your equipment please observe the following: 
-  Avoid direct sunlight. 
-  Do not expose the equipment to excessive heat, cold, humidity or dust. 
-  Provide adequate air circulation; avoid placing the equipment in enclosures. 
-  Slots and other openings in the housing are for ventilation. They must not be covered up. 
-  Please make sure that the component is not exposed to dripping water or splash water,  

 

 

also don’t place boxes with liquid onto your component. 

-  Open flames like candles must not be placed on top of any electronic unit. 

 
 

Mains voltage

 

Check before operating the unit to see if the mains voltage setting shown on the back panel 
below  the  AC  mains  input  conforms  to  the  voltage  of  your  household  power  supply.  Any 
changes should only be done by an expert only. 
For AC connection please use only the three-pronged power cable provided. 
The  grounding  pin  should  not  be  bypassed  under  any  circumstances.  Connect  the 
component only to a wall outlet with fully functional grounding pin. 

 
 

Comm. operation

 

Before installation, switch off all other components of your hifi system. Switch them back on 
only after making sure that all connections have been made correctly and completely. 
Never  try  to  operate  the  equipment  when  it  has  obviously  been  damaged  or  if  liquid  has 
gotten into it. 

 
 

Terminals

 

The  pins  of  the  connecting  terminals  on  the  back  panel  must  not  be  touched  under  any 
circumstances. Static discharges may damage the electronic circuitry inside the unit. 

 
 

Interconnects

 

We supply custom-made balanced as well as unbalanced interconnect cables and speaker 
cables  of  any  length  to  ensure  highest-quality  signal  paths  for  our  components.  The 
impedance of our cables is ideally matched to all BURMESTER components. 
For the cleanest power supply we recommend our triple-shielded power cord BURMESTER-
POWER. 

 
 

Heat development

 

Be careful when touching the housing – it may get quite warm during operation. 

 
 

Reset

 

If the unit does not react when pressing the control keys on the front panel it may be reset 
to normal operation by switching it off and back on using the AC mains switch in the back.
