INSTALLATION
This section describes the unpacking and installation procedures for your new component.
UNPACKING
All Cary Audio Design shipping containers have been specially designed to protect their contents and
special care has been taken to prevent damage under normal shipping conditions. Mishandling should
be evident upon inspection of the shipping container. If shipping damage is found after visual
inspection, take care not to destroy the evidence. If necessary, document the damage with photographs
and contact the transport carrier immediately.
Carefully remove your new component from its packing carton and examine it closely for signs of
shipping damage. We strongly recommend saving all original packing cartons to protect your amplifier
from damage should you wish to store it or ship it for after-sales service.
WARRANTY CARD
IN THE USA AND CANADA:
If you are the original purchaser of a new unit purchased from an
authorized Cary Audio dealer or from CaryDirect.com, please fill out the enclosed warranty registration
card and return it to Cary Audio within 15 days of your purchase. Cary Audio also suggests that you
keep your original packing cartons in case you ever need to ship the unit. Warranty restrictions apply.
Consult the warranty section at the end of this manual for details. Please be certain to keep a copy of
the original sales receipt from your direct purchase from Cary Audio or your authorized Cary Audio
dealer to validate the warranty if ever needed. The warranty is for the original purchaser only and does
not transfer to any subsequent owner.
OUTSIDE THE USA AND CANADA:
Your local authorized Cary Audio distributor will make his own
warranty policy for your country. Please check with them for the terms of warranty for your new
amplifier.
PLACEMENT
In general, the location of your new VT-500 is not critical. Certain precautions must be taken to ensure
optimum performance. Avoid extremely hot locations such as near radiators or other heating units. Keep
the top of the VT-500 clear of books, paper or other equipment to protect against overheating! DO NOT
place your VT-500 in a closed bookcase - overheating will damage the amplifier! Allow 8 to 10 inches
above the unit for proper ventilation.
POWER REQUIREMENTS
The VT-500 is designed to operate from house current mains. The design voltage is 120/240 volts AC
at 50/60Hz.
WARNING
•
Make sure the VT-500 is unplugged from power pack before servicing.
