UNPACKING & SET-UP
Your
CLASSÉ
P-203
power amplifier is packed in high density, semi-rigid foam placed in a
special cardboard box. To remove the unit, open and spread all the top flaps of the box and by its
sides, lift out the entire unit and put it on a large flat surface. Take it out of the plastic bag and
inspect the unit for any concealed damage. Apart from this owner's manual, please ensure the
following has also been included:
1) Detachable A.C. linecord
2) Allen key for top plate
3) Nut driver for output connectors
Please report any damage or missing parts to your dealer immediately.
Place
the
P-203
at or near its final set-up position, allowing 8 inches at the rear for tightening
the speaker output connectors. For optimum sonic performance, we recommend the optional
CLASSÉ
REFERENCE A.C. LINECORD
. Consult your dealer regarding this accessory.
The power transformer in the
P-203
is located at the front-center of the unit. Ideally, a few
feet should separate this area from components which potentially could pick up hum. These include
preamplifiers, turntables, and interconnect cables. In terms of providing adequate airspace for
cooling, a good rule of thumb is to allow 6 inches above and 3 inches on each side of the unit.
Check the Serial Number sticker on the back of the unit for the correct operating voltage.
The
P-203
has one external AC fuse, the rating of which should be as follows:
LINE VOLTAGE
FUSE RATING
100 or 120 V.A.C. 10 AMP SLOW BLOW 125 or 250 volts
220 or 240 V.A.C
8 AMP SLOW BLOW
