6.0 SYSTEM CONNECTIONS
6.1 Connect your I-30HD to the various components that you wish to use.
(Example: CD Player connected to Line Input via a pair of good quality RCA
terminated shielded cables, and your PC to the DAC input via USB cable.)
Check Channel designations (L + R, Red and Black).
6.2 Connect your amplifier’s speaker outputs using good quality designated
audiophile speaker cable to your speakers. (Your Authorized DARED Dealer
may be of assistance regarding cable selections.) Check channel designa-
tions, L & R (Left & Right) as well as Speaker Polarity Red & Black (+ and -).
6.3 With all input and output connections made, select the proper input AC
mains Voltage by sliding the voltage selector to the proper AC Voltage setting.
6.4 Use the supplied AC power cable connecting it to the IEC receptacle
located on the rear panel of the integrated amplifier’s chassis. Ensure that the
AC wall outlet you use has a functioning ground. Then, it is preferable that
you plug your I30-HD into a surge suppressor power bar used as well for
your other audio components, then best is to connect this directly into a dedi-
cated AC outlet. Best to avoid using an extension cord.
NOTE: In order to obtain the maximum performance from your audio system
we strongly recommend that the detachable power cord does not come into
physical contact with any of the interconnect cables running to and from your I
-30HD. In the event that this can’t be avoided, you should ensure that any
cables coming into contact with each other are crossed at ninety degree angle
to minimize the contact area.
