SPR-16 E ownER’S manual
•
Keep away from moisture and avoid
excessive humidity
•
Do not allow liquids or foreign objects to
enter the unit
•
Household lighting equipment may not be
connected to the SPR-16 E because their
sockets are not designed for use with
balanced symmetrical power and may
present a shock hazard. We recommend
that only audio, video and computer
processing equipment be connected to the
SPR-16 E.
The SPR-16 E should be serviced by qualified
service personnel when:
•
The power supply cord or plug has been
frayed or cut.
•
Objects have fallen or liquid has spilled into
the unit.
•
The SPR-16 E has been exposed to
rain or other moisture.
•
The SPR-16 E does not appear to
operate normally, or exhibits a marked
change in performance.
•
The SPR-16 E has been dropped,
or the enclosure damaged.
Power Source
The power source to which the SPR-16 E is
connected should ideally be adequate for use
at 16 Amps. Though the system may function
with a 10 Amp panel circuit breaker, nuisance
circuit breaker tripping could result at your
service panel. If your system includes multi-
channel audio power amplifiers that require
more than modest power demands, a circuit
breaker with a rating of at least 16 Amps is
essential for optimum performance.
Placement
The SPR-16 E is manufactured with four
rubber feet for placement on any table, cabinet,
shelf, or floor. These rubber feet may be
easily removed with a standard Philips screw
driver when rack mounting adjacent to other
components. Because of the SPR-16 E’s
internal shielding, placement or proximity to
other components is not critical, and the SPR-
16 E does not produce any appreciable heat
under standard use. The SPR-16 E may also
be rack mounted in a standard 19” (48 cm)
rack by attaching the SPR-16 E rack ears.
These rack ears (contained within the plastic
rack kit package) mount flush with the back
portion of the SPR-16 E’s front panel. They
are attached to the chassis by removing the
(2) countersunk screws on each forward-side
of the chassis top cover. Each rack ear is
installed with (3) pan-head Philips screws
contained within the SPR-16 E rack mounting
kit. The third screw used for each rack ear
is for the center hole, located towards the
rear and aids in stabilizing the unit when rack
mounted.
Connections:
aC Cable Routing
Once the SPR-16 E is placed in your system,
the female end of the AC cord must be
plugged into the male IEC connector located
on the lower left hand side of the rear panel
(when facing the rear panel). Next, the male
plug must be connected to an appropriate
socket.
Connecting Components to the Digital -
Video Component aC outlet Banks
The SPR-16 E’s four “Digital - Video
Component AC Outlets” should be employed
for critical video components such as DVD
players, projectors, plasma, or LCD video
screens. When employing the SPR-16 E for
