DD-8+ Power
BASIC OPERATION
To install a trigger cable:
• Power the controlling source and DD-8+ amplifier off.
• Connect the trigger cable to the controlling source and the DD-8+ amplifier.
• After the connections are made, power on the controlling source and the DD-8+ amplifier. After the
source unit is fully powered up, the LED power indicator on the front of the DD-8+ should be lit BLUE.
• Verify the trigger is working by putting the source unit into standby mode. The DD-8+ amplifier after a
short delay will also go into the standby mode and the power indicator will light up RED.
• Once you have verified that the trigger cable is working, only use the source unit to power on and off
your DD-8+ amplifier.
WARNING: When installing the trigger cable, never have the controlling source or DD-8+
amplifier powered on; doing so will cause the trigger device to work improperly and could
cause damage to both the source and amplifier.
8. AC Main Power Connector
Provides an AC power connection to the DD-8+ using the supplied power cord.
After all audio and system connections have been made, connect the power cord to an AC power source. Be sure
that any device connected to the remote trigger input is powered off when connecting the DD-8+ power cord to
an AC outlet.
WARNING: Do not plug the DD-8+ directly into the “Switched Accessory” outlet of another
device! These outlets are intended for use with low current draw products such as tuners,
CD players, Blu-ray players and other similar devices. These outlets are not designed to
handle the high current draw of a power amplifier. Using these outlets for a power amplifier
is a significant safety hazard.
9. MAC ID
The MAC ID for the unit is provided on a label located above the Ethernet port on the back on the DD-8+. This
identifier is unique to every unit – record and store this ID for network identification.
10. Reset
Resets all functions and controls to factory defaults.
NOTE: The RESET button will erase all custom configurations enacted up to that point in time. Use only as
a last resort when all other attempts to correct a fault have failed. See
Troubleshooting and Maintenance
section on page 27.
