Congratulations on your purchase of this precision audio component and thank you for your selection of
Parasound.  Your P/LD-2000 Balanced Line Drive Preamplifier has been designed with the latest
technology to become the heart of the finest music systems.   Premium parts and advanced design by
renowned circuit designer John Curl combined with full remote control make the P/LD-2000 one of the
finest preamplifier values ever offered.  You have made an excellent choice.

Please take a few moments to read these instructions thoroughly so you may fully understand the
sophisticated capabilities of your new preamplifier.

Unpacking

Remove the remote control handset and the AC cord which are packed separately inside the carton.  We
recommend using only this specially selected cord for the best musical reproduction.

Save your carton and inserts for future safe transport in case you move or the unit requires shipping for
repair.  The printed carton itself  is not strong enough for safe shipping, so you must place this carton
into an additional outer “overcarton” before shipment.

Before you proceed, find the serial number which is located on the rear panel of the unit and note it here
for future reference or in case the unit is ever stolen  ____________________

Placement

Keep your Parasound P/LD-2000 shaded from direct sunlight which can interfere with its remote control
sensor.  It should be placed away from moisture or heat sources such as hot air registers or radiators.  If
you stack your components, we suggest you place your P/LD-2000 below or alongside other
components which may generate heat.  Proximity to some power amplifiers may contaminate low level
signals with radiated hum from their transformers.
