MOON i.5 Integrated Amplifier
Operating the i.5
We recommend that you leave your MOON i.5 Integrated Amplifier powered up at all times to maintain optimal performance.
In the event that you plan to be away from your home for a few days, powering off the Integrated Amplifier may not be a bad
idea. Once fully “broken-in”, please keep in mind that your i.5 will require several hours of playing time before it reaches its
peak performance after you’ve powered it up again.
Making the AC Connection
Connect the supplied AC power cable 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. For the best sonic performance, it is preferable that you
plug your MOON i.5 directly into a dedicated AC outlet and avoid using an extension cord. In order to obtain the maximum
performance from your audio system, we strongly recommend that the detachable power cord not come into physical contact
with any of the interconnect and speaker cables running to and from your i.5. In the event that this can’t be avoided, you
should ensure that any cables coming into contact with each other are crossed at a ninety degree angle to minimize the
contact area.
Turning on your MOON i.5 for the first time
Prior to turning the integrated amplifier on for the first time, make sure that every cable is properly connected to avoid any
problems. Then turn on your integrated amplifier in the following manner:
1)
Flick the main rocker switch labeled “POWER” to the ‘1’ (on) position on the rear of the i.5.
2)
Press the push button labeled “Standby” on the i.5s front panel. The blue LED will illuminate.
On and Off Sequence
To avoid having any annoying noises (ie. “thumps” and “pops”) emanate from your speakers when powering your i.5 on or
off, you should
1)
Always power up your i.5 integrated amplifier after powering up your source component(s).
2)
Always power down your i.5 before powering down your source component(s).
