Powering the Amplifier

Power Cord  

(see

Figure 4

)

The Sonamp 875D SE features a removable IEC power cord. Plug the female end of the power
cord into the Power Cord Connector on the amplifier’s rear panel and plug the male end into a
20-amp grounded wall socket. DO NOT plug the power cord into an AC outlet on your 
preamplifier/receiver.

NOTE: If you need to use an extension cord, use only a heavy -duty (14-gauge or

larger) extension cord to avoid star ving the amplif ier of all the cur rent 

necessar y for full-power operation.

1. Remove the power cord from the wall outlet and from the amplifier’s Power Cord Connector.

2. Insert a flat-blade screwdriver or similar tool into the empty Power Cord Connector socket and gently pry the fuse holder out

of its socket. 

3. Install the proper fuse in the fuse holder and replace the fuse holder back into its socket next to the power cord connection.
When the amplifier is operating, the fuse will blow to protect it from possible internal parts failure. NEVER replace the fuse
with any size other than that indicated on the rear panel to avoid more serious damage and the risk of fire. Substitution
of a larger fuse may create serious damage to internal parts and will void your Sonance warranty.
