User's Manual
Read and follow all safety instructions
shown on pages 2 and 3.
Observe the following precautions when
choosing a location for your Sunfire Amplifier:
•
Protect it from prolonged exposure to
direct sunlight and other direct
sources of heat, such as heating
vents and radiators.
•
Do not expose the unit to rain or
moisture. If fluid or a foreign object
should enter the unit, immediately turn
off the power and contact your Sunfire
Dealer.
•
Avoid excessive exposure to
extreme cold or dust.
•
Do not place heavy objects on top of
the unit.
•
Allow adequate ventilation around the
amplifier; do not cover the ventilation
slots.
AC Power Considerations
Ensure that the unit is plugged into an
outlet capable of supplying the correct voltage
specified for your model. The outlet should be
capable of supplying 15 amps for the 120V
model, 8 amps for the 230V model.
Care
If you need to clean the front surface, first
turn off the power and then use a slightly
dampened cloth, rubbing with the grain. Be
careful not to scratch the display window.
Connection Tips
Before setting up your new system,
please consider the following :
•
Always make sure that your compo-
nents are all turned OFF before
making or changing connections.
•
Make sure that the power cords of all
your components are attached to the
same outlet or at least to the same
circuit. This will reduce the possibility
of a ground loop in the system.
Make sure that the total current
draw does not exceed the
current rating of the outlet.
•
Use the XLR inputs if your preamplifier
has XLR outputs. These balanced
connections provide superior noise
rejection.
•
Whenever possible, keep the power
cords away from the signal cables
or speaker wires to prevent any hum
or interference being heard in the
speakers.
•
Do not place your preamplifier directly
on top of the amplifier, as it may pick
up hum from the massive AC power
transformer.
•
Choose reliable hookup cables, also
called patch cords or RCA cables. They
should be fully shielded and as short as
possible for the job.
•
Some patch cords can be a very tight
fit and there is usually a preferred
method of getting them off, some have
to be removed with a twisting action.
Be gentle or you may damage the
jacks of the amplifier or your other
components.
•
Some special patch cords can only be
hooked up in one direction, these are
usually marked with arrows.
•
It is usual for the right patch cord plugs
to be red and the left connections to be
white, grey or black. Video connections
are usually yellow.
