U.S. Audio has made every effort to ensure that your
equipment is received in the same perfect condition it was in
when it left the factory. Please inspect your product for any signs
of damage during shipping and report them to your dealer so
that a claim can be presented to the shipper. We recommend
that you save your packaging material for use in the unlikely
event that you need to return your equipment for service.
UNPACKING
In order to deter users from making unauthorized adjustments to the input
gain during use, the input gain controls on the PRESSPOWER 2 have
been changed from knob adjustment to adjustment by screwdriver, coin,
pocketknife etc.
If knob actuation is desired, remove the black bushings and install the
included knobs as follows. Carefully pry the edge of the bushings away
from the front panel and depress the plastic fingers that hold them in place.
The fingers are located behind the printed areas on the face of the
bushing. Rotate the control fully counterclockwise, align the knob’s pointer
with the scale and push it onto the shaft. If repositioning is required, the
knob insert must be removed separately by grabbing the rectangular top
with pliers and pulling it off. Reinstall the insert into the knob by aligning the
ridge of the insert into the knob by aligning the ridge on the insert with the
groove inside the knob behind the pointer.
