Congratulations on your purchase of this precision audio component and thank you for your selection of

choice.

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

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 the packing inserts for future safe transport in case you move or the unit requires
shipping for repair.   Note: the actual printed carton is not itself strong enough for safe shipping;  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 of the T/DQ-1600

Keep your Parasound T/DQ-1600 away from direct sunlight that may interfere with its remote control
sensor.  It should be placed away from a heat source such as hot air registers or radiators.  Do not place
the unit directly on a pile carpet that could interfere with air flow into its bottom vent openings.  If you
stack your components, we suggest you place your T/DQ-1600 below or alongside other components
which may generate heat.  Additionally, close proximity to some power amplifiers or CD players may
interfere with clear radio reception of your T/DQ-1600.
