Important Guidelines for Installation and Use
■
Do not connect the outputs of the amplifier to the speaker-level inputs of a powered subwoofer.
It could damage the amplifier
because the grounds of these inputs are usually tied together, and the amplifier’s output terminals are not.
■
Do not connect the AC power cord until all audio connections have been made.
■
Place the DPA-1 where it will not be exposed to moisture or direct sunlight.
■
Install the DPA-1 where it can get some ventilation. The amplifier doesn’t produce a great deal of heat, but using it in a sealed enclosure
with no airflow could have long-term negative effects on the unit's circuitry.
■
Use a soft microfiber cloth to clean dust and fingerprints off of the DPA-1's surface. Stubborn fingerprints or dirt may be removed by
spraying a small amount of water or window cleaner onto the cloth, then using the moistened cloth to clean the DPA-1. Do not spray any
cleaner or other moisture directly onto the DPA-1.
■
You will get the best and most reliable performance from the DPA-1 by using high-quality audio cables.
Maintenance
The DPA-1 requires no user maintenance, although it's a good idea to occasionally wipe any accumulated dust off of it. To do this, use a
soft microfiber cloth and wipe gently to remove any dust. Stubborn fingerprints or dirt may be removed by spraying a small amount of wa-
ter or window cleaner onto the cloth, then using the moistened cloth to clean the DPA-1. Do not spray any cleaner or other moisture di-
rectly onto the DPA-1.
If the DPA-1 does not seem to be working properly, please contact your dealer. Do not attempt to open the chassis;—there are no user-
serviceable parts inside.
