Installation
What follows is a step-by-step guide to integrating this new amplifier into
a home theater system. If it seems overly detailed, please forgive us. We
would rather tell you too much than too little.
Placement
The AudioControl Pantages G3 is a very cool running amplifier, but it does
need some breathing room to operate properly. Make certain that the air
vents on the top and bottom of the amplifier are not blocked and have at
least ½” of air space. Also make certain that heat sensitive components
such as cable boxes or DVD players are not directly on top of The Pan-
tages G3. Just as a reminder, you should also avoid putting any leaky potted
plants on the audio equipment stack.
Power
Don’t plug it into a switched outlet on your system unless you are certain
that it can handle the power rating. Also, please don’t cut off the ground
pin on the power connector. It is an important safety feature. If you need
to plug it into a two prong outlet, use a ground adapter (and connect the
ground on it).
Remote Power Control
The Pantages G3 has three levels of power control:
1) Main AC Power switch- This is the master control and must be turned
ON for the amplifier to function. Normally the only time that you would
need to turn the AC power switch off is when the system is going to be
unused for an extended period.
2) Remote Power Control- This removable 3-pin remote connector on
the rear panel allows simple interfacing with external control systems. It ac-
cepts either a contact closure or ex12 volts DC. (see diagram)
3) The third level of power control is the front
panel STANDBY button. When there is AC
power and the rear panel AC MAIN switch is
on, this button lights blue. When the amplifier
is turned on, either by pressing the STANDBY
button or with the remote power trigger input,
the blue led on this button turns off.
