Mains connection

The mains input * is on the back panel of the STERN. Use the included power
cord to connect the unit to mains. If you prefer to use a different power cord,
make sure that it meets the specifications for your home country.

Important

•

The electrical specifications of your home country must meet the electrical
specifications printed onto the back panel.

•

The STERN is a Class I unit and must be earthed. Please ensure a stable earth
connection. The phase ('hot' pin) is marked on the back panel
('PHASE') .

•

Never pull the mains plug while the STERN is switched on! Before you pull the
power cord off its socket at the back panel, power down the unit to stand-by
mode first.

The STERN should only be switched off from the mains in cases of extended
absence (like vacations) or if massive trouble on the mains power is to be ex-
pected. Pull the power cord off the mains input socket to completely discon-
nect the unit from mains.

Tip

•

The use of high quality power cords could improve the sound quality. Please
ask your local retailer for more information.

*

Please refer to the sections "Overview front panel" on page 7 and "Overview back panel" on page 8.
