Unpacking and Installation
The carton and shipping materials used
in protecting your new amplifier were
specially designed to cushion it from the
shocks and vibration of shipping. We
suggest that you save the carton and
packing materials for use in shipping if
you move or if the unit ever needs repair.
To minimize the size of the carton in
storage, you may wish to flatten it.
Carefully remove any staples used to
close carton seams; carefully slit the tape
on the bottom and collapse the carton.
Other cardboard inserts may be stored in
the same manner. Packing materials that
cannot be collapsed should be saved
along with the carton in a plastic bag.
When positioning the amplifier in its
final location, make certain that it has
adequate ventilation on all sides, as well
as on the top and bottom. Do not place
CDs, record jackets, owner’s manuals or
other paper on top of, or beneath the
unit, or in between multiple amplifiers in
a stack. This will block the air flow, caus-
ing degraded performance and a possible
fire hazard. If the unit is to be enclosed
in a cabinet or rack, make certain that
there is adequate air circulation, with
means provided for hot air to exit and for
cool air to be brought in.
