Unpacking Your JC 1+ & Placement Guidelines
Unpacking Your JC 1+
Carefully remove your JC 1+ from its shipping carton and locate the enclosed accessories:
• AC power cord
• A 12V trigger wire for auto turn on (It has a mono 3.5 mm plug at each end)
• Rack mount ears
While you are unpacking your JC 1+, inspect it thoroughly for possible shipping damage and tell your
Parasound dealer immediately if you find any evidence of shipping damage. This would be a good time to
make a copy of your sales receipt to store with the JC 1+’s original packing.
Note: Please save and store both the inner and outer cartons and, most especially, the foam
packing inserts to protect the JC 1+ if you have to move it or ship it. You may wish to flatten the
cardboard cartons to save room in storage after cutting the taped seams on the bottom flaps.
Placement Guidelines
The JC 1+ will be easier to use and will last longer if you follow these simple guidelines:
• The JC 1+ should never be placed in a completely enclosed cabinet.
• Place the JC 1+ on a surface that will adequately support its substantial weight.
• Use input and output cables that are long enough to leave some slack; that will enable you to pull the JC 1+
out of a cabinet to check or to change connections without inadvertently disconnecting cables.
• Place your JC 1+ where you can route input and output signal cables as far as possible from any AC cords.
• Where input interconnects must cross AC cords they should do so only at a 90° right angle.
Ventilation Requirements
• Always position the JC 1+ horizontally.
• The JC 1+ should never be stacked directly above another power amplifier or directly below another component.
• Do not install the JC 1+ in an unventilated equipment cabinet or compartment. Pockets of stagnant hot air
can build up even in a cabinet with an open front and back.
AC Mains Voltage
NOTE: Before you plug this amplifier into an AC mains outlet:
The correct voltage for JC 1+ is printed on the rear panel, between the AC power switch and the power cord
connector. This must match the AC mains voltage where you live.
AC 115V ~60Hz or AC 230V ~50Hz
If you live in a region where the AC mains is 230V (220V-240V range):
Plugging this amplifier into a 220V-240V AC mains outlet when the unit is internally configured for 115V
(110V-120V range) and its main fuse value is for 115V operation will severely damage it and could put you at
risk of personal injury. If you are unsure of the internal voltage configuration for this amplifier you should have
a qualified electronics technician inspect it and reconfigure it as required. Amplifiers configured for 115V
which are damaged by 220V-240V are not covered under the Parasound Warranty.
AC Voltage Reconfiguring Technical Information
Parasound will provide technical information which pertains to the interior of this amplifier only to a qualified
audio electronics technician. This restriction is for your safety as well as the correct functioning of your amplifier.
Before Making Any Audio Connections
Always turn off your JC 1+ and disconnect the AC cord before making or changing any input, output or trigger
wire connections. Inserting or removing an input or output cable while the JC 1+ and your preamp are turned
on can result in a blast of sound that can damage your loudspeakers.
AC Power Cord
The AC cord supplied with your JC 1+ is a high quality IEC type cord. Please connect it directly to an AC wall
outlet or power conditioner that is always “live.” If possible, plug your JC 1+ into the same AC outlet that your
preamplifier is plugged into. If different AC outlets are used for the JC 1+ and other components, (including a TV
or video projector) the ground potential may be higher or lower between the outlets, resulting in audible hum.
