-
Check that the volume control on your
preamplifier or source component is set
to zero then turn on the preamplifier.
- Connect the female end of the 200P
mains/line cord to the mains/line input
receptacle (6). Plug the male end into the
closest available power point and switch
on the mains/line power.
-
Switch the 200P mains power switch (5)
to the ON "I " position and listen to each
speaker in turn for any undesirable
humming or buzzing noises.
- Without programme source material
slowly increase the volume on the
preamplifier listening for undesirable
noises. A certain amount of hiss may
become apparent as the gain of the
preamplifier is increased, this is normal.
If problems occur, utilise the various fault
finding chapters in this manual, or consult
your Perreaux dealer. Otherwise your
installation is now complete, and ready for
you to sit back and enjoy.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
PRECAUTIONS
-
Leave the top and bottom of the clear at
all times allowing adequate airflow
around the sides of the unit. Do not site
this unit directly on carpet or other soft
surfaces. Do not place auxiliary
equipment directly on top of the 200P.
-
Always operate in a horizontal position.
- Install away from excessive heat and
moisture. Do not allow the ambient
temperature around the 200P to exceed
40º Celsius (105º Fahrenheit.)
-
Check the mains/line voltage stated on
the rear panel of your .200P Supply
voltage must be within 5% +/- of the
stated voltage.
(See relevant section
MAINS-/LINE VOLTAGE )
-
Connect all your hi-fi equipment to the
same mains/line source to avoid possible
earthing problems.
-
Do not change the fuse to any type or
rating other than that indicated on the
rear panel or owners manual.
- Always ensure your 200P is
disconnected from the mains/line supply
if changing the mains/line fuse.
- Do not drive the inputs with a voltage
source greater than that which is required
to drive the 200P to its maximum
dynamic output.
-
Do not run the outputs in series or
parallel.
- Do not earth any positive terminal or
connect the input to the output earth.
-
Do not connect the output of the 200P to
any other voltage source.
-
Do not run the outputs into the inputs of
the 200P.
-
Operation of the 200P in the vicinity of a
strong radio frequency (RF) source
should be countered by RF filtering on all
inputs and outputs including the
mains/line supply. Any doubts or
suspicions should be conveyed to your
Perreaux dealer. RF interference can
cause serious loudspeaker damage.
-
Always turn your Perreaux 200P on last
and off first making sure the volume
control of the preamplifier is set to zero in
both cases. This will eliminate the
possibility of damage to loudspeakers or
fuses due to switching transients.
-
Always switch off the 200P and zero the
volume control on your preamplifier
before making any connection
alterations.
-
Make all connections logically and care-
fully, outputs first then inputs, checking
that you are maintaining channel integrity.
- Keep all inter-linking cables and
loudspeaker leads as far apart as
possible and well away from all
mains/line cables.
MAINS/LINE VOLTAGE
It is important that the 200P be operated from
the correct mains/line voltage. The unit is
factory set for the voltage applicable to the
original country of destination. The correct
operating voltage is indicated by the MAINS
VOLTAGE / FUSE RATING LABEL (9) on
the rear panel .The 200P will operate
satisfactorily within a voltage variation of up
to +/- 5% either side of that voltage at which
the unit has been set.
