Dectet Power Center
The Power Center is best left plugged in to the AC source at all times. The current draw is negligible
and keeping it powered on will make sure the internal components stay working properly.
There is no harm in leaving the unit on at all times as the lifespan of the Power Center will be unaffected
by leaving it on.
There are no user replaceable internal fuses or circuit breakers inside the Power Center.
Placement of the Power Center is not critical. Placement with respect to other equipment can be
important. In general, place the Power Center close to the equipment you wish to power. It is always
preferable to have a long heavy gauge power cable feeding the Power Center if there is a distance
problem.
Isolation through the use of spikes, cones or Sorbothane feet is recommended for the Power Center
if space and budget allows. Isolation of any piece of high-end stereo and theater equipment is always
recommended wherever practical.
Yes, cables make a difference. It is important to use the best power cables possible. Remember that
everything you see and hear in an AV system is nothing more than the power from the wall modulated
by a CD, DVD, turntable or tuner. You are actually “listening or viewing” the AC power. So it is critically
important to connect your equipment with the heaviest gauge well shielded power cables you can
afford. Power is the foundation of everyone’s system.
A slow blinking logo power button means there is an over or under voltage situation and the unit has
shut off. This occurs when greater than 20% of the rated voltage is exceeded or if the voltage is below
25% of the rating. The Power Center should automatically turn back on when the voltage on the line
has returned to normal. If it does not, simply press the logo power button to reactivate the Power
Center.
The Power Center is specific to your country’s voltage. Do not use the Power Center on a voltage
higher than it is rated for. For instance, do not take a 120 volt rated Power Center and attempt to use
it in a 230 volt country. Failure to observe this cautionary note will void your warranty and may damage
the Power Center. If you need to operate the Power Center at a voltage other than the voltage it was
designed for, contact your dealer, distributor or the factory.
