Installation and wiring
Carefully unpack the
K8
and store the original packing materials carefully. The
carton and packing are specially designed for this unit and will be needed again
if you wish to move the equipment at any time.
Please be sure to read the safety notes in these instructions.
If the unit gets very cold (e. g. when being transported), condensation may form
inside it. Please do not switch it on until it has had plenty of time to warm up to
room temperature, so that any condensation evaporates completely.
Before placing the unit on a sensitive surface, please check the compatibility of
the lacquer and the unit’s feet at a non-visible point.

The K8 must not be set up on a heat-sensitive surface, as the machine
can heat up to 60°C in use. If you wish to use such a surface, one solution
is to place an insulating layer between the machine and the surface.
 The unit should be placed on a rigid, level base.
The quality and characteristics of the base on which your high-quality Hi-
Fi equipment stands define the limits of sound quality which can be
achieved. The base surface should be as heavy, rigid, hard and level as
possible. Make sure there are no loose objects on the support surface
which could cause rattling noises or resonance effects.
The
K8
should be set up in a dry, well-ventilated site, out of direct sunlight and
away from radiators.
The unit must not be located close to heat-producing objects or devices, or
anything which is heat-sensitive or highly inflammable.
When installing the unit on a shelf or in a cupboard it is essential to provide an
adequate flow of cooling air, to ensure that the heat produced by the unit is
dissipated effectively. Any heat build-up will shorten the life of the unit and could
be a source of danger. Be sure to leave at least 10 cm free space above the
unit for ventilation. If the system components are to be stacked then the
amplifier must be the top unit. Do not place any object on the top cover.
Mains and loudspeaker cables, and also remote control leads must be kept as
far away as possible from signal leads and antenna cables. Never run them
over or under the unit.

Notes on connections:
•
Be sure to push all plugs firmly into their sockets. Loose connections can
cause hum and other unwanted noises.
•
When you connect the input sockets of the amplifier to the output sockets on
the source devices always connect like to like, i. e. 'R' to 'R' and 'L' to 'L'. If
you fail to heed this then the stereo channels will be reversed.
•
To achieve maximum possible interference rejection the mains plug should be
connected to the mains socket in such a way that phase is connected to the
mains socket contact marked with a dot (

). The phase of the mains socket
can be determined using a special meter. If you are not sure about this,
please ask your specialist dealer.
We recommend the use of the
 'POWER LINE'
ready-to-use mains lead in
conjunction with the
'POWER BAR'
mains distribution panel, which is fitted with
a phase indicator as standard.
When you have completed the wiring of the system please set the volume
control to a very low level before switching the system on.
The screen on the
K8
should now light up, and the unit should respond to the
controls.
If you encounter problems when setting up and using the amplifier for the first
time please remember that the cause is often simple, and equally simple to
eliminate. Please refer to the section of these instructions entitled
'Trouble
shooting'
