AC POWER CABLE CONNECTION
If the wall outlet you plan to use for the Symphony has an on/off switch, check that
it is switched off.
Insert the supplied AC mains cord into the receptacle on the rear of the Symphony
and ensure that it is pushed securely home.
Insert the other end of the mains cable securely into the mains outlet. Take care to
arrange the cable so that it is not bent sharply and that its weight will not pull it out
of either the mains outlet, or the receptacle on the rear of the Symphony.
Do not switch the unit on yet.
SWITCHING ON FOR THE FIRST TIME
Check that all the signal cables in the system are correctly connected.
Select the appropriate input on the pre-amplifier and set the volume to minimum.
Switch on the pre-amplifier and your signal source. We will assume is a CD player.
Allow the system to stabilize for 2 minutes, then put a CD into the player and press
play.
If the wall outlet you are using for the Symphony is switchable, switch it on now.
Press the power switch on the front panel. When the unit starts, this will glow green.
Allow the unit to stabilize for 2 minutes, then slowly increase the volume on the pre-
amplifier to a comfortable level. The unit is now ready for use.
If you experience any problems, please refer to the TROUBLE SHOOTING section of
this manual.
BREAKING IN
Although your VIOLA Symphony power amplifier will deliver outstanding performance
straight out of the box, you may expect to hear it continue to improve as it reaches
its normal operating temperature and its various components "break-in." It has been
our experience that the greatest changes occur within the first 25-50 hours. The
amplifier will continue to improve in sound quality for about 300 hours from the start
of use.
The only exception to this rule is if the unit is switched off, allowing it to cool down.
In this case, a brief warm-up period will be required before the amplifier's sound
quality reaches its best. It is not necessary to repeat the initial 300 hour break-in.
