• Take note of the listed Precautions

LISTENING RECOMMENDATIONS

Please note that your new PRePro will improve sonically over the course of the first week. After the first week, you will notice that the sound of your new product has become richer, warmer and more open!

Placement Guidelines

Please follow these guidelines for placement of your PRePRo. This will insure ease of use and long, reliable operation:

•Place the PRePro so that the front panel TFT display can be seen easily. The TFT dis- play is best viewed no more than 15° to either side of its axis and no more than 30° above or 10° below axis.

•Keep the PRePro away from heat sources

such as air ducts or radiators.

•Leave at least 1" of space on all sides and the top. This is to insure that the PRePro will not overheat.

•If you wish to mount the PRePro within a rack system there are rack adapters avail- able for this purpose. Please contact Bel Canto Design or your dealer for information.

AC Connecti AC Connection and Power

The PRePro will have its voltage set internal- ly for your region’s power, insure that this is correctly indicated. Plug the supplied power cord into an AC outlet that is always live (unswitched). The PRePro will not oper- ate properly if it’s plugged in to an AC out- let that might be switched off. Use the front panel master power button to turn the AC power on to the unit. The only time you

might want to use the AC Power switch again is if you plan to be away for an extended time or if you need to do a sys- tem reset after a power surge or power out- age. Note: Do not turn off the AC Power switch or unplug either end of the AC cord before the PRePro has first been turned off by the remote control or front panel On-Off button!

Quick Setup

After making all component connections as described in HARDWARE SET UP install power cord to PRePro. Press the master power button on the left side of the front panel. Press any input select button on the left side of panel (example DVD) to turn PRePro on.

Press the MENU button on the remote con- trol or the MENU button on the front panel to the right of the screen. The main menu will appear on the front panel monitor.
