UNPACKING AND INSTALLATION

Unpacking

Your Cary Audio Design product was shipped in a carton particularly designed to protect its contents, and special care has been taken to prevent damage during shipping.

Carefully remove your new component from its packing carton and examine it closely for signs of shipping damage. If shipping damage is discovered, document the damage with photographs, contact the transport carrier immediately, and retain the packing as evidence.

We strongly recommend saving all original packing cartons to protect your component for storage or future shipping.

Power Requirement

The SA-500.1 is designed to operate from AC mains current. The specified AC voltage is either 110- 120 volts or 220-240 volts AC at 50-60 Hz.

Cables

The speaker cables from the output posts of the SA-500.1 power amplifier to the speaker system can be any length, as your speaker set-up requires. Select speaker cables of sufficient size to preserve the outstanding performance capabilities of your SA-500.1 power amplifier. Heavy gauge #14 wire is suitable for distances up to 10 feet, #12 for 25 feet. Most audio dealers will have proper speaker cable in stock for this purpose. Consult your Authorized Cary Audio Design dealer for advice about wire.

Interconnects

Signal input connections are made via the input jack on the rear of the SA-500.1 power amplifier, either single-ended or balanced. The interconnect cables from the output of the processor can be any convenient length your installation set-up requires. The choice of a high quality interconnect cable is important. Once again, your audio dealer will have the proper cables in stock for this purpose.
