Please take a few moments now to read these instructions thoroughly so you may fully understand the sophisticated capabilities of your new Parasound HCA-2200II power amplifier.

Unpacking

The HCA-2200II is packed in two strong cardboard cartons. Save your cartons and the styrofoam inserts for future safe transport in case you move or the unit ever requires shipping for repair. Note, the inner printed carton is not itself strong enough for safe shipping, so you absolutely must place it into the additional outer "overcarton" before shipment.

To remove the unit, you may use the handles at front and rear to balance its weight. You may findit easier if you first rest the unit on its rear handles so you can change your grip before moving it to its correct horizon- tal position. Take care not to cut or scratch yourself on the exposed extruded metal heatsinks on either side of the unit.

The AC cord is packed separately in the carton. This is a specially selected audiophile grade cord and is the only cord we recommend for use with the HCA-2200II. Please don't lose it.

Before you proceed, find the serial number which is located on the rear panel ofthe unit and record it here for future reference or in case of casualty loss or theft:________________

Warning:To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this unit to rain or moisture.
