4 Connections

■Connecting Devices

●Make sure the power of all related equipments is turned off, when wiring and checking their polarity.

●Make sure that the cable is not shorted, when connecting the speaker cable.

●Connect the power cable after all connections are complete.

Connection example 1: Common setting for playing stereo sounds

●This product should be placed close to the main source of electrical power (wall outlet in your house) and keep the power plug within reach.

●Connectors names may be different from this manual.

✱Refer to the owner's manuals of the equipments to be connected as well.

(* 2) For safety purpose, a ground wire is attached to the supplied AC cable. Be sure to connect the ground wire to the ground terminal in the outlet before connecting the plug to the outlet.When disconnecting the AC cable, dis- connect the power plug before disconnecting the ground wire.

●Connection of the REMOTE POWER CONTROL Trigger

By connecting the REMOTE POWER CONTROL Trigger, the activation/deactivation of power on a Flying Mole power amplifier equipped with REMOTE POWER CONTROL Trigger Input can be interlocked with the activa- tion/deactivation of power on this device. Refer to the owner’s manuals of the devices to be connected as well before connecting cables.

1. Remove the attachment to the REMOTE POWER CONTROL connectors.

2. Remove insulation material around the ends of the supplied remote con- nection cables and twist the wires until they are stranded securely.

3. Insert the wires into the holes in the attachment and tighten the screws

to fix the cables. (Be sure to check polarity before connection)	Supplied remote	+

•To control the power of the other product from this product, connect the con- nectors to the "OUT" of the amplifier and to the "IN" of the other product.

*Commercially available vinyl insulated cables can be used as well. • Compatible cable type is AWG24 to AWG12. Refer to the steps 1 through 4 above when connecting cables and make sure that the polarity is correct.

●Connecting a Speaker Cable

qStrip the cover of the cable by about 10mm (3/8”). e Turn a speaker connector counterclockwise to loosen it.

w Twist the wires until they are stranded securely. r Insert the whole stranded wires of the cable and turn the

speaker connector clockwise to tighten it.

10mm

*Twist the wires of the speaker cable until they are stranded securely and take care not to leave any part of the stranded wires out of the speaker connector when connecting the speaker cable. If the wires come in contact with the rear panel or the wires at the positive terminal come in contact with the wires at the negative terminal, the protection circuit may be activated to stop the normal operation of the product.

Caution

●This product has DC amplifier circuit construction. (Sound signal goes through no capacitor from input to the speaker output.)

Therefore, a little noise may be heard when the power is turned on or off depending on the connected device.

●This product processes digital signals. This product may cause harmful interference to other equipment depending on environments where they are used. If interference is caused, install the product where the interference is minimized.

In general, it is effective to keep the product as far away from the interfered equipment as possible. Bad receiving condition may be experienced, especially if an indoor antenna or a feeder line is used for TV or radio broadcasting, because their receiver sensitivity of airwaves tends to be low and is vulnerable to external influence. In such a case, an outdoor antenna or a coaxial cable is recommended.

7 Maintenance

Never use liquids such as benzine, thinners, etc., chemically treated cloths, and do not spray any aerosol type insecticides on the amplifier. Clean the case using only a soft, dry cloth.

If the amplifier becomes soiled, mix a solution of water and a neutral detergent then dampen a soft cloth in the solution, wring out as much of the solution as possible, and clean the am- plifier. Then use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface dry.
