SAVE THE PACKAGING

Please save the box and all of the packaging in which your S170i arrived. Should you move or otherwise need to transport your preamplifier, this is by far the safest container in which to do so. We’ve seen too many otherwise perfect components damaged in transit for lack of a proper shipping carton, so please: Save that box!

CHOOSING A LOCATION

We hope you will agree that the S170i’s finish-quality and appearance earn it pride of place in any home theater or music system. Choose a location that is well ventilated (with at least several inches to both sides and behind), and that will provide a clear line of sight, within 25 feet/8 meters, between the preamp’s front panel and your primary listening/viewing position to ensure reliable infrared remote control communications. Due to the S170i’s high-speed DSP hardware and high-current audio circuits it generates a modest amount of heat, but nothing that should trouble any adjacent components. It is perfectly safe to stack additional components atop the S170i, or vice versa, but it is probably preferable (and considerably more handsome) if the S170i stands alone.
