Parasound Halo C1 Controller Thank YOU, Congratulations, and Thank You for Choosing Parasound

THANK YOU!

Congratulations, and Thank You for Choosing Parasound

Your new Halo by Parasound® C 1 Controller presents the latest advancements in surround- processor technology. The C 1 is built to the strict quality and performance standards set by Parasound. We’re proud to offer you this exceptional audio component that will bring you many years of enjoyment and dependability.

Here at Parasound, we design our products to perform at a higher level of flexibility and sonic performance than you may have expected. We encourage you to read this entire manual to learn all the features and capabilities of your new Halo C 1 Controller.

Most audio-component manuals start by telling you how to connect and set up the equipment, then tell you how to use it. That’s logical, but once the installation’s done, it makes you leaf past all the setup info each time you want a reminder of how some button works. So we’ve put setup and connection details in the back, though we’ve included brief descriptions in the “Getting Started” section just ahead.

For detailed operating information, “Getting Started” is followed by sections on using the controls and remotes, and on adjustments and setups (which you may wish to change from time to time). Information on connections, trouble-shooting, and specifications are at the end, together with the obligatory acknowledgements that, yes, we are using various trademarks and technologies under license from their owners.

If you’re eager to get up and running right away, simply follow the basic step-by-step instruc- tions. If you want to learn about some of the technical and design aspects of your C 1, refer to the Technically Speaking and Design Overview sections in the back of the manual. If you run into difficulties, the Troubleshooting Guide should help you quickly remedy the problem. We appreciate you taking the time to read these instructions and thank you for selecting Parasound for your listening pleasure. And for updates and corrections to this manual, check our Web site, www.parasound.com/halo.

Enjoy.
