15	CONNECTING THE P 3 AC POWER CORD

AC Power Connections

We recommend plugging your P 3 into the same AC outlet or power strip used for your accompanying audio components, especially the power amplifier and source components.

What You’ll Need:

•An IEC 65 AC Cord (provided)

•An AC outlet or power strip within reach of the AC cord

Before Connecting

Remove power to all the components in your audio system.

To Connect

1Plug the female end of the AC cord into the AC receptacle on the rear of the P 3.

2Plug the male end of the AC cord into an active AC outlet.

AC Voltage Selection Switch

The P 3 can operate on either 110-120 Vac or 220-240 Vac operation. When you purchased your P 3, its rear panel Voltage Selector switch was already set for the proper voltage in your area. Nevertheless, it’s wise to double-check it before plugging into an AC outlet.

If you move to a location with a different line voltage, you can easily convert the P 3.

For 110-120 Vac Operation: Remove the lock-out bracket with a phillips screwdriver. Next, slide the switch toward the left until the groove on the switch lines up with 115/60Hz. Replace lock-out bracket.

For 220-240 Vac Operation: Remove the lock-out bracket with a phillips screwdriver. Next, slide the switch toward the left until the groove on the switch lines up with 230V/50Hz. Replace lock-out bracket.

If you’re unsure about the correct setting for your region, please consult your Parasound dealer or a qualified service technician.
