-Check that the volume control on your preamplifier or source component is set to zero then turn on the preamplifier.

-Connect the female end of the 200P mains/line cord to the mains/line input receptacle (6). Plug the male end into the closest available power point and switch on the mains/line power.

-Switch the 200P mains power switch (5) to the ON "I " position and listen to each speaker in turn for any undesirable humming or buzzing noises.

-Without programme source material slowly increase the volume on the preamplifier listening for undesirable noises. A certain amount of hiss may become apparent as the gain of the preamplifier is increased, this is normal.

If problems occur, utilise the various fault finding chapters in this manual, or consult your Perreaux dealer. Otherwise your installation is now complete, and ready for you to sit back and enjoy.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION PRECAUTIONS

-Leave the top and bottom of the clear at all times allowing adequate airflow around the sides of the unit. Do not site this unit directly on carpet or other soft

surfaces. Do not place auxiliary equipment directly on top of the 200P.

-Always operate in a horizontal position.

-Install away from excessive heat and moisture. Do not allow the ambient

temperature around the 200P to exceed 40º Celsius (105º Fahrenheit.)

-Check the mains/line voltage stated on the rear panel of your .200P Supply voltage must be within 5% +/- of the stated voltage. (See relevant section

MAINS-/LINE VOLTAGE )

-Connect all your hi-fi equipment to the same mains/line source to avoid possible earthing problems.

-Do not change the fuse to any type or rating other than that indicated on the rear panel or owners manual.

-Always ensure your 200P is disconnected from the mains/line supply if changing the mains/line fuse.

-Do not drive the inputs with a voltage source greater than that which is required to drive the 200P to its maximum dynamic output.

-Do not run the outputs in series or parallel.

-Do not earth any positive terminal or connect the input to the output earth.

-Do not connect the output of the 200P to any other voltage source.

-Do not run the outputs into the inputs of the 200P.

-Operation of the 200P in the vicinity of a strong radio frequency (RF) source should be countered by RF filtering on all inputs and outputs including the

mains/line supply. Any doubts or suspicions should be conveyed to your Perreaux dealer. RF interference can cause serious loudspeaker damage.

-Always turn your Perreaux 200P on last and off first making sure the volume control of the preamplifier is set to zero in both cases. This will eliminate the possibility of damage to loudspeakers or fuses due to switching transients.

-Always switch off the 200P and zero the volume control on your preamplifier before making any connection alterations.

-Make all connections logically and care- fully, outputs first then inputs, checking that you are maintaining channel integrity.

-Keep all inter-linking cables and loudspeaker leads as far apart as possible and well away from all mains/line cables.

MAINS/LINE VOLTAGE

It is important that the 200P be operated from the correct mains/line voltage. The unit is factory set for the voltage applicable to the original country of destination. The correct operating voltage is indicated by the MAINS VOLTAGE / FUSE RATING LABEL (9) on the rear panel .The 200P will operate satisfactorily within a voltage variation of up to +/- 5% either side of that voltage at which the unit has been set.
