CHAPTER 1

Installation

Observe the following precautions when choosing a location for your preampliÞer:

•Do not cover any of the ventila- tion slots.

•Do not place directly on top of a power ampliÞer.

•Protect it from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and other direct sources of heat, such as heating vents and radiators.

•Do not expose the unit to rain or moisture. If ßuid or a for- eign object should enter the unit, immediately turn off the power and contact your SunÞre Dealer.

•Avoid excessive exposure to extreme cold or dust.

•Do not place heavy objects on top of the unit.

AC Power Considerations

Ensure that the unit is plugged into an outlet capable of supplying the correct voltage speciÞed for your model.

Care

If you need to clean the front sur- face, Þrst turn off the power and then use a dry cloth, rubbing with the grain. Be careful not to scratch the Þnish.

to prevent any hum or inter- ference heard in the speakers.

•Choose reliable hookup cables. They should be fully shielded and as short as possible.

•Some patch cords can be a very tight Þt and there is usu- ally a preferred method of get- ting them off. Some have to be removed with a twisting action. Be gentle or you may damage the jacks of your preampliÞer, or other components.

•Some audiophile cables should be hooked up in one direction, these are usually marked with arrows.

•It is usual for the right channel patch cord plugs to be red and the left channel connections to be white, grey or black.

12 VDC Trigger

The preampliÞer's Trigger terminal supplies 12 VDC whenever the preampliÞer is turned on. This can be used to turn on SunÞre power ampli- Þers or other equipment with a 12 V trigger input.

Use all standard safety pre- cautions and make sure all the equipment is disconnected before making any connec- tions.

You can connect an external IR receiver to the preampliÞer's rear IR port. This will allow you to operate the preampliÞer from a remote location.

Place the preampliÞer or any external Infrared receivers in a place where there is a direct line of sight from your listening position.
