PREFACE

CONGRATULATIONS

You have just acquired one of the most advanced and versatile components for the amplification of audio ever to have been developed.

IMPORTANT

Save all packaging in a dry place away from fire hazards. Your Intrepid is a precision electronic instrument and should be properly packaged any time shipment is made. In the unlikely event that you have to return your Intrepid to the factory for service or updating, the original packaging will best protect the unit from shipping damage.

In order to achieve the fullest flexibility and enjoyment from your Intrepid, we at Theta recommend that you read this manual in full before connecting the unit to your audio/video system.

Note: It is imperative that the Intrepid be operated in a well-ventilated environment and that the immediate external temperature be maintained as specified. External cooling fans may be required in some cases. Do not stack any equipment directly above or below the Intrepid to protect it from overheating, as well as to protect the continued functionality of equipment near and around it.

Warning: Each channel is a balanced bridge amplifier, thus the negative speaker terminal is NOT a ground, and cannot be connected to a system ground or a loudspeaker system with a common ground. Consult your speaker manufacturer to ensure that any speaker in your system that will be connected to the Intrepid does NOT have internal circuitry with a common ground.

WARNING

United States law prohibits disposition of these commodities to Libya, Laos, North Korea, Cambodia or Cuba unless otherwise authorized by the United States.
