Installing the power amplifier
Unpacking
The power amplifier is supplied with the following accessories:
• Power cord.
• Bridge-mode links (G55-2, G56/G57-1).
• This manual.
If any of these items are missing please contact your dealer.
Note: You should retain the packaging in case you need to
transport the unit.
Siting
During normal operation the internal heatsinks may become quite
hot. The power amplifier should therefore be positioned to allow a
free flow of air through the cooling vents from the base to the top.
Do not place the power amplifier:
• In direct sunlight.
• Near heat sources, such as a radiator.
• Stacked with any other audio products, as the heat it generates
may damage the other products.
• On a soft surface, such as a carpet, which would obstruct the
ventilation holes in the base.
Standby
Once set up, the power amplifier can be left in standby as it
consumes minimal power in this mode.
To bring the amplifier out of standby press the button on the
front panel. Alternatively, the unit can be brought out of standby
automatically using the TRIGGER INPUT; see below.
If you are not going to use the power amplifier for a period of
several days you should switch off the unit completely, at the back
panel and disconnect it from the AC power supply.
Trigger input
The TRIGGER INPUT can be used to bring the power amplifier out
of standby by applying a signal from a control unit.
This chapter explains how to install the power amplifier. It describes what you should find
when you unpack the product, and how you should connect it to the other equipment in the
system.
You should not make any connections to the product or to any other component in the system
while the AC power supply is connected and switched on.
