Unpacking
The 559 Stereo Power Amplifier comes in a box containing the
following components:
❍ 559 Stereo Power Amplifier.
❍ 1 power cord.
❍ 1 bridge mode link.
❍ This manual.
You are advised to retain the packing in case you need to
transport the unit.
The 559 Stereo Power Amplifier weighs 42kg. Do not
attempt to lift it without assistance.
Before connecting power
Before you begin installation you should ensure that your stereo
power amplifier is set to the correct voltage for your local AC
supply. If it is not, do not try to install the unit, and contact your
dealer.
Do not make connections, or insert or remove plugs, while
the unit is connected to the supply and switched on, as the
transients generated could damage the loudspeakers.
Safety warnings
❍ Do not expose the stereo power amplifier to dripping or
splashing.
❍ Do not place any object filled with liquid, such as a vase, on
the stereo power amplifier.
❍ Do not place naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,
on the stereo power amplifier.
To avoid overheating
During normal operation the internal heatsinks may become
quite hot. The stereo 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 stereo power amplifier:
❍ In direct sunlight.
❍ Near heat sources, eg a radiator.
❍ Stacked with any other audio products, as the heat it
generates may damage the other products.
Do not restrict airflow through the top and bottom vents.
