Amplifier Maintenance and Cleaning Amplifier Maintenance and Cleaning
Maintenance and Cleaning Maintenance and Cleaning
A A ll Jeff Rowland Design Group products are designed to provide a
lifetime of enjoyment and listening pleasure. The chassis is sealed to
prevent dust from entering and the interior of the chassis should not
need cleaning during the lifetime of the product. All internal circuitry
is self-adjusting such that no adjustments or maintenance of any
kind are necessary over the lifetime of the product.
If the amplifier is ever in need of service, updating, or upgrading, it
should only be returned to an authorized repair facility or technician
for servicing.
The MC-6 Multi-Channel Power Amplifier is finely constructed from
pieces of solid aluminum. The front panel of the unit is cut in a
unique process that uses a diamond tipped blade. This process was
refined over many years to produce an artistic and attractive finish.
Because the surface is not finished in the typical fashion of most
audio and video equipment, there are a few rules that must be kept
in mind when cleaning the equipment.
• Please allow the front panel to cure for 6 months before
attempting to clean it. This will prevent small scratches from
marring the surface before the surface coating has had a
chance to harden completely.
• The top cover, sides, and bottom cover can all be cleaned with
a soft cotton cloth (such as an optical lens cleaning cloth
or fine
furniture polishing rag) dampened with plain water. Water should
be applied directly to the cloth and not the chassis. If a mark
has been left on the chassis, do
not use any type of abrasive or
chemical cleaner to remove the mark. A very mild plastic or
glass cleaner that does not contain ammonia should be tried
only as a last resort.
Please contact the factory before trying any type of cleanser on
the chassis other than water to clean the unit.
• The front panel of the unit should never be cleaned with anything
other than a very soft cotton cloth and plain water or fine oil-
based furniture polish. Because of the fine finish of the front
panel, small scratches from the use of any other agent to clean
the front panel will become very visible.
If you have any questions about the care or cleaning of your MC-6
amplifier, please contact your dealer or the Jeff Rowland Design
Group factory before attempting to clean the chassis. The use of a
cleanser or abrasive to clean the chassis that has not been
approved by the factory will almost certainly damage the finish and
will not be covered under warranty.
DC Protection System DC Protection System
TT
he MC-6 Multi-Channel Power Amplifier is equipped with both
magnetic and thermal circuit breakers for protection against
excessive voltage input and DC signal current.
However, since no protection circuitry or system can completely
protect a product from every electrical hazard, certain precautions
should be observed. In the event of severe voltage hazards such as
lightning, or when the amplifier will not be used for extended periods
of time such as when going on holiday, the amplifier should be
unplugged from the AC mains to avoid potential damage to the
internal circuitry. As lightning can also be carried through other
components and interconnect cables, associated electronics
should also be disconnected from the AC mains, antennae, or
television cable if possible.
