Unpacking Your JC 1
Unpack your JC 1 from the shipping carton, remove the enclosed AC power cord, the small
“L” shaped metal rack mounts, and the gray control wire with a sub-mini 2.5 mm plug on each
end. (This is the trigger connection wire). While you are unpacking your new amplifier, inspect
it thoroughly for possible shipping damage. If you see any, contact your Parasound dealer right
away. Be sure to save and store both the inner and outer cartons and the packing inserts for
possible future transport. To save
room for storage, you can cut the seams on the bottom of the cartons and flatten them.
Keeping Records for Future Reference
Record the serial number located on the bottom of your JC 1 in the space below. Also note
your Parasound Dealer’s name and phone number. We recommend that you keep your purchase
receipt with this manual and store them both in a safe place. You may need to refer to this
information sometime in the future.
