Theta Digital Intrepid - Manual (Page 8)

2
IMPORTANT NOTICE
I.
It is imperative that the Intrepid be connected to a ground via its three wire AC power cord. It is
important that the AC power outlet, which the Intrepid is plugged into, is actually grounded. Failure
to do so will severely compromise the performance, reliability and safety of use of the Intrepid.
II.
Ventilation is an important issue when placing the Intrepid in a system. Make certain that the Intrepid
is placed in a well-ventilated area or rack unit. Heat must be dissipated and cool air must be allowed
to enter the Intrepid.
III.
Please take note that some powerline conditioners defeat the AC power ground on their outlets. If
the intention is to plug the Intrepid into a line conditioner, check with your dealer to make certain that
the particular conditioner that is intended for use DOES NOT DEFEAT THE AC GROUND on its AC
outlets. Only the highest powered line conditioners should be considered for use with the Intrepid.
Otherwise, the amplifier’s power output may be compromised.
IV.
DO NOT remove any cover panels from the Intrepid, as there are no user serviceable components
inside. Refer servicing and updating to qualified service personnel only.
V. Endcaps
(NOT shorting plugs) on all unused RCA inputs will improve the sound quality and may
reduce the susceptibility to RF induced anomalies.
VI.
It is imperative that the Intrepid be operated in a well ventilated environment and the immediate
external temperature be maintained as specified in Appendix D of this manual. External cooling fans
may be required in some cases. Do not stack any equipment directly above or below the Intrepid as
to protect it from overheating, as well as the continued functionality of any equipment near and
around it.
VII.
Each channel is a balanced bridge amplifier, thus the negative speaker terminal is NOT a ground,
and cannot be connected to a 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.
