Carver ZR1000 - Manual (Page 4)

Congratulations on choosing the Carver Professional ZR Series
Amplifier! The ZR Series amplifiers not only have superior fidelity
and the capability to drive low impedances, they are among the
most efficient professional power amplifiers on the market. By
utilizing digital power processing (DPP®), our ZR series can
deliver generous power levels, even at 2 Ohm stereo loads. By
design, the ZR Series power amplifiers are very accurate and
efficient. Your ZR Series amplifier should give you many years of
outstanding service and reliability.
UNPACKING
Inside the box you will find; one ZR Series Amplifier, one IEC-
type power cord, two Euro-style input connectors, four self-
adhesive rubber feet, and an owner’s manual and warranty card.
Carefully unpack the amplifier and keep the original carton and
packing materials for future moving, shipment or long-term
storage. After opening the box, please check for visible signs of
damage that were not apparent from the outside of the box. If
you encounter what appears to be concealed damage, please
consult your Carver Professional Dealer before installing unit.
