ide the safest possible protection for the transport of your amplifier. Unpack

The contents of the carton
1 pcs Electrocompaniet AW400 power amplifier
1 pcs AC power cord
1 pcs spare main fuse (located in the fuse drawer of the amplifier)
1 pcs inspection card
Setup procedure
Before connecting the AW 400 to the mains, check that the mains voltage
indicated on the rear panel corresponds to the line voltage in the territory you
intend to use the unit.
How to avoid damages
Do not under any circumstances connect or disconnect equipment when po-
wer is turned on. The design of the RCA plug generates a huge transient when
inserted. Connecting or disconnecting equipment with the power on can res-
ult in severe damage to both speaker and amplifier.
Never short the speaker outputs to ground or chassis.
How to avoid noise problems
The AW 400 contains delicate circuits that are sensitive to magnetic strayfields.
The unit should not be placed near mains transformers, TV sets etc. Care
should be taken regarding placement of the interconnect cables. Do not run
interconnect cables in parallel with main cords or speaker cables. Keep
interconnect and speaker cables as short as possible.
How to avoid antenna problems
In some set-ups hum may occur when you connect the radio, VCR or TV to your
system. The problem is caused by DC voltage coming from your antenna.
Please contact your cable network operator.
