Set up procedure
Before connecting the ECI 5 to the mains, check that the main voltage indicated on the rear
panel corresponds to the line voltage in the territory were you intend to use the unit.
How to avoid damages
Do not under any circumstances connect or disconnect equipment when power is turned on.
The design of the RCA plug generates a huge transient when inserted. Connecting or dis-
connecting equipment with the power on can result in severe damage to both speakers and
amplifier.
How to avoid noise problems
The ECI 5 contains delicate circuits that are sensitive to magnetic strayfields. The unit should
not be placed near mains transformers, TV sets etc. Care should also be taken regarding
placement of the interconnect cables. Do not run interconnect cables in parallel with main
cords or speaker cables. Keep interconnect cables as short as possible.
How to avoid possible 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.
How to connect your system
Please read this page carefully and follow diagram 1, page 14.
Gain switch
On the rear panel you will find a switch to adjust the gain in the amplifier. Use this switch to
accommodate the signal source to the amplifier. This switch will also affect the HT input.
