5 OPERATION - INITIAL SETUP
WARNING: A digital processor provides a wide range of signal processing parameters. The
results of using incorrect or improper parameters with a loudspeaker can range from poor
sound quality to damage to the loudspeaker. Be sure any settings you make do not cause the
capabilities of the drivers in the loudspeaker system to be exceeded.

CAUTION: Before powering on the processor, make all connections to the processor and
ensure there is no audio signal present at the processor’s inputs.
Use the UX8800’s rear panel power switch to turn the ac mains supply to the processor on and off.
Always follow prudent audio system practices and procedures for powering on equipment by powering up
all equipment in the direction of the signal flow order, meaning from the input to the output of the audio
system. Power down the equipment in the reverse of this order.
