Unpacking the ECI 6D

Immediately upon receipt of the ECI 6D, inspect the carton for

possible damage during shipment. The carton and packaging have been

designed to provide the safest possible protection for transport of your

integrated amplifier. Unpack the unit carefully. Save all packaging

materials for future shipment.

The contents of the carton

• 1 pc. Electrocompaniet ECI 6D integrated amplifier.

• 1 pc. AC main cord.

• 1 pc. Spare main fuse (located in the fuse drawer).

• 1 pc. Inspection card.

• 1 pc. CD with the owner's manual and drivers.

• 1 pc. IR Remote control

• 2 pcs. Batteries

Set up procedure

Before connecting the ECI 6D to the AC Power outlet, check that the

main voltage indicated on the rear panel corresponds to the line voltage

in the country 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 tran-

sient when inserted. Connecting or disconnecting equipment with the

power on can result in severe damage to both speakers and amplifier.

How to avoid noise problems

The ECI 6D contains delicate circuits that are sensitive to magnetic stray

fields. The unit should not be placed near power voltage transform-

ers, 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.

ENG

How to connect your system

Please read this page carefully and follow, page 11-12 as reference.

Balanced XLR input and operation

The balanced mode can only be used if the signal source has a

balanced output. Use an XLR interconnect with GND on pin 1, + on

pin2, and - on pin 3. To use the balanced input with a source single

ended, connect the ECP5XLR in the XLR

Single ended RCA input and operation:

The left channel is the top row on the rear, marked black. All inputs are

similar regarding sonic performance. Unused inputs may be shorted to

ground, using a RCA shorting plug.

HT (Home Theatre)

HT is a direct input where the volume control is bypassed. ECI 6D will

work like a power amplifier with fixed gain. When selected the output

will be muted for a few seconds as a safety against accidental overload.

Preamp out:

The preamp out is dependent on the volume control setting, and MUTE

function. These outputs (balanced and single ended) can be used to con-

trol an additional power amplifier.

Speaker output:

Never short the positive output to ground or chassis. Switch the amplifier

off when connecting the speakers.

How to power up your system

You should always power up your system the following way:

Signal sources (CD player, tuner etc.) first. Allow a 30 seconds warm-up

before you turn on the ECI 6D.

When switching off your system

Start with the ECI 6D, then the signal sources. If the preamplifier output

is connected to a power amplifier, then turn off the power before or at

the same time as ECI 6D.

ENG

SPDIF inputs

ECI 6D will accept optical SPDIF sources up to 96 kHz/24bit on inputs

TOSLink1 and TOSLink2. Please use a optical TOSLink cable for this

connection. Connect coaxial sources up to 192kHz/24bit to inputs

COAX1 and COAX2. Please use a coaxial SPDIF cable for this

connection.

12V trigger Input/Output

The 12V trigger output may be used to automatically power up a

CD-player (or other equipment with 12V trigger input) when ECI 6D is

powered up. When ECI 6D powers up the 12V trigger output will be set

to 12V and will support up to 75 mA current output. Please keep the cur-

rent draw below 75 mA by limiting the number of devices connected to

the 12V trigger output.

The ECI 6D will power up (leave standby) when a voltage in range

8-20V (AC or DC) is present on the 12V trigger input, and stays pow-

ered on for as long as the voltage is present. The current draw at the

12V trigger input is 3.3mA.

RS-232 Control Port

The RS-232 control port may be used in home installation setups or general

usage for controlling basic functionality on the ECI 6D. Please refer

to document "ECI6DS RS232 Command Reference V1.pdf" for further infor-

mation. This document may be downloaded from www.electrocompaniet.no

Front panel

(see illustration, page 9)

The main switch is located in the center of the lower part of the front

panel. In daily operation, switch off the ECI 6D by press and hold the

Mute button on the remote control (see page 13). If the ECI 6D has been

switched off, allow two hours of warm-up for optimal sonic performance.

When the ECI 6D is not to be used for a long period of time, use the

main switch to turn the unit off. Then disconnect the AC main cord for

maximum safety.

The ampliﬁer is overheated. This is

caused by either playing to loud

for a long period of time, or not

enough free space on the sides or

above the ECI 6D.

Turn down the volume and make

sure there is enough free space

around the ampliﬁer.

For troubleshooting please contact your local dealer or our support depart-

ment. All contact information you will find at www.electrocompaniet.no

Replacing a blown main fuse

The main fuse is located in a small drawer inside the AC inlet of the unit.

If, for some reason the fuse is blown, turn the unit off, and remove the

AC cord from the AC inlet. Open the drawer with a small screwdriver

and remove the blown fuse. The spare fuse is located inside a holder in

front of the main fuse.

1. Remove the spare fuse gently by pushing it sideways out of its holder.

2. Insert the spare fuse as the active fuse.

3. Push the drawer gently back to closed position.

4. Re-insert the AC cord and turn the unit on.

Never replace the fuse with another value than indicated on the unit!
