1Unpacking and Placement

The EP is packaged for maximum protection. Please carefully read th

instructions below before proceeding to unpack the unit. Be extremely careful.

Unpacking

Procedure

à Inspect both ends of the cardboard box and open at the end without the

central staple by slitting the reinforced tape at either side.

à Fold back the flaps and tip the package on end and the inner box will

slide out.

à Lay the inner box down flat and upright, open it conventionally by

separating the top tray from the bottom.

à The product can now be removed from the bottom packaging. This will

be easier if you have someone to help you by holding the base of the

box.

à Alternately, the bottom tray and preamplifier could be tipped upside

down and the bottom packaging removed. If opened in this manner,

please ensure that you turn the contents over again.

Note: Be very careful to secure the unit if you are planning to flip the packag

upside down.

à Remove the two white polystyrene protectors off either side of the unit,

leaving the black material covering.

front panel.

The preamplifier is now unpacked and ready for further installation.

Your EP

The EP should generally be placed close to your amplifier, keeping th

close enough to your EP to avoid having to stretch or extend any of th

interconnect cables.

Do not place auxiliary equipment directly on top of the EP.

Please do not cover the product with a cloth or similar.

2Instant Install

If you are like us, the first thing you will want to do is to play your favourit

piece of music through your new EP. The following instructions are written to

enable you to achieve this as quickly as possible. These are not comprehensiv

instructions, but are designed to enable you to play music now!

Note: Please take the time to read the EP manual thoroughly as it incorporates

many features, which will enhance its operation.

Placement

The EP is essentially a low power amplifier and best results will be achieve

when placed on a solid surface with adequate ventilation. DO NOT place on

carpeted floor or cover the preamplifier!

Turn off associated components

This minimises the potential to damage any other components when connectin

your EP into the system.

Connect EP to power amplifier

Connect the unbalanced (RCA) outputs of your EP to the appropriate inputs a

the rear of your power amplifier.

Note: Try to keep all interconnect cables as far from loudspeaker cables as

possible and well away from all AC mains leads.

Connect source component to EP

Connect the output of your source component to the desired unbalanced (RCA)

inputs of your EP.

Switch on source component

Turn on the source component and make sure you have some program materia

ready to play.

Switch on EP

After checking the supply voltage compatibility with the voltage rating on th

EP rear panel, insert the power cord-set supplied into the rear of the unit and into

the wall. Switch on the socket at the wall and power up the EP using the switc

on the front panel.

Switch on power amplifier

Turn on your power amplifier.

Test for undesirable noises

Without any program source material, slowly increase the EP volume listenin

for any undesirable noises. After establishing that there are no problems, retur

Increase the volume

Slowly increase the volume on the EP to achieve a comfortable listening level.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Now that you have achieved your first objective, sit back, relax and please rea

sipping a hot cup of coffee. You’ll find the whole experience much mor

pleasurable whilst listening to music.

3Front Panel Functions

Power Switch

Depress this switch to turn power ON. Mute relay circuitry is employed in th

EP so output is muted momentarily after the power switch is actuated. Depress

the switch again to turn the unit off, at which time the outputs will b

disconnected.

Note: The EP resets the volume to minimum and balance to centre at turn-on.

Volume Control

When depressed, these buttons will alter the volume setting. The volum

adjustment range is 00 – 59.

Alphanumeric Display

The display will illuminate when the power is turned on at the mains powe

switch or when various remote or front panel adjustments are made. At turn-on,

the display will illuminate with 00 and default to the CD input. If no commands

are selected within two minutes, the display will revert to the standby mod

displaying a green dot only to indicate power is still on.

Source Select

When depressed, these buttons select the desired source input.

The order of source inputs and display indication is as follows:

Source Input Display

Compact Disc Cd

Tuner TU

Direct Input AX

Laser Disc Ld

VCR VR

Tape TA

Note: If the VCR or Tape source is selected no signal is supplied to its applicabl

output to avoid a potentially damaging feed back loop.
