Perreaux AVP1 - Manual (Page 10)

10
- Always ensure your AVP1 is
disconnected from the mains/line supply
if changing the mains/line fuse.
- Do not run the outputs into the inputs of
the AVP1.
- Operation of the AVP1 in the vicinity of a
strong radio frequency (RF) source
should be countered by RF filtering on
all inputs and outputs including the
mains/line supply. Any doubts or
suspicions should be conveyed to your
Perreaux dealer. RF interference can
cause serious loudspeaker damage.
- Always set the volume to -80 before
making any connection alterations or
when changing input sources. The
reason for this precaution is to protect
your loudspeakers against bursts of very
high powered signals from a high level
source such as a CD player. This
Situation can arise when playing a low
output cassette with a fairly high volume
control setting then switching to CD
where a high level of signal is present at
the source input sockets. The resulting
burst of high power may damage your
speakers or cause damage in some
power amplifiers.
- Make all connections logically and care-
fully, outputs first then inputs, checking
that you are maintaining channel
integrity.
Keep all inter-linking cables and
loudspeaker leads as far apart as
possible and well away from all
mains/line cables.
MAINS/LINE VOLTAGE
It is important that the AVP1 be operated
from the correct mains/line voltage. This unit
is factory set for the voltage applicable to the
original country of destination. The voltage
label and switch on the rear panel indicate
the correct operating voltage.
The AVP1 will operate satisfactorily within a
voltage variation of up to +/- 5% of that
voltage at which the unit has been set.
If you require the voltage setting to be
altered, e.g. relocation to another area, city
or country, or extraordinarily high or low
voltages, contact your Perreaux dealer.
Qualified service personnel can only
perform this modification.
NOTE: Always ensure this unit is
disconnected from the Mains/Line supply
before any covers are removed
MAINS/LINE VOLTAGE LABEL
The voltage label indicates the mains/line
voltage the unit will accept. Always check
this setting when first installing your AVP1. A
variance of +/- 5% above or below that
voltage indicated is acceptable. Contact
your Perreaux dealer for any voltage
adjustment and updating of this label.
NOTE: Any modifications to the
mains/line voltage setting within your
Perreaux product may only be carried
out by a qualified Perreaux service agent.
Failure to recognise this warning will
void any warranty.
MAINS/LINE FUSE
The Perreaux AVP1 is equipped with a user
serviceable mains/line fuse situated in a
small drawer below the mains/line-input
receptacle. The fuse cannot be changed
without removing the power cord. In the
unlikely event of fuse failure always replace
with the same type and value fuse.
Remember that fuses do not usually blow
without a reason. Any doubts about fuse
failure should be conveyed directly to your
Perreaux dealer.
The fuse rating is:
100-240V Normal Blow 500mA
NOTE: Always ensure your AVP1 is
disconnected from the mains/ line supply
before attempting to change the mains/
line fuse.
SERIAL NUMBER
All Perreaux units are allocated a unique
serial number, which are recorded at the
factory against build details. If you should
require information about your unit,
providing the serial number will help achieve
a prompt reply. Keep a copy of all your serial
numbers in a safe place. The ability to
identify and prove ownership can be very
useful.
