Unpacking
The 551 Integrated Amplifier comes in a box containing the
following components:
❍ 551 Integrated Amplifier.
❍ 1 power cord.
❍ 1 500 Series communications lead.
❍ This manual.
You are advised to retain the packing in case you need to
transport the unit.
To position the integrated amplifier
During normal operation the heatsinks, ie the fins at each end of
the case, may become quite hot. The integrated amplifier should
therefore be positioned to allow a free flow of air around the fins.
Do not place the integrated amplifier:
❍ In direct sunlight.
❍ Near heat sources, eg a radiator.
❍ Stacked with any other audio products, as the heat it
generates may damage the other products.
Before connecting power
Before installation you should ensure that your integrated
amplifier is set to the correct voltage for your local AC supply. If
it is not, do not try to install the unit, and contact your dealer.
Do not make connections, or insert or remove plugs, while
the unit is connected to the supply and switched on, as the
transients generated could damage the loudspeakers.
