Installation
Read and follow all safety instruc-
tions shown on pages 2 and 3.
Observe the fol low ing pre cau tions
when choos ing a location for your
Cinema Grand Am pli Þ er:
• Protect it from prolonged
ex po sure to direct sunlight and
other direct sources of heat,
such as heating vents and
ra di a tors.
• Do not expose the unit to rain
or moisture. If ß uid or a for-
eign object should enter the
unit, immediately turn off the
power and contact your SunÞ re
Dealer.
• Avoid excessive exposure to
extreme cold or dust.
• Do not place heavy objects on
top of the unit.
• Allow adequate ventilation
around the ampliÞ er; do not
cover the ventilation slots.
AC Power Considerations
Ensure that the unit is plugged into
an outlet capable of supplying the cor-
rect voltage speciÞ ed for your model.
The outlet should be capable of sup-
plying 15 amps for the 120 V model,
8 amps for the 230 V model.
Care
If you need to clean the front sur-
face, Þ rst turn off the power and then
use a dry soft cloth, rubbing with the
grain. Be careful not to scratch the
display window.
Connection Tips
Before setting up your new system,
please consider the following :
Always make sure that your
com po nents are all turned
OFF before making or
changing connec tions.
• Make sure that the power
cords of all your components
are attached to the same outlet
or at least to the same circuit.
This will reduce the possibility
of a ground loop in the sys tem.
Make sure that the total cur-
rent draw does not exceed
the current rating of your AC
outlet or power strip.
• Use the XLR inputs if your
pream pli Þ er has XLR outputs.
These balanced connections
provide superior noise re jec -
tion.
• Whenever possible, keep the
power cords away from the
signal cables or speaker wires
to pre vent any hum or audio
interference being heard in the
speakers.
• Choose reliable hookup cables,
also called patch cords or RCA
cables. They should be fully
shield ed and as short as pos-
si ble for the job.
• Some patch cords can be a
very tight Þ t and there is usu-
ally a preferred method of get-
ting them off. Some have to be
removed with a twisting action.
Be gentle or you may dam age
the jacks of the ampliÞ er or
your other components.
• Some special patch cords
can only be hooked up in one
direction, these are usually
marked with arrows.
• It is usual for the right patch
cord plugs to be red and the
left con nec tions to be white,
grey or black. Video connec-
tions are usually yellow.
Unpacking
Your SunÞ re AmpliÞ er should reach
you in perfect con di tion. If you do
notice any shipping damage, please
contact your SunÞ re Dealer immedi-
ately.
Gently lift out the unit and remove
all the packing material and ac ces -
so ries. It is im por tant to save all the
packing ma te ri als and the box in case
your ampliÞ er ever needs to be moved
or shipped for repair.
Make sure that you keep your sales
receipt. It is the only way to establish
the duration of your Limited Warranty
and it may come in useful for insur-
ance pur pos es.

mail the SunÞ re Customer Response
card. Also read the serial num ber lo-
cated on the rear panel, or the under-
