Parasound A 51 - Manual (Page 11)

CONNECTING THE A 51 AC POWER CORD
AC Power Connections
We recommend that you plug your A 51 into the same AC wall outlet or power strip that pow-
ers your other audio components, especially the preamplifier or system controller. Having all
the audio components on the same power circuit helps prevent hum caused by possible ground
loops. The A 51 requires AC power that is continuous rather than switched on and off.
110 V - 120 V or 220 V - 240 V Operation
The A 51 can operate on either 110 V - 120 V or 220 V - 240 V. The correct line (or “AC mains”)
voltage for your unit is marked on its carton. Changing the A 51’s operating voltage involves
rewiring internal connections for both its main power transformer and standby power trans-
former, plus changing fuse values. Since there is a risk of electric shock, voltage changes must
be referred to a qualified technician.
What You ’ ll Need:
• An IEC 65 AC Cord (provided)
• An AC outlet or high quality AC power strip within reach of the AC cord
Before Connecting
❑ Remove power to all the components in your audio system.
To Connect
1 Plug the female end of the AC cord to the AC receptacle on the rear of the A 51.
2 Plug the male end of the AC cord to an AC outlet or power strip.
