Do not plug the Model 7.250 directly into the “Switched Accessory” outlet of
another device! These outlets are intended for use with low current draw products
such as tuners, CD players or cassette decks. These outlets are not designed to
handle the high current draw of a power amplifier. Using these outlets for a power
amplifier is a significant safety hazard.
SOURCE COMPONENT CONNECTIONS & OUTPUT SETTINGS
Make all connections before powering on the Model 7.250. It is also recommended that
you power on the source components and processor in your system before powering on
the Model 7.250. This avoids the possibility of any pops or transients from other
components being amplified and sent to the speakers. Always start with a low volume
level on the controller or preamplifier to avoid potential damage to the speakers. All
volume and level adjustments are made on your preamplifier, controller or surround
processor. When using the Model 7.250 for the first time, you should re-set the output
levels of the channels on your processor.
PROTECTION MODE
The Model 7.250 is equipped to protect itself against potentially damaging conditions
such as overheating, mis-wiring and electrical failures. Under such conditions, the Model
7.250 will enter a protection mode. When this occurs, the unit will mute to protect itself
and speakers from potential damage. If the Model 7.250 enters protection mode (mutes
itself):
1. Immediately power off the unit with the rear panel Master Power Switch and
disconnect the AC power cord.
2. Examine all speaker connections to ensure there are no shorts.
Power on the Model 7.250. If the unit remains in a muted state, contact Cary Audio
Design customer service for assistance.
