CONNECTIONS - INPUTS
Four line inputs are available for connection to CD, AUX1, AUX2 and Tuner. All four inputs
have the same specifications and can be used as line inputs for CD, DVD players, Tape recorders,
VCRs etc.
CONNECTIONS - SPEAKERS
Each channel is equipped with 2 colour coded binding posts for connection to your
speakers. Looking from the front of the amplifier, the 2 binding posts to the left are for the left
channel and the 2 binding posts to the right are for the right channel.
Connect the amplifiers black speaker output binding post marked as “ - ” to the black
terminal (also marked “ – “) on the speaker.
Connect the amplifiers red speaker output binding post MARKED AS “ + ” to the red
terminal (also marked “ + “) on the speaker.
Special Note: make sure that all connections are tight and clean. For best performance,
use good quality audio interconnectS and speaker cables. Although several companies
manufacture good quality interconnects, those manufactured by
A udio Note are excellent!
CONNECTIONS – MAINS
The I Zero utilizes an IEC 320 mains inlet socket. Use the supplied mains cable to connect
the unit to the local mains supply.
USING THE I ZERO
Once all the connections are completed and checked, ensure that the volume control is at
the minimum setting (rotated all the way left). Turn on the amplifier by using the rocker switch
located on the rear top right of the back panel just above mains inlet socket. The red front panel
light should now be lit. The amplifier requires approximately two minutes to initialize before it is
ready for operation.
Function Selector – Turn the selector to the input you wish to hear music from.
Volume Control – This control adjusts the listening level or loudness, set as desired.
Bedding in time: The new amplifier requires about 200 hours of initial use (called “bedding in
time”) before the circuitry becomes stable and optimum performance is realised. As the amplifier
“beds in”, the sound will become more lucid, detailed and expansive.
Once the I Zero is “bedded in”, a warm-up time of approximately 30 to 45 minutes is
required each time the unit is turned on before optimum sonic performance is reached.
