Carefully unpack the receiver and store the original
packing material carefully. The carton and packing are
specially designed for this unit and will be needed again if
you wish to move the equipment at any time.
Please read the safety notes in these instructions.
If the unit gets very cold (e.g. when being transported),
condensation may form inside it. Please do not switch it
on until it has had plenty of time to warm up to room
temperature, so that any condensation evaporates
completely.
Before placing the unit on a sensitive surface please
check the compatibility of the laquer and the unit's feet at
a non visible point.
The unit should be placed on a rigid, level base. When
placing the unit on resonance absorbers or anti-resonant
components make sure that the stability of the unit is not
reduced.
The receiver should be set up in a well ventilated dry site,
out of direct sunlight and away from radiators.
The unit must not be located close to heat-producing
objects or devices, or anything which is heat-sensitive or
highly flammable.
When installing the receiver on a shelf or in a cupboard it
is essential to provide an adequate flow of cooling air, to
ensure that the heat produced by the unit is dissipated
effectively. Any heat build-up will shorten the life of the
receiver and could be a source of danger. Be sure to
leave at least 10 cm free space above the receiver for
ventilation. If the system components are to be stacked
then the receiver must be the top unit. Do not place any
object on the top cover.
Mains and loudspeaker cables, and also R
must be kept as far away as possible from signal leads
and antenna cables. Never run them over or under the
receiver.
Installation and wiring
Notes on connections:

To achieve maximum possible interference rejection the
mains plug should be connected to the mains socket in
such a way that phase is connected to the mains socket
contact marked with a dot ( ). The phase of the mains
socket can be determined using a special meter. If you
are not sure about this, please ask your specialist dealer.

We recommend the use of the 'POWER LINE'
ready-to-use mains cable and the 'POWER BAR' mains
distribution panel which is fitted with a phase indicator as
standard.
When you have completed the wiring of the system
please set the volume control to a very low level before
switching the system on.
Switch on the loudspeaker outlet to which your speakers
are connected and switch the receiver to the listening
source which you wish to hear. You should now hear the
music.
If you encounter problems when setting up and using the
receiver for the first time please remember that the cause
is often simple, and equally simple to eliminate. Please
refer to the section of these instructions entitled 'Trouble
shooting'.

Be sure to push all plugs firmly into their sockets.
Loose connections can cause hum and other un-
wanted noises.
When you connect the input sockets of the receiver to
the output sockets on the source devices always
connect like to like, i.e. 'R' to 'R' and 'L' to 'L'. If you
fail to heed this then the stereo channels will be rever-
sed.
When connecting a recorder be sure to connect the
IN sockets of the recorder to the OUT sockets of the
receiver, and the OUT sockets of the recorder to the
IN sockets of the receiver.
If the remote control module is installed connect the
plug on the E 2000 remote control receiver to the
socket marked RC-IN E 2000. The R
the source device can be connected to the R
socket on the receiver using R
The receiver is designed to be used with an 230 V AC
(alternating current) mains supply. Connect it to a
correctly earthed mains socket using the mains lead
supplied.
The receiver can also be used in Bi-Wiring or
Bi-Amping mode. These wiring variants are shown in
a separate wiring diagram.
