Installation And Wiring - T+A Elektroakustik DAC 8 DSD Betriebsanleitung

Installation and wiring

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.
If the device has been in storage, or has not been used for a protracted
period (> two years), it is essential to have it checked by a specialist
technician before re-use.
Before placing the unit on sensitive laquer or wood surfaces please
check the compatibility of the surface and the unit's feet on a non visible
point and if necessary use an underlay. We recommend a surface of
stone, glass, metal or the like.
The unit should be placed on a rigid, level base (See also chapter
"Safety notes"). When placing the unit on resonance absorbers or anti-
resonant components make sure that the stability of the unit is not
reduced.
The unit 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.
Mains and loudspeaker cables, and also remote control leads must be
kept as far away as possible from signal leads and antenna cables.
Never run them over or under the unit. Carefully unpack the unit 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.
If you have to transport the device, it must always be carried or sent in its
original packaging in order to prevent damage and defects.

Notes on connections:
A complete connection diagram is shown in "Appendix A".

Be sure to push all plugs firmly into their sockets. Loose
connections can cause hum and other unwanted noises.

When you connect the output sockets of the DAC 8 DSD to the
sockets on the connected, e.g. amplifier, 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 reversed.

The device is intended to be connected to mains outlet with
protective earth connector. Please connect it only with the mains
cable supplied to a properly installed mains outlet with protective
earth connector.

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.
If you encounter problems when setting up and using the amplifier 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".
