9. Connect the power supply cord of the 

PDP 3 

to an unswitched

convenience outlet (like those on the rear panel of many audio
components). If you connect the 

PDP 3 

directly to a wall outlet,

make sure that the outlet has polarized sockets.

10. Set the 

master power 

switch on the rear panel to the “

|

” (on)

position, and allow the 

PDP 3

’s circuitry to stabilize for several

minutes before operating it.

Note:

 The 

PDP 3 

won't achieve its sonic potential right away —

sonic performance is close to the optimum after 350 hours (or
about two weeks of normal use). For the best performance, you
may leave it powered at all times, except when you won't be using
it for a long period (see "Important Safety Instructions").

The 

PDP 3 

may be turned on and off without affecting its longevity.

When it is turned on after being left unpowered, allow about one
hour before expecting optimal sonic performance.

NEVER

 operate the 

master power

 switch without first making sure

that power is turned off to your receiver, integrated amplifier, or
preamplifier/power amplifier.

11. After making all connections and turning the 

master power

 switch

on, turn on the other components in your system.
