Installation and wiring



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.



The  device  is  extremely  heavy  -  caution  is  required  when  unpacking  and
transporting it. Always lift and transport the device with two persons.
Legal requirements pertaining to the lifting of heavy loads prohibit the transport
of the device by women.
Ensure that you have a firm, secure hold on the device. Do not let it fall. Wear
safety footwear when moving the device. Take care not to stumble. Ensure an
unobstructed  area  of  movement  by  removing  obstacles  and  possible
hindrances from the route.
Take  care  when  lowering  the  device!  To  avoid  your  fingers  being  crushed,
ensure that they are not trapped between the device and the support surface.
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.

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 input sockets of the amplifier to the output sockets on

the source devices always connect like to like, i. e.

'R'

and

'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 cables supplied to properly
installed mains outlets 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.

We recommend the use of the



'POWER THREE'

ready-to-use mains lead in

conjunction with 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.

The screen on the

MP 3100 HV

should now light up, and the unit should

respond to the controls.

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
