[. . . ] Where to place Crescendo Integrated Amplifier Crescendo Integrated Amplifier is a complex unit that may generate a lot of heat. In particular, leave at least 5cm around and above the unit and avoid placing it close to heat sources (radiators, heaters, amplifiers, television sets). Plugging in and connecting Crescendo Integrated amplifier Before connecting Crescendo Integrated Amplifier to a sound source, please be sure that they're both unplugged from wall outlets. First of all, connect the source's outputs to the Crescendo Integrated Amplifier inputs you want to use. When this is done, connect Crescendo Integrated Amplifier outputs to the speakers. At last, after checking that the power button is in the OFF position, plug the power cord into the Crescendo Integrated Amplifier inlet and into the wall outlet. Connection Examples A) Connection with a source such as the Crescendo CD Player with the Trigger IN connection. Powering up Crescendo Integrated Amplifier The unit is turned on pushing the front power button. If after pushing the button nothing happens, please refer to the troubleshooting section of the present manual. Note on HeadPhones output When a jack is inserted in the front headphone connector the power stages are muted so there is no sound coming from them. If the Headphones are removed the power stages are driven out from mute mode and the music is reproduced by the loudspeakers again. The headphone stage gain has been designed to give about the same sound level of the loudspeakers for an equal volume level, but it depends of course on the sensitivity of the loudspeakers and headphones used. Note on Trigger In Input The Crescendo Integrated Amplifier has a Trigger IN Input which can be used to allow the integrated amplifier be switched on by an other unit such as the Crescendo CD Player ­ Crescendo Integrated Amplifier pair. To switch on the Crescendo Integrated Amplifier with the Trigger In you have to supply 12VDC volts into the connector with the proper polarity (refer to the drawing on the back panel). Warning: the maximum input current allowed is 160mA (a fuse inside the unit protects the Tigger In circuit). To switch on and off the Crescendo Integrated Amplifier by the trigger connection leave the main power supply button placed on the front panel in the off state.
