User manual ONKYO PA-MC 5501 & PA-MC5501,MV

[. . . ] Please read this manual thoroughly before making connections and plugging in the unit. Following the instructions in this manual will enable you to obtain optimum performance and listening enjoyment from your new 9-Channel Amplifier. The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. [. . . ] the protection circuitry activates if a problem such as a speaker cable shorting or excessive temperature occurs. Make sure that all speaker cables and input sources are properly connected, and leave the amplifier with its power cord disconnected for 1 hour. If the amplifier turns off again, unplug the power cord and contact your Onkyo dealer. WARNING If smoke, smell or abnormal noise is produced by the amplifier, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet immediately and contact your Onkyo dealer. En 8 Rear Panel This unit comprises 9 independent power amplifiers, each being capable of reproducing the same quality sound through its channel. Note that you should connect an input source and a speaker to each channel in use. Caution • Do not connect the power cord until you have finished all other connections. €¢ Read the instructions that came with the other components you are connecting. €¢ Do not make connections to input or output jacks while the amplifier is turned on. €¢ Turn the volume of the control amplifier down before turning on the amplifier. E f g h a b c d a Balanced Input (XLR terminal) Connect AV controllers or control amplifiers with balanced outputs for high-quality sound. GND Plugging the XLR cable Match the pins and insert the terminal until you hear a “click. € Make sure that the terminal is locked by lightly pulling the connection cable. HOT Connector ground terminal: Chassis grounded Unpugging the XLR cable Pull out the connection cable while holding down the lever. This pin assignment conforms to the standard adopted by the Audio Engineering Society. Refer to the instruction manual supplied with the control amplifier and verify that its output terminal is compatible with the pin assignments for this terminal. The output terminal of Onkyo PR-SC5509 is compatible with the pin assignments for the terminal of the amplifier. Phase is reversed when an XLR cable is connected to the control amplifier that uses the USA type XLR terminal. In this case, swap pin 2 and pin 3 to set the polarity to the European type before connecting. Note • When using this balanced connection for a specific channel between the control amplifier and the amplifier, set the INPUT SELECT switch to the upper side (the balanced input side) to select balanced input. Next, use commercial XLR balanced cable and connect the balanced output from the control amplifier to the corresponding balanced input on the amplifier. €¢ Do not connect anything to the RCA-type audio input jack. [. . . ] €¢ You can also use unbalanced (RCA) connections for bi-amping. Important: • When making the bi-amping connections, be sure to remove the jumper bars that link the speakers’ tweeter (high) and woofer (low) terminals. €¢ Bi-amping can only be used with speakers that support bi-amping.
