POSITIONING YOUR EPISODE AMPLIFIER Episode amplifiers are designed to help deliver a great audio experience that makes your music come alive for years to come. However, where you place the amplifier can have a large effect on the performance that you receive and the life of the unit. · Be sure that the unit is in a well-ventilated area that provides adequate cooling. · Do not block the cooling vents located on both sides of the unit. · Do not place the unit on carpeting or any similar material.
VERIFYING PHASE When proper polarity is not maintained, the speakers play at the opposite ‘time’ from each other, or out of phase. The result is audio with lack of bass and vocals that sound thin or distant. If during or after calibrating your receiver you suspect the sound is not right and you cannot see any markings on the wire to verify polarity is correct, try this simple test: 1. Sit in the normal listening position for the system. 2. Play some music with your receiver set to Mono.
INSTALLATION – SETUP AND OPTIONS INPUT SELECTION CAUTION: Only change switch positions when the amplifier is turned off.Each channel is capable of delivering the sources from a dedicated Line-In or the Global-Inputs by changing the Line-In/ Global In switch. POWER CONNECTION Plug the supplied power cord into the amplifier and to a polarized wall outlet or appropriate surge protector. CAUTION: DO NOT plug the amplifier’s power cord into a switched outlet, as is featured on some Surround Receivers.
