presence of important operating and maintenance

(servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying

the unit.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Power Source:

•The unit should be connected to an AC power source of the proper rated

voltage.

•Never replace the power supply’s line fuse with the one of incorrect

characteristics.

AC Cord Protection:

•Do not defeat the grounding or polarization feature of the AC cord.

•Make sure that the AC receptacle holds the AC cord plug firmly and securely.

•Keep the AC cord away from heating appliances.

•Never put heavy object on the AC cord.

•If smoke, malodors or noises are emitted from the unit, turn the power off and

disconnect the AC cord.

Placement:

•Do not place the unit near a heating device or in a location where it is

exposed to direct sunlight.

•Do not place the unit in an excessively humid or dusty location.

•Avoid placing the unit in the areas of vibration, impact or where the surface is

tilted as the internal parts may be seriously damaged.

•Avoid placing the unit next to kitchen counters or other locations where it is

subjected to oily fumes.

Keep Away from Water and Moisture:

•This unit should not be used near water.

•Keep the unit away from flower vases, bathtubs, washbowls, kitchen sinks,

laundry tubs, swimming pools, etc. If liquids are spilled into the unit, serious

damage could occur.

Ventilation:

•Slots and openings in the chassis and in the back or bottom are provided for

necessary ventilation.

•Do not place a cloth on top of the unit or block the provided ventilation slots

and openings in any other way.

•Do not place the unit on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface which may

block the slots and openings.

•Do not place the unit in a confined space, such as a bookcase or built-in

cabinet, unless proper ventilation is provided.

Non-Use Periods:

•When left unused for a long period of time, the unit should be unplugged from

the AC outlet.

PROPER CARE

Break-in Period:

•As with most audio components, the CA-801 requires a “break-in” period.

During this period the internal components will stabilize and reach their

normal operating parameters. There are no special procedures required for

this break-in period, just listening to your favorite music will accomplish this

task all by itself.

•The time required to break in the CA-801 is approximately 30 to 50 hours.

Upon completion of the break-in period you will hear an improvement in the

overall sound quality of the preamplifier.

Stacking:

•Place the unit in a horizontal position, and do not place anything heavy on it.

•Do not place the unit on any other equipment which may become hot.

No Fingers or Other Foreign Objects:

•Touching internal parts of this unit is dangerous and may cause serious

damage to the unit. Do not attempt to disassemble the unit.

•Do not put any foreign object into the unit through the ventilation slots and

openings.

Cleaning:

•A regular dusting with a soft, non-abrasive cloth will generally keep the finish

of the faceplate and chassis looking like new.

Packing Materials:

•The original packing materials and shipping boxes are custom designed to

prevent shipping damage from occurring.

•We recommend that you retain all of the packing materials and shipping

boxes for your CA-801 to be covered by warranty.

Registration Card:

•To ensure that your CA-801 is registered, please spend a moment now to

complete and return the Registration Card.

•Save a copy of the Registration Card and the bill of sale as proof of purchase

for future reference.

UNPACKING

•Open the shipping boxes carefully by using a cutting knife.

•Grasp the underside of the preamplifier and lift it straight out of the box.

•Place the preamplifier in a safe location. Remove the packing foam and the

protective plastic wrapping

•After unpacking the CA-801-L and CA-801-P, inspect them for any shipping

damage and contact us immediately if any is found. Do not plug the power

supply into any outlet if you find any shipping damage.

•Please keep all packing materials for future transport of your player. Shipping

the CA-801-L or CA-801-P in anything other than its original boxes may result

in damage that is not covered by warranty.

ACCESSORIES

The following items are included in the package aside from the main units:

•Owner’s manual

•Warranty card

•AC power cords

•DC power cables

INSTALLATION

•Place the CA-801-L and CA-801-P in a rack or on a shelf.

•Turn off any associated components prior to connecting the CA-801-L and

CA-801-P. This minimizes the chance of momentary electrical surges

disturbing your system.

•Connect the DC power outputs of the CA-801-P to the DC power inputs of the

CA-801-L with the supplied DC power cables.

•Connect the analog audio outputs from all audio source equipment to any of

the four inputs on the back of the CA-801-L.

•Connect the analog audio outputs from the CA-801-L to the inputs of an audio

amplifier.

•With the power switches in the OFF position, attach the power cords to the

CA-801-P and connect them to your AC outlet.

•Turn on the main power switches. The CA-801 will take approximately 60

seconds to initialize before it is ready for use.
