Unpacking the ECI 6DS

Immediately upon receipt of the ECI 6DS, inspect the carton for

possible damage during shipment. The carton and packaging have been

designed to provide the safest possible protection for transport of your

integrated amplifier. Unpack the unit carefully. Save all packaging

materials for future shipment.

The contents of the carton

• 1 pc. Electrocompaniet ECI 6DS integrated amplifier.

• 1 pc. AC main cord.

• 1 pc. Spare main fuse (located in the fuse drawer).

• 1 pc. Inspection card.

• 1 pc. ECT 4 remote control with a charging docking station and USB cable.

• 1 pc. IR Remote control

• 2 pcs. Batteries

Set up procedure

Before connecting the ECI 6DS to the AC Power outlet, check that the

main voltage indicated on the rear panel corresponds to the line voltage

in the country were you intend to use the unit.

How to avoid damages

Do not under any circumstances connect or disconnect equipment when

power is turned on. The design of the RCA plug generates a huge tran-

sient when inserted. Connecting or disconnecting equipment with the

power on can result in severe damage to both speakers and amplifier.

How to avoid noise problems

The ECI 6DS contains delicate circuits that are sensitive to magnetic

stray fields. The unit should not be placed near power voltage transform-

ers, TV sets etc. Care should also be taken regarding placement of the

interconnect cables. Do not run interconnect cables in parallel with main

cords or speaker cables. Keep interconnect cables as short as possible.

How to avoid possible antenna problems

In some set-ups hum may occur when you connect the radio, VCR or TV

to your system. The problem is caused by DC voltage coming from your

antenna. Please contact your cable network operator.

ENG

How to connect your system

Please read this page carefully and follow, page 20-21 as reference.

Balanced XLR input and operation

The balanced mode can only be used if the signal source has a

balanced output. Use an XLR interconnect with GND on pin 1, + on

pin2, and - on pin 3. To use the balanced input with a source single

ended, connect the ECP5XLR in the XLR

Single ended RCA input and operation:

The left channel is the top row on the rear, marked black. All inputs are

similar regarding sonic performance. Unused inputs may be shorted to

ground, using a RCA shorting plug.

HT (Home Theatre)

HT is a direct input where the volume control is bypassed. ECI 6DS will

work like a power amplifier with fixed gain. When selected the output

will be muted for a few seconds as a safety against accidental overload.

Preamp out:

The preamp out is dependent on the volume control setting, and MUTE

function. These outputs (balanced and single ended) can be used to con-

trol an additional power amplifier.

Speaker output:

Never short the positive output to ground or chassis. Switch the amplifier

off when connecting the speakers.

How to power up your system

You should always power up your system the following way:

Signal sources (CD player, tuner etc.) first. Allow a 30 seconds warm-up

before you turn on the ECI 6DS.

When switching off your system

Start with the ECI 6DS, then the signal sources. If the preamplifier output

is connected to a power amplifier, then turn off the power before or at

the same time as ECI 6DS.

ENG

How to connect your system

Please read this page carefully and follow, page 20-21.

SPDIF inputs

ECI 6DS will accept optical SPDIF sources up to 96 kHz/24bit on inputs

TOSLink1 and TOSLink2. Please use a optical TOSLink cable for this

connection. Connect coaxial sources up to 192kHz/24bit to inputs

COAX1 and COAX2. Please use a coaxial SPDIF cable for this

connection.

12V trigger Input/Output

The 12V trigger output may be used to automatically power up a

CD-player (or other equipment with 12V trigger input) when ECI 6DS is

powered up. When ECI 6DS powers up the 12V trigger output will be

set to 12V and will support up to 75 mA current output. Please keep the

current draw below 75 mA by limiting the number of devices connected

to the 12V trigger output.

The ECI 6DS will power up (leave standby) when a voltage in range

8-20V (AC or DC) is present on the 12V trigger input, and stays pow-

ered on for as long as the voltage is present. The current draw at the

12V trigger input is 3.3mA.

RS-232 Control Port

The RS-232 control port may be used in home installation setups or general

usage for controlling basic functionality on the ECI 6DS. Please refer

to document "ECI6DS RS232 Command Reference V1.pdf" for further infor-

mation. This document may be downloaded from www.electrocompaniet.no

Front panel

(see illustration, page 18)

The main switch is located in the center of the lower part of the front

panel. In daily operation, switch off the ECI 6DS by using the STANDBY

button on the remote control. If the ECI 6DS has been switched off, allow

two hours of warm-up for optimal sonic performance. When the ECI 6DS

is not to be used for a long period of time, use the main switch to turn the

unit off. Then disconnect the AC main cord for maximum safety.

The ampliﬁer is overheated. This is

caused by either playing to loud

for a long period of time, or not

enough free space on the sides or

above the ECI 6DS.

Turn down the volume and make

sure there is enough free space

around the ampliﬁer.

For troubleshooting please contact your local dealer or our support depart-

ment. All contact information you will find at www.electrocompaniet.no

Replacing a blown main fuse

The main fuse is located in a small drawer inside the AC inlet of the unit.

If, for some reason the fuse is blown, turn the unit off, and remove the

AC cord from the AC inlet. Open the drawer with a small screwdriver

and remove the blown fuse. The spare fuse is located inside a holder in

front of the main fuse.

1. Remove the spare fuse gently by pushing it sideways out of its holder.

2. Insert the spare fuse as the active fuse.

3. Push the drawer gently back to closed position.

4. Re-insert the AC cord and turn the unit on.

Never replace the fuse with another value than indicated on the unit!

Input configurations

XLR input: 1 = ground 2 = positive 3 = negative

RCA: Center = positive Circle = ground.

Output configurations

XLR output: 1 = ground 2 = positive 3 = negative

Speaker: Red = positive Black or White = ground

ECP5XLR:

ECT 4 Remote Control

Start Pairing

To be able to use the ECI 6DS with ECT 4 the two devices have to be

paired once. In the pairing process the devices exchange some necessary

data like device ID, RF address, etc. After pairing success, ECI 6DS will be

added to the device selection screen of the ECT 4 and can be used. Pairing

mode has to be started on both ECI 6DS and ECT 4. In addition, ECT 4

and ECI 6DS have to be in close proximity to each other. Pairing can be

canceled by pressing “Go back”, “Stop” or “Navigate left”. Hotkeys,

“Zone selection” and “System” key work as well.

Pairing procedure

1. To start the pairing procedure:

Press button , select "Start pairing" and

press the "Enter" button.

The following screen will be displayed (image 1)

2. Turn on the main switch of ECI 6DS immedi-

ately after pressing "Enter" on ECT 4. (image 2)

3. When pairing is successful, set the name of

the device found.

If there is no response in time, you will be

informed (image 3) and can try the pairing pro-

cedure again. Turn of the ECI 6DS and repeat

the procedure from the beginning.

1. When pairing is successful press ENTER to select the name of the newly

paired device (ECI 6DS). ( image 1 )

2. Next step, you can select to change the key mapping for the the volume

control keys (V+/V-/Mute). This will allow you to remap the volume control

keys to a IR device known to ECT 4. Pressing the volume keys will then send

volume changes using IR to the selected IR device. Choose "Don't change" to

let the volume keys control the volume on ECI 6DS using RF.

3. Last step is to choose a hotkey for the device (with the possibility to change

zone). Choose from A,B,C,D to assign the device to a Hotkey. ( image 3 )

When this is done, ECT 4 automatically tries to establish a session with the

new device. Name, keymapping and hotkey association can also be changed

later in the "User Settings" menu.

Operating the ECI 6DS with ECT 4.

After ECT 4 has been paired with ECI 6DS, you can start operating all

functions. The ECT 4 is working in radio communication mode and you

don't need to point the remote control at the ECI 6DS.

If the remote control is moved out of radio communication range, the mes-

sage "There was no response from the selected device" will be displayed.

Return to within the radio communication range and select the ECI 6DS

from the device selection menu, or by pressing the hot key selected.
