Unpacking
Be careful when unpacking your Trilogy amplier, it is heavy: 19kg. Seek assistance if necessary. Store the packaging safely
for future use. It is the ideal method of protecting your amplier from damage during transport.
Environment
Do not site the amplier near liquids, or place water-lled containers near the unit. If water does come into contact with the
unit there is serious potential for an electric shock or re hazard. Immediately pull out the mains plug from the wall socket.
Contact your dealer to arrange an inspection before further use.
The amplier is cooled by convection and so needs good circulation of room temperature air under and around it. Do not
place it near sources of heat such as radiators or in direct sunlight. Do not enclose in a cupboard. Do not place directly on
carpet.
A at, smooth surface is required. As with all high resolution audio equipment, your amplier is sensitive to vibration, strong
magnetic elds and radio interference. A dedicated high performance equipment platform sited away from other appliances
is the optimum location.
Power Supply
The AC input voltage has been set for the country where it was purchased. Check that the label on the rear panel matches
your AC supply voltage before connecting the supply. The provided AC inlet cable should be used.
The 993 must be earthed through the IEC inlet connector. Do not disconnect the AC earth at any time. If in doubt about any
aspect of power supply, consult your Trilogy dealer or a qualied electrician.
To realise your amplier’s full potential we recommend high quality mains conditioning. See www.Isol-8.co.uk for more on
power supply and system solutions from our highly acclaimed sister company. If you are not using a mains conditioner for
best performance, make a direct connection to a mains outlet. Avoid using adapters where possible.
The input mains fuse is housed in a rear panel fuseholder. This is a 20mm ceramic type, full specication on page 23, which
the user can replace if required. Good quality power supplies, such as that in the 993, often have relatively high inrush
current when rst powered. Note this is when the 993 is turned on from standby, not when it is connected to the mains.
Depending on the exact position of the incoming mains sinusoidal waveform this can rarely blow the fuse or age the fuse
and lower its rated capacity for subsequent use. This is not unusual, it is similar to traditional light bulbs blowing usually when
rst turned on. It would therefore not be unknown to replace the fuse occasionally. However, if a replacement fuse blows
again immediately then there may be a serious fault. The unit should be unplugged from the mains, then please contact your
Trilogy dealer.
