Important Guidelines for Installation and Use
■ Do not place the power supply on a carpet. It can get warm during operation and some carpets can be damaged by di-
rect contact with warm surfaces. Place the power supply on a solid surface, such as a tabletop, shelf or rack shelf.
■ Do not connect the PPA-1's power supply until all audio connections have been made.
■ Place the PPA-1 where it will not be exposed to moisture or direct sunlight.
■ Install the PPA-1 and its power supply where they can get some ventilation. They don't produce a great deal of heat, but
using them in a sealed enclosure with no airflow could have long-term negative effects on the unit's circuitry.
■ Use a soft microfiber cloth to clean dust and fingerprints off of the PPA-1's surface. Stubborn fingerprints or dirt may be
removed by spraying a small amount of water or window cleaner onto the cloth, then using the moistened cloth to clean the
PPA-1. Do not spray any cleaner or other moisture directly onto the PPA-1.
■ You will get the best and most reliable performance from the PPA-1 by using high-quality audio cables. We recommend
against using the "freebie" cables included with some turntables.
