Hafler IRIS Stereo Amplifier User Manual


 
INSTALLATION
The gloss black insert on the face-plate of your new Hafler
Equipment has been packaged with a removable protective
coating. Please peel off this protective coating following in-
stallation.
When cleaning the face-plate, we advise a soft cotton cloth with
a non-abrasive cleaner that is safe for lexan and painted
surfaces. DO NOT use paper towels or any coarse material to
clean the face-plate as these materials may scratch the insert.
IRIS is shipped with styled end caps on its front panel.
Rack-
mounting ears are available from the factory for standard
19”-
wide racks.
In locating IRIS, keep these factors in mind:
1) All preamplifiers with high-gain moving-coil phono circuitry
can be susceptible to pickup of hum from strong external
magnetic fields. Such fields are usually strongest from power
amplifiers, but can also come from other equipment. When
stacking or racking your equipment, you may have to do so as
to minimize this potential problem.
2) The
IR
(infrared) “eye” for the IRIS remote system is behind
the dark red screen above the Record 1 switch. The IRIS
remote system combines a powerful transmitter and very
sensitive receiver, resulting in highly reliable communication
under conditions where many remotes will not work. However,
best operation usually results if the preamplifier is located AT or
ABOVE the height at which you will typically use the transmitter.
3) It is also desirable that the
IR
“eye” not have to look directly
at extremely bright light sources, particularly those of fluores-
cent nature. Such conditions can impede communication reli-
ability.
