Warning!
Caution!
DO allow at least 6 inches (15cm) of clearance behind the amplifier
so that the power cord and cables have space to bend without
becoming crimped or strained.
DO NOT place the amplifier chassis on a thick rug or carpet or
cover the amplifier with a cloth, as this might prevent proper
cooling.
DO NOT obstruct the ventilation holes on the top and bottom of
the chassis or reduce airflow through the amplifier.
DO NOT place the amplifier chassis near low-level components.
The power amplifier is capable of producing large output currents
and hence significant magnetic fields, which can induce noise in
sensitive components.
DO NOTexposethepowerampliertohightemperatures,
humidity,steam,smoke,dampness,orexcessivedust.Avoid
installing near radiators and other heat-producing appliances.
MAKE SURE all components are properly grounded. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of polarized or grounding-type plugs
with “ground-lifter” or “cheater” adapters. Doing so may cause
dangerous voltage to build up between components, which can
result in personal injuries and/or product damage.
Power Requirements
The Nº500H series power amplifier is configured at the factory for
100,120,or230VACpoweroperationat50Hzor60Hz.Before
operating the amplifier, ensure that the power label on the rear
panel near the AC input connector indicates the correct operating
voltage.
DO NOT attempt to adjust the operating voltage. Consult a Mark
Levinson dealer if the operating voltage is incorrect or must be
changed for relocation purposes.
Different operating voltages may require the use of different
power cords and/or attachment plugs. Contact a Mark Levinson
dealer for additional assistance.
The Nº500H series power amplifier is capable of passing remarkable
soundatexceptionalpowerlevels.Dependingonlisteninghabits,
loudspeaker demands, and the number of power amplifiers present
in the system, it is possible that the electrical service may become
the limiting performance factor of your system.
