Unpacking Your A 52
Unpack your A 52 from the shipping carton, remove the AC power cord and the control wire
with a 2.5 mm sub-mini plug on each end. (This is the trigger connection wire). While you are
unpacking your new amplifier, inspect it thoroughly for possible shipping damage. If you see any,
contact your Parasound dealer right away. Be sure to save and store both the inner and outer
cartons and the packing inserts for possible future transport. To save room for storage, you can
cut the seams on the bottom of the cartons and flatten them.
Keeping Records for Future Reference
Record the serial number located on the bottom of your A 52 in the space below. Also note
your Parasound Dealers name and phone number. We recommend that you keep your purchase
receipt with this manual and store them both in a safe place. You may need to refer to this
information sometime in the future.
