Before Connecting The CD 1 Power Cord
AC Voltage Selection:
Please do not assume the AC Voltage Select switch has been set correctly.
Please do not assume the 115V or 230V marking on its carton is correct.
The CD 1 will be seriously damaged if its AC Voltage Select switch is set incorrectly.
Before plugging in your CD 1’s AC power cord, check the position of the AC Voltage
Select 115v/230v switch on the CD 1’s back panel.
Changing the setting of the AC Voltage Switch:
Before changing the CD 1 AC Voltage Select switch be certain the AC power cord is disconnected.
If you live in a region with 220V-230V AC mains:
Plugging the CD 1 into a 220V-240V AC mains outlet when its AC Voltage Select switch is set for
115V will severely damage the unit and could put you at risk of personal injury.
If you live in a region with 110v-120v AC mains:
The 115V setting is correct for North America where AC line voltage varies between 110-120v. Most other
countries use 220V-240V and the switch must be set to 230V. With the 230V setting the CD 1 can
operate safely with AC line voltages between 220V-240V.
Incorrect AC Voltage Warranty Exclusion:
A CD 1 set for 115V which is damaged by 220V-240V is not covered under the Parasound Limited
Warranty.
AC Power Cord
An audiophile-grade IEC AC cord is supplied with your CD 1. Please connect it directly to an AC wall
outlet or power conditioner that is always “live.” If possible, plug all your other audio equipment into
the same AC outlet or power strip. If different AC outlets are used for the CD 1 and other audio
equipment the AC ground potential may be higher or lower between the outlets, resulting in audible
hum in your speakers.
