Turn off any associated components prior to connecting the Opus 21.
This minimizes the chance of momentary electrical surges disturbing your system.
Connect the OpusLink interconnect to both the cd player and Power Centre.
Note that the cable can only be installed in one direction. Secure the connectors by hand-tightening the
integral screws.
Connect the Opus PowerLink cable to both the s80 and Power Centre.
Note that the cable can only be installed in one direction.
Connect your speaker cables to the s80 using either spade lugs or banana jacks.
The optional binding posts work best with spade lugs. Ensure proper polarity, which is indicated on the top of
the connector. If your speaker is fitted with a separate ground connection, it may be attached to the center
(yellow) banana jack, which is returned to the amplifier star-ground.
With the power switch in the OFF position, attach the power cord and connect it to your outlet.
The OFF position is selected when the O symbol on the switch is depressed.
Turn on the main power switch.
The ON position is selected when the | symbol on the switch is depressed. The Opus 21 will take a few seconds
to initialize and read the disc if present. The s80 selects the cd as the default input.
Turn on the rest of your system.
It is a good habit to turn the amplifier on last, and off first, to prevent surges and transients from reaching
your loudspeakers.
Insert a disc and press PLAY, or select another input.
The s80 amplifier will automatically select the cd input when a disc is played. Analog inputs may be selected
from the remote control or directly from the front panel. The digital input of the cd player is accessed only from
the remote control.
The Opus 21 is designed to remain powered continuously. In standby mode, the display is turned off and the
output is muted, but all of the circuitry remains powered. The output modulator is also disabled in standby.
If you do not intend to use the player for an extended period of time, the power may be removed via the
power switch in the rear. When power is re-applied, the Opus 21 will warm up and sound its best in about 1 hour.
