6. l it is possible to disconnect the ground through the respective PE switch this in order to remove a possible audible humming generated by a ground loop or to shape the acoustic scene of the system In this case the Cammino company denies any liability for electrical security for the connected devices and possible electric shock Actually the equipments connected to the harmonizer are grounded through the signal cables connecting the devices one to the other but this connection cannot guarantee the same security level as a correct ground connection It is therefore of utmost importance that at least one of the equipments be steadily and properly connected to ground At this stage it is possible to evaluate how to get the best sound whether un grounding the power amp the pre amp or both Should the CD player not have a grounded plug keep the pre or the power amp grounded POWER SWITCH The power switch on the right of the rear panel is not intended to turn on or off all the devices contemporaneously it should be used for example in case of a thunderstorm or when the house is left for the holidays in order to improve the protection of the audio or video system from possible stroke of lightning We suggest to turn on the system in a sequence starting from the sources to the amplifiers To turn off the system proceed the opposite way from the amplifier to the sources At this time you can set OFF the power switch if needed By keeping the harmon
7. on Should this not happen unplug the power cord from the wall socket turn it 180 and re plug it in and check again In some places the green light might turn on in both positions this is because the powerline uses two phases to get the 220V instead of phase and neutral In this case the harmonizer will work properly regardless of the position of the plug The connected devices should be put in phase as well For this reason the red dot on the power socket shows the fase Should the phase not be marked on your devices you can ask a specialist for the related electrical measurements CONNECT THE HI FI EQUIPMENTS YOU NEED TO FILTER AS FOLLOWS DIGITAL OUTLET Connect this outlet to digital devices like CD and DVD players A D or D A converters media servers equipment with switching power supply LCD or plasma television sets etc with a maximum 450 Watt power consumption If you plug two devices in the digital outlet the one not in use should be switched off ANALOG OUTLETS Analogical equipments like phono or line preamplifiers record players headphone amplifier multi channel or stereo integrated amplifiers power amplifiers can be connected to these outlets Be careful that the total amount of power consumption of the appliances connected does not exceed 1 750 Watt whether one or all three analog outlets are used PE SWITCHES off PE off an on Caution For each one of the the two analog outlets to the left of the rear pane
