E&OE Version 2.01 Page 2 of 9 ENGLISH CAUTIONS C a s p i a n 5-Ch Amplifier AC MAINS SUPPLY Your Caspian 5-Channel Power Amplifier is set to operate from a fixed supply voltage which is marked on a label next to the mains input plug. Before connecting the mains lead please check that your mains supply corresponds to this label as below: 230V Products 115V Products 100V Products ………………………………….Voltage Range: 220V – 240V ………………………………….Voltage Range: 100V – 120V ………………………………….Voltage Range: 90V – 110V The mains lead supplied with this product has an IEC mains socket which plugs into the IEC connector on the unit’s rear panel. The other end is normally attached to the appropriate mains plug for your country. In the UK this is the standard UK13A plug. This plug should ordinarily not be removed from the lead. If you do remove it, please dispose of it safely so that it cannot be plugged into a mains socket whilst in a potentially dangerous condition. We suggest that you obtain from your dealer a complete replacement lead. Should you move to another area where either the mains voltage or the mains plugs are different from those as supplied with your 5-Channel Power Amplifier, please contact the appointed ROKSAN distributor for assistance. Please observe correct mains polarity at all times. The 5-Channel Power Amplifier mains fuse is located on the rear panel next to the IEC mains connector. This must only be replaced by the fuse of the type and rating as described on the fuse rating label on the rear panel of the unit. This product requires connection to earth (ground). The earth wire (in the UK this is colour coded green/yellow) of the mains cable supplied with your 5-Channel Power Amplifier must be connected to a suitable earthing point established for this purpose by your electricity supply company. If you are in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician. If the equipment is likely to be unused for some time, unplug it from the mains supply.

Remove any overall sheath or split figure 8 cable to a depth of about 75mm (3 "). Strip the insulation round each conductor to a depth of 12mm (½ "). If the cable is stranded, twist the strands together. Unscrew the binding posts. Insert the bare ends through the holes. Tighten ensuring no bare wires are visible. Ensure that you connect the RED (+) speaker terminal to the RED or GREEN or BLUE (+) amplifier terminal and the BLACK (-) speaker terminal to the BLACK (-) amplifier terminal. IMPORTANT NOTE: For optimum performance it is recommended to use high quality cables such as ROKSAN HDC-01S high definition Loudspeaker Cable. Many speaker cables such as the ROKSAN HDC-01S are directional. Please observe this directionality. DO NOT use speaker cable with conductor size less than 16 AWG (1.6mm Diameter). The Binding posts accept conductor sizes up to 12 AWG and most ¼" Spade connectors.

After connection to the Mains supply, switch the Caspian 5-Channel Power Amplifier ON at the rear panel. It will enter STANDBY and the STANDBY LIGHT (2) glows RED. Press either of the MODE buttons (1 or 9), after a couple of seconds, the amplifier will set it self in AUTO mode and the AUTO LIGHT (8) will glow GREEN and the STANDBY LIGHT (2) will extinguish. Your Caspian 5-Channel A/V Power amplifier is now ready for use. To set the amplifier back into standby, press either of the MODE buttons (1 or 9), and the AUTO LIGHT will extinguish and the STANDBY LIGHT (2) glows RED. Thanks to its advance circuit design and 1 kVA power transformer, the Caspian 5-Channel Power amplifier is capable of audiophile sound quality with excellent transient power to compliment both ‘pure audio’ and audio/visual sound tracks. Your Caspian 5-Channel power amplifier is a high power, high current amplifier with very low distortion. Most of the time, even with the most demanding material, it will not current limit and the distortion will remain ultra low. However when using low impedance loudspeakers at very high volume levels or when the surround sound processor output is set too high, the amplifier may occasionally current limit and its output distortion begin to increase. The control circuit of your 5-Channel Power Amplifier will automatically detect this and on the front panel display the corresponding channels’ Overload Indicator (3, 4, 5, 6 or 7) will glow RED. You should first check the output of level of your surround sound processor and if it is set too high Trim it lower. Secondly lower the Master Volume and if applicable consider Multi-Amping your loudspeakers. IMPORTANT NOTE: The current Overload Indicators will only illuminate if the amplifier is driven continuously at or past its maximum current capacity. These indicate overload of the power supply just before the onset of audible distortion. These Indicators in virtually all imaginable listening situations will rarely illuminate The control circuit indicates a fault when one or more of the Overload Indicators glow continuously RED without any input signal. You should switch the amplifier immediately off and contact your ROKSAN Authorized Retailer. Multi-Amping The Loudspeakers Operation If the Loudspeakers utilise more than one drive unit with individual input terminals, for example a Tweeter and a Woofer, then the loudspeaker performance will benefit from Bi-Amping. Dedicating one amplifier to the Tweeter and another to the Woofer, isolates them from each other hence reducing distortion and increasing reserved power. Speakers work far better with most amplifiers when Multi-Amped than using one yet more powerful amplifier. Note: Bi-Wiring reduces the impedance seen by the Woofer and the Tweeter and is a first step towards Bi-Amping. TROUBLESHOOTING C a s p i a n 5-Ch Amplifier If you suspect that your ROKSAN Caspian 5-Channel Power Amplifier is not operating properly, you should check all the connections carefully. Below are some commonly encountered problems with suggestions for possible cure. The list is not exhaustive: If you have any unresolved problems, please consult your appointed ROKSAN dealer or distributor. SYMPTOM No power No output on one or more channels LIKELY CAUSE SUGGESTED REMEDY AC Mains lead not inserted properly Unit not switched on at rear panel Amplifier in stand-by mode (MODE light RED) Missing or bad input signal connection Incorrect speaker connection Ensure AC Mains lead is fully inserted Switch unit on at rear panel Press MODE button to set amplifier in AUTO mode (AUTO light GREEN) Check all input connections Check all output connections on rear panel Allow amplifier to cool, increase ventillation or use at lower volume Check Mains polarity and grounding on all connected equipment Over heating Hum from speakers Incorrect Grounding Roksan Audio ltd Caspian 5-Channel A/V Power Amplifier User Manual CLASSIFICATION: General Use All specifications are liable to change without notice.
