The original decco that Peachtree Audio launched over a decade ago was a ground-breaking product that featured a USB input and built-in DAC to facilitate audio streaming from a computer. The whole concept of “computer audio” was cutting-edge at the time and other brands eventually followed Peachtree Audio’s lead and built-in USB DACs became an industry standard over time. The new decco takes the integrated amplifier concept another step further and addresses the most critical component in a Hi-Fi system; the speaker. The amplifier inside the decco is designed to drive virtually any pair of traditional speakers, but when it is paired with the optional duet speakers, it becomes a 3-way, fully-active, Hi-Fi system that easily outperforms much larger and more expensive systems. A portion of the decco rear panel is modular. As shipped from Peachtree, the rear panel is configured to drive a pair of traditional loudspeakers. When the optional duet speakers are added, the rear panel is replaced with a new one that configures the decco to drive the speakers in a fully active configuration including individually amplified drivers, active crossovers and equalization. The new decco carries on the Peachtree tradition of form follows function. The front panel is machined out of a single piece of aluminum and designed to emulate an old car radio with a single row of buttons and a volume knob. Simply select the desired input and adjust the volume to easily enjoy all of your music! The chassis is wrapped in a beautiful real-wood cabinet that has been a calling card of Peachtree Audio since the original decco was launched over a decade ago. The new decco is designed to handle a wide range of inputs. There is a USB input for a computer along with an optical input for another digital audio source like a streamer or a disc player. There are two analog inputs as well. One for a turntable (with a MM cartridge) and a second for a cassette deck or other “line-level” analog source device. The decco also includes an optional wireless input to facilitate audio streaming directly from mobile devices and Internet streaming services. On the front panel, there is a headphone output capable of driving a wide range of headphones for enjoying your music without disturbing others. Please take the time to read this manual to get familiar with the decco125 and visit www. peachtreeaudio.com to register your purchase. We will extend the standard warranty if you do and your information will not be shared with anyone. We will only contact you with news that is relevant to your decco purchase! If you have additional questions or feedback, please contact your Peachtree dealer or us directly. We sincerely hope that you love your decco and that it brings you many years of enjoyment. It represents a new standard for value, flexibility and innovation in the market. Thank you again for choosing Peachtree and happy listening! - Your friends at Peachtree Audio BACK PANEL ANT-1 RoHS ANT-2 Gnd.

USEFUL TIPS At Peachtree Audio we believe all products should be easy to use, but sometimes getting the audio to stream out of a computer’s USB port requires a few extra steps. See instructions below. Some minor changes may occur with Windows or Apple OS updates, but the basics are the usually the same. USB Connections Windows PC B Connect the USB-B input on the decco to an open USB port on your computer. C Your computer should “recognize” the decco as a USB device. You might even get a popup window notifying you. D Right click the speaker icon on your screen. E Select the “AUDIO” tab. F Using the drop-down menu, choose the Peachtree Audio option. G Click “OK.” Launch your music application and enjoy! Mac B Open System Preferences. C Click on Sound. D In the output tab you should see Peachtree as one of the choices. E Select it. Launch iTunes or other music application and enjoy! Once you set up your computer using the instructions above, it should automatically recognize the decco each time you use it. If you unplug the USB connection or re-boot your computer, you may have to repeat some of the steps above. This is normal. Other useful tips... For the best sound when listening to music from your computer, set your computer and music program volume controls to maximum and use the decco volume knob or remote control as the master volume control. For critical listening to music from your computer, avoid keeping multiple programs open. It can compromise the sound quality and even cause signal dropouts. Provide adequate ventilation above the decco so it can “breathe.” It is designed to draw cooler air in through the vents on the bottom and exhaust warmer air through the vents on the top. Please check www.peachtreeaudio.com periodically for additional tips and articles. Interested in the Green Movement? • • • • The decco meets European RoHS standards for non-hazardous metals. The decco draws less than half a watt of power in standby mode. The internal power amplifier is set to minimize power consumption when headphones are used. We are committed to continue exploring additional methods for making our products even more environmentally friendly. TROUBLESHOOTING ISSUE SOLUTIONS The decco will not power on. Check that the AC power cord is connected and plugged into an actice AC outlet. If it is, the on/ standby LED on the front panel LED should be lit red. Check that the AC outlet is functioning correctly by plugging in a lamp or other device to confirm its operation. The decco powers on, but there is no sound or the sound is very low. Check that the decco is not muted (blinking input LED) or headphones connected to the front panel (speaker outputs muted). Be sure your input source is powered on and playing at a reasonable volume level. Double-check the connections on the rear panel. If a phonograph/turntable is accidentally plugged into the AUX input, the sound will be very low. The remote control does not work. Check the remote control batteries by removing the cover on the back and trying new ones. Make sure the remote control has a clear “line of sight” to the sensor on the front panel. Check that no powerful light sources, like direct sunlight, is interfering with the sensor on the front panel. The USB signal from a computer is intermittent. Try re-launching the music application (iTunes, etc.). If the computer doesn’t recognize the decco, unplug the USB cable from the computer and the decco, wait a few seconds, then reconnect the USB cable. Try re-starting the computer. The decco is designed to remain locked on USB signals at all times, but computers drop connections occasionally and may require prompts to re-connect. There is hum/noise when using a computer. If you have music files available on a laptop computer, play them while running the computer on its battery power only. If the hum/noise disappears, then the ground connection on the computer’s AC adapter is introducing a “ground loop” into the system. This is not unusual, but the USB input on the decco is designed to minimize the potential. If the issue persists, please contact your reseller or Peachtree Audio. There is a “click” or “pop” when using the front panel controls. Sometimes static buildup on your hand will discharge into the unit when touched and cause an audible click or pop noise. This is normal and happens most frequently in low humidity environments and in rooms with carpets. If the unit is behaving erratically afterwards, power it down completely by turning it off, letting it sit for a minute or so, then powering it back on. If the issue persists, please contact your reseller or Peachtree Audio.
