Unpacking
Remove the AC cord which is packed separately inside the carton. We recommend using only this specially
selected cord for best musical reproduction.
Save your carton and the cardboard inserts for future safe transport in case you move or the unit requires
shipping for repair. Note: the actual printed carton is not itself strong enough for safe shipping: you must
place this carton into an additional outer "overcarton" before shipment.
Before you proceed, find the serial number which is located on the rear panel of the unit and note it here for
future reference or in case the unit is ever stolen___________________________.

Placement Keep your Parasound PHP-850 out of direct sunlight and away from windows which might accidentally be left open to let in rain. It should be placed away from a heat source such as hot air registers or radiators. Do not place the unit directly on a pile carpet that could interfere with air flow into its bottom vent openings. - Page 3 Operating your PHP-850 Before turning the unit on, recheck all your connections and turn down the volume control to avoid any unpleasant "blasts" that could damage your speakers. Power Switch Press the upper part of the rocker to turn on. Press the lower part of the rocker to turn off.
