Unpacking the PI 2D

Immediately upon receipt of the amplifier, inspect the carton for possible dam-

age during shipment. If the carton is visibly damaged, a claim must be filed

with the carrier as soon as possible.

Unpack the unit carefully, and please do remember to save all packaging

materials for future shipment. The carton and packaging have been designed to

offer the safest possible protection when transporting your amplifier.

The contents of the carton

• 1 pc. Electrocompaniet PI 2D Integrated Amplifier

• 1 pc. AC power cord

• 1 pc. Owner's Manual

• 1 pc. Inspection Card

• 1 pc. Remote control

• 2 pcs. batteries.

Set up procedure

Before connecting the PI 2D to the mains, check that the main voltage

indicated on the rear panel corresponds to the line voltage in the terri-

tory where you intend to use the unit.

How to avoid damages

A good operating practice is to turn off all equipment before any con-

nections or disconnection’s are made. Do not under any circumstances

connect or disconnect equipment when power is turned on. The design

of the RCA plug generates a huge transient when inserted. Connecting

or disconnecting equipment with the power on can result in severe

damage to both speakers and amplifier.

How to avoid noise problems

The PI 2D contains delicate circuits that are sensitive to magnetic stray

fields. The unit should not be placed near main transformers, TV sets,

etc. Care should also be taken regarding placement of the interconnect

cables. Do not run interconnect cables in parallel with main cords or

speaker cables. Keep interconnect cables as short as possible.

How to avoid possible antenna problems

In some setups hum may occur when you connect the radio, VCR or TV

to your system. The problem is caused by DC voltage coming from your

antenna. Please contact your cable network operator.

How to connect your system

( See illustration, page 10.)

Single - ended operation: (

See illustration "back panel", page 9.)

There are 4 sets of single ended inputs labelled: DVD, Tuner, AUX, HT.

All inputs are similar regarding sonic performance.

Balanced operation: (

See illustration "back panel", page 9.)

There are one set of balanced inputs labeled CD. The balanced mode can

only be used if the signal source has a balanced output. Use an XLR inter-

connect with GND on pin 1, + on pin 2 and – on pin 3.

Speaker outputs (

See illustration "back panel", page 9.)

Connect the red connector to the plus side on the speakers and the white

connector to the minus side on the speakers. Never short the positive output to

ground or chassis. Always switch the PI 2D off when you connect the speakers.

Front panel (

See illustration "front panel", page 8.)

The standby button is located on the left side of the front panel.

The four buttons on the right-hand side of the front panel is used to adjust

the volume and select the input source. Use the up and down buttons to

adjust the volume, and the left and right buttons to select input source. The

volume range is 0 to 100.

HT (Home Theatre)

HT is a direct input where the volume control is bypassed. PI 2D will

work like a power amplifier with fixed gain. When selected the output

will be muted for a few seconds as a safety against accidental overload.

SPDIF inputs

PI 2D will accept optical SPDIF sources up to 96 kHz/24bit on inputs

TOSLink1 and TOSLink2. Please use a optical TOSLink cable for this con-

nection. Connect coaxial sources up to 192kHz/24bit to inputs COAX1

and COAX2. Please use a coaxial SPDIF cable for this connection.

USB input

( See illustration "back panel", page 9.)

The USB input accept sources up to 24bit/192kHz. Connect a PC/Mac/

Linux computer using a standard type A-B USB cable. PI 2D will show up

as a sound device on your computer. Please select PI 2D as the active

device to enable playback through PI 2D. On Windows drivers are

needed. Please install the drivers before connecting the USB cable and

follow the instructions. During installation you will be asked to connect

the USB cable. The latest drivers can be downloaded from: www.electro-

companiet.no/downloads.

How to power up your system

You should always power up your system the following way:

Signal sources (CD player, tuner etc.) first. Allow a 30 seconds warm-up

before you turn on the PI 2D.
