INPUT SENSITIVITY

IMPORTANT! Before you start, turn the input level controls to lowest position on all amplifiers and the

CFQ5.2.

1. Adjust the input sensitivity control of input 1 to produce the greatest possible signal level without overloading your CFQ5.2 preamp. To do this, first turn the volume of the source unit to 2/3 of maximum volume. If available on your source unit, set the maximum output to the on position. Find a CD or cassette with a dynamic recording (vary high peaks in the music). Be sure all equalizer knobs are in their center position (at 12 o'clock). Play the CD or cassette and adjust the master volume and the subwoofer volume control of the CFQ5.2 to 3 o'clock. Take a flathead screw driver and adjust the input level control until the peak light on the face of the preamp gently flickers. Back the input level adjustment up until the peak indicator light is no longer flickering. This adjustment will provide you with the maximum output from the

CFQ5.2.

2. Continue playing your CD or cassette. Set the master volume control of the CFQ5.2 to 3 o'clock and the subwoofer volume control to 12 o'clock. Now begin adjusting the gains on your amplifiers. Increase the gain control on the amplifier until the onset of audible distortion and then back off the setting slightly. Do this to each of the amplifiers or until all of the speakers blend correctly. Remember, always adjust to the system to the weakest speaker.

3. If you are using input 2, you will repeat the above procedure. If there is no volume control for the auxiliary unit, simply adjust the input level control until the peak LED starts to flicker. Once this is set, play the source unit at a moderate volume and switch back and forth to verify that both input 1 and input 2 levels are adjusted evenly. If necessary, readjust the input levels until the output level between input 1 and input 2 are equal.

Now that is finished, proceed with mounting the CFQ5.2. Enjoy your listening!

LIMITED WARRANTY

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. This warranty is only valid on Crossfire products purchased in the U.S.A. from an authorized Crossfire dealer. All

Crossfire amplifiers are warranted to be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and serviced for a period of (2) years when the unit is installed by an authorized Crossfire dealer. Non-authorized dealer installed

Crossfire will either repair or replace (at our option) any unit which Crossfire has examined and found to be defective and under warranty, to the original purchaser, provided the defect occurs within (2) years of the date of purchase when the unit is installed by an authorized Crossfire dealer. This warranty includes both parts and labor and applies to the original purchaser only. ii. Crossfire will either repair or replace (at our option) any unit which Crossfire has examined and found to be defective and under warranty, to the original purchaser, provided the defect occurs within (1) year of the date of purchase when the unit is installed by a non-authorized Crossfire dealer. This (1) year warranty includes both parts and labor and applies to the original purchaser only. iii. This warranty will be void to any unit found with the original factory serial number removed, altered or defaced. All units received by Crossfire for warranty with their original serial numbers removed will not be repaired and returned to sender freight collect. iv.
