OWNER’S MANUAL

MADE IN USA

!This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence

of important operating and maintenance (servicing)

instructions in the literature accompanying the unit.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol is intended to

alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous

voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of

sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock

to persons.

Dear Customer:

Please allow us to take this opportunity to thank you for purchasing this

CANARY AUDIO product.

We strongly recommend that you carefully study the Safety Instructions before

attempting to operate the unit.

After you have finished reading the instructions, please save this manual for

future reference.

WARNING:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE

THE UNIT TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

CAUTION:

TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT USE THIS POLARIZED AC PLUG

WITH AN EXTERSION CORD, RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS

THE BLADES CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE

COVER (OR BACK). NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SER-

VICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Power Source:

•The unit should be connected to an AC power source of the proper rated

voltage.

•Never replace the power supply’s line fuse with the one of incorrect

characteristics.

AC Cord Protection:

•Do not defeat the grounding or polarization feature of the AC cord.

•Make sure that the AC receptacle holds the AC cord plug firmly and securely.

•Keep the AC cord away from heating appliances.

•Never put heavy object on the AC cord.

•If smoke, malodors or noises are emitted from the unit, turn the power off and

disconnect the AC cord.

Keep Away from Water and Moisture:

•This unit should not be used near water.

•Keep the unit away from flower vases, bathtubs, washbowls, kitchen sinks,

laundry tubs, swimming pools, etc. If liquids are spilled into the unit, serious

damage could occur.

Ventilation:

•Slots and openings in the chassis and in the back or bottom are provided for

necessary ventilation.

•Do not place a cloth on top of the unit or block the provided ventilation slots

and openings in any other way.

•Do not place the unit on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface which may

block the slots and openings.

•Do not place the unit in a confined space, such as a bookcase or built-in

cabinet, unless proper ventilation is provided.

Non-Use Periods:

•When left unused for a long period of time, the unit should be unplugged from

the AC outlet.

PROPER CARE

Break-in Period:

•As with most audio components, the CA-906 requires a “break-in” period.

During this period the internal components will stabilize and reach their

normal operating parameters. There are no special procedures required for

this break-in period, just listening to your favorite music will accomplish this

task all by itself.

•The time required to break in the CA-906 is approximately 30 to 50 hours.

Upon completion of the break-in period you will hear an improvement in the

overall sound quality of the preamplifier.

No Fingers or Other Foreign Objects:

•Touching internal parts of this unit is dangerous and may cause serious

damage to the unit. Do not attempt to disassemble the unit.

•Do not put any foreign object into the unit through the ventilation slots and

openings.

Cleaning:

•A regular dusting with a soft, non-abrasive cloth will generally keep the finish

of the faceplate and chassis looking like new.

Packing Materials:

•The original packing materials and shipping boxes are custom designed to

prevent shipping damage from occurring.

•We recommend that you retain all of the packing materials and shipping

boxes for your CA-906 to be covered by warranty.

Registration Card:

•To ensure that your CA-906 is registered, please spend a moment now to

complete and return the Registration Card.

•Save a copy of the Registration Card and the bill of sale as proof of purchase

for future reference.

UNPACKING

•Open the shipping boxes.

•Remove the accessories that come with the unit.

•Grasp the underside of the preamplifier and lift it straight out of the box.

•Place the preamplifier in a safe location. Remove the packing foam and the

protective plastic wrapping.

•After unpacking the CA-906-L and CA-906-P, inspect them for any shipping

damage and contact us immediately if any is found. Do not plug the power

supply into any outlet if you find any shipping damage.

•Please keep all packing materials for future transport of your player. Shipping

the CA-906-L or CA-906-P in anything other than its original boxes may result

in damage that is not covered by warranty.

ACCESSORIES

The following items are included in the package aside from the main units:

•Owner’s manual

•Warranty card

•AC power cord

•DC power cable

•Remote control

•(2) AAA batteries (already installed in the remote control)

The batteries have been installed in the remote control prior shipping. To install

or replace the batteries:

•Remove the remote control back plate by loosens the screws.

•Install the new batteries, following the battery position diagram on the plastic

battery receptacle.

•Replace and secure the back plate.

PLACEMENT

•Do not place the unit near a heating device or in a location where it is

exposed to direct sunlight.

•Do not place the unit in an excessively humid or dusty location.

•Avoid placing the unit in the areas of vibration, impact or where the surface is

tilted as the internal parts may be seriously damaged.

•Avoid placing the unit next to kitchen counters or other locations where it is

subjected to oily fumes.

•Place the unit in a horizontal position, and do not place anything heavy on it.

•Do not place the unit on any other equipment which may become hot.

CONNECTION STEPS:

1. Place the CA-906-L and CA-906-P in a rack or on a shelf. The CA-906-L

and CA-906-P do not require a special rack or cabinet for installation.

2. Neatly arrange and organize wiring to and from the preamplifier and all

components. Separate the AC wires from any audio cables to prevent

hum or other unwanted noise from being introduced into the system.

3. Turn off any associated components prior to connecting the CA-906-L and

CA-906-P. This minimizes the chance of momentary electrical surges

disturbing your system.

4. Connect the supplied DC power cable to the DC power output

receptacle on the back of the CA-906-P.

5. Connect the other end of the DC power cable to the DC power input

receptacle on the back of the CA-906-L.

6. Connect the left and right analog audio outputs from all audio source

equipment to any of the inputs labeled Line 1 – Line 7 on the back of the

CA-906-L.

7. Connect the left and right analog audio outputs from the back of the

CA-906-L to the inputs of an audio amplifier.

8. With the power switch in the OFF position, attach the power cord to the

CA-906-P and connect it to your AC outlet.

9. Press the power button on the CA-906-P to switch on both units. The

CA-906-L will default to the second input (Line – 2) when it is first power

on.

10.Select the desired input signal manually using the front panel input select

knob or the remote input selection keys.

11.Use the front panel volume control knob or the remote volume level keys

to set the volume to a comfortable level.
