III. CONNECTIONS
A. SAFETY CONCERNS
Although the D1200 is extremely efficient and runs cool, ELAN reccommends placing this
amplifier in a well-ventilated area that allows heat to rise. Do not place the D1200
on the bottom of a large stack of equipment in an enclosed area.
This unit is HEAVY! Use caution when picking it up and make sure that whatever supports
this amplifier can hold fifty pounds (50 LBS) safely. Do not place the amplifier with the rear
panel of the unit on the ground. Damage to speaker binding posts can occur.
Use only grounded outlets when using this product. Making any modification to the power
cord could cause unsafe operation and will void the manufacturer's warranty. This amplifier
is very powerful and should have its own dedicated 15 Amp AC circuit.
B. SYSTEM TYPES
Multi-Zone
Zone Outputs are typically connected to the D1200s inputs when used with a multi-zone
controller. In a simple application, each stereo zone output goes into a Direct input—sending
left and right audio to the two speakers assigned to that particular zone. Zone outputs can be
Fixed (speaker outputs wide open and attenuated with volume controls,) or Variable (volume
is controlled at pre-amp level and requires no volume control.)
Stand-Alone
Source components in stand-alone installations should be connected using high-quality RCA-type
stereo interconnect cables. Make sure to verify whether a fixed-level or variable signal will be
used, and whether a volume control will be connected. Fixed level sources require Volume
Controls, Variable source typically will not. Most stand-alone systems will contain an A/V receiver,
a stereo receiver, or a preamp; seldom will a true source component (DVD, CD, Tape) be
connected directly to the D1200.
ALL CONNECTIONS SHOULD BE MADE WITH THE AMPLIFIER
TURNED OFF AND UNPLUGGED FROM POWER. DAMAGE CAN
OCCUR TO EQUIPMENT IF IMPROPER CONNECTIONS ARE MADE!

E. FACTORY DEFAULT
When your D1200 arrives, it is set to a FACTORY DEFAULT condition. At some point during the
life of this amplifier it may be necessary to put the unit back into Factory Default mode. If
this unit is moved to a different location or speaker type, load, or location are changed, the
FACTORY DEFAULT procedure should be used.
1. Turn the D1200 OFF using the rear Power Switch.
2. Turn the unit back ON. The Front Display will read
ELAN.
3. Press and hold C+, C-, V+, and V- (all the front panel buttons at once) while
