SOURCE COMPONENT CONNECTIONS & OUTPUT SETTINGS 
 
Make all connections before powering on the Model 7.250. It is also recommended that you 
power on the source components and processor in your system before powering on the Model 
7.250. This avoids the possibility of any pops or transients from other components being 
amplified and sent to the speakers. Always start with a low volume level on the controller or 
preamplifier to avoid potential damage to the speakers. All volume and level adjustments are 
made on your preamplifier, controller or surround processor. When using the Model 7.250 for the 
first time, you should re-set the output levels of the channels on your processor. 
 
 
PROTECTION MODE 
 
The Model 7.250 is equipped to protect itself against potentially damaging conditions such as 
overheating, mis-wiring and electrical failures. Under such conditions, the Model 7.250 will enter 
a protection mode. When this occurs, the unit will mute to protect itself and speakers from 
potential damage. If the Model 7.250 enters protection mode (mutes itself): 
 
1. Immediately power off the unit with the rear panel Master Power Switch and disconnect the 
AC power cord. 
 
2. Examine all speaker connections to ensure there are no shorts. 
 
Power on the Model 7.250. If the unit remains in a muted state, contact Cary Audio Design 
customer service for assistance.
